Got it so it also depends on how many players you've sold in the last 14 weeks?

Edit: Sorry I missed Headless T Gunner's post

Did you see my -2%. -2% is lower than 0%...so I will get nothing. Do nothing can be profitable? I don't think so

You will receive -7% of the sale price after fees.
- This player has been on your team for 5 days
- You have sold 19 players in the past 14 weeks. :)

But I like this rule.

Sure, if you amass a large enough pile of nothings that it spontaneously evolves into something.

(Or, possibly, you might end up getting enough of a penalty to underflow the tax rate and end up getting 32767%)

I just think there is a difference between trading and daytrading. If you make 10 - 20%, that's a good appreciation of value. If you make 100% or more consistently, then there may be something wrong. Tax the profits on a sliding scale if you want, even to -2 or -7% but not the principal. If I buy for 200k and sell 2 weeks later for 200k, I don't see why that should be penalized to the level of $100k

Well, let's agree that it's good to stop excessive profiteering. On the rest of it, I think having a penalty is fine but it is too harsh and limits flexibility. However, everyone has to live by the same rules.

While I really like the new training system, I can't say I think the increased transfer taxes are a good idea. Presumably, part of the reason these rules were implemented was to help protect newer manager from being taken advantage of. However, I don't see how it does that. Sure it will discourage day trading, but it definitely won't make players more affordable and probably puts newer players at more risk. Most players on the transfer list are overpriced; with higher taxes, we can expect these prices to rise even more. As well, any remaining day traders will start overcharging by even more. Don't get me wrong, I think the player market on BB is great. There are many well priced players out there free agents always make it possible to find good players for reasonable prices, but these new tax system could make it harder for new players especially to find bargains.

What I propose the BBs should do is implement a price cap. Any players above a certain age (say 25) and below a certain salary (ie 20k) cannot be listed above a certain amount. As well, the price cap could apply to any 18 or 19 year olds whose potential and TSP fall below a certain value.

Another thing the BB's could do is make the starting price on all player $1000. To prevent hurting managers in different timezones, they could have an option to autolist the player at certain time, so all manager can put bids out during peak times. Also, this would ensure people are paying fair prices for their players. It might mean players won't make as much money off transfers, but this works both ways as it also means players would be cheaper to acquire.
