At those ages, double pop downs are pretty common and there aren't many players that can afford a double pop down.
At his (players')salaries, even single pop ups can ruin skilsets.

I didn't propose a solution. What i said is i'd prefer BB telling me that i am not allowed yet to sell a player than telling me i can sell sell but will be taxed 96%.
The first would be (arguearbly)strict but straightforward, the second is taking the mickey.

This is clearly one of the reasons why peeps are turning away from this great game. I understand the daytrader argument but if a manager chooses to change their whole team because they dont like their long term plans with the current roster (my reason) why the hell should i be punished? Where is the manager's freedom to manage how they wish? If daytraders have nothing better to do with their lives than sit around on bb waiting to make money good on them.

This 4% sale price is absurd and really makes me rethink the directiin bb is going. I started that thread in the forms seasons ago (is bb dying a slow death?) To generate discussion and get peeps to put ideas forth. I have never felt bb was going to die.

Now im not so sure. One of the great features this game has (had) was it allowed for a range of managing styles.

Im pissed off right now. Ive decided to go back to training but cant hunt for quality trainees because i cant even sell playets for a 'reasonable' sale.

Not good enough bb

That makes it clear that you don't understand how daytrading damages BB. Or it was your anger and not your brain speaking.

Yes, anger but i dont think i grasp the damage daytraders are doing so would be happy to hear your thoughts. Other than the obvious inflated prices which isnt their sole doing.

@maddog, completely agree with all your comments +1

BB says i cant sell 15 players without significant fines/consequences? Why not? My team, my business. I lise massive money when doing so given the limited time these guys have been on my roster. I have to wear that. I understand that.

But not being able to sell 15 players if i choose to? Why not? It's a serious question because while im all for many of the changes to bb one thing i will always speak up about is manager choice when it comes to rosters and managing them.

The other issue i have, which i just discovered, is that a few players i listed had, at the time of putting them up for sale, shown that i would receive 40-50% of sale price; however, whether because i sold a few (and there is some kind of cummalative effect) i actually received something like 15-20% (havent calculated exact % yet)!

So, i was told i would receive x % when put player on market but when player actually sold the % was significantly lower. What the?

If this is true and is BB policy it's pretty shady. Even more shady if it's not mentioned anywhere (a quick scan of the transfer part of the game manual doesn't mention it). Haven't experienced it myself though, so someone else backing up this info is needed.

As for the general topic, I think it's too restricted. I kind've get the issue with daytrading but correctly identifying an undervalued player is a skill in itself, if you put in the time to research the transfermarket and the time to bid, this should be a valid way of making a profit imo. (as I said, there's some value in limiting it, but I'd probably halve the current numbers)

To be fair, you haven't had a long term plan for a while. You've had over 90 transactions over the last 12 months, meaning you have essentially bought and sold your lineup every season. I think it's a little hypocritical to suggest that you should be able to change a longterm plan when you haven't had one.

Thats a fair point. No i havent had a long term plan for quite some time actually. Different things in rl and different opportunities in bb have dictated my plans. But it is unfair of you to suggest im incapable of one, its just been awhile.

That aside, the question still stands. Maybe you could focus on that rather than having a go at my managerial skills.

I was simply pointing out that saying you should be able to change "your long term plans" is a poor defense as you haven't had one for a conciderable amount of time. I haven't made any suggestions about your ability, good or bad. Suggesting that I said you were incapable of anything is a complete misrepresentation of what I said.

Reality is there are rules to discourage what you have been doing (and what you want to do). Don't play the victim and learn from the situation you're currently in.

Im not playing the victim mate and i do have long term plans. And you were having a dig at my previous plans without undetstanding

Anyway, enough said. This conversation has no value.
