I have one suggestion. You should make rule for first week salary. To explain:
you can buy a player on monday and sell it on sunday and you pay him nothing. you only lose 20% of his selling price. so you can see that a lot of guys are buying players just for one cup game with salaries over 300k and then sell him right away. sometimes they lose money with that transfer but sometime they even earn little money. but they almost always win that cup game and go further in the competition. I believe that is more fair to other users who don't do those kind of things to make those guys pay him his first salary when he arrives to the club. in that case they will receive only 80% of money when tey sell him + they will have to pay him over 300k for salary. so I believe they will think twice before they make transfer like that. if you implement this rule this game will be much more fair for all of us.

I agree with this. I did this twice this season against 2 of the top 3 teams in my league & beat them both, in one case making $200k on the deal
Why not do the same with a player as you do the staff, you have to pay there salary as they leave, same as a Coach, PR or Doctor, unless he has been on your Roster for say 4 weeks, or something like that.

Right is not a popularity contest!

Good suggestion.

This would also curb the day traders as it becomes far more expensive if you have to pay the salary up front before listing the player.

What about the other end of the scale... This season, every week, I've been buying a bunch of players for $1k each and firing them before the economic update. I've only been paying salary for my 3 trainees. I'll probably do the same thing next season, this suggestion would ruin my whole economic strategy!

If thats the case, you would just keep your 2-3 scrub/minute filler players rather than buy and fire them every week

this suggestion also sounds really good. expecially this one for how many weeks he is on your roster.

it is really great that someone who is doing this kind of trading is supporting this idea.

thanks a lot.

i like the way from the poistons, but i don't like it when you have to pay such a high listning fee, which don't allow you to sell top notch players for a high but still fair price.

I bought a 160k guard for 2,2 Mio this season, if this dude wouldn't be selled the first time you loose betwen five and ten percent of the income just for listing the player.

I agree that something should be done. But that means a player can be paid double his salary during one week? Where does that money go?

So maybe it would be better if when you sell a player on wednesday, you pay for his monday and tuesday salary, and the one who buys the player pays for the rest of the week.
Or you could say 2/5 for a league game and 1/5 for a scrimmage, or 1/3 for a league/cup game if you're still in the cup.
So if you are out of the cup, you sell a player after tuesday's game, you still pay 2/5 of his salary.
That means if you buy this player on wednesday and you sell him on sunday, next monday you still pay 2/3 of his salary if you're still in the cup, or else only 3/5.


this is to complicated.
this "first week salary" is something like SIGNING ON FEE, and it means that you give player some money just for signing contract with your team. it is normal thing in european football and basketball.

GM are just something like "sheriffs" here, we don't decide about changes and don't have further informations about planned changes.
But by the way this is my second post here, when it is so important for youu to get a statement from a "normal User" with a GM sign.

And the BB read it, but they don't discuss because their statement change normally the direction of the discussion.
