something must be done


Why, exactly?

I've seen many people say this, but no real concrete reason as to why.


for the sake of realism.
find me a single team with more than 30 transfers in a season.

ah, also find me a team made by players happy to be tranfered on daily bases. call it motivation.

edit - though annoying, there's nothing wrong with this tactic, as they are just finding undervalued players.

or gullible newbies as in any other Ponzi scheme.

Here's how:

-The more people who participate in a market, the more likely it will be to arrive at a an agreed upon value for a player
-Daytraders find players who are undervalued by the market and sell them at market price, plugging a hole in the market for that particular skillset and timeframe
-The more daytraders you have, the less likely each one can find undervalued players
-If no players are undervalued (or overvalued), the the market has reached equilibrium for a particular skillset and timeframe
-When a market reaches equilibrium, it's less risky for everyone trying to buy and sell because there is less uncertainty about what they can get for a certain price
-Thus, for people who run the standard training and selling regimen, they will have a better idea of what their trained players will sell for than if the market were not at equilibrium.

straight out of the book, too bad it just doesn't work in real life. not even in a simplified market as this one.

Sometimes I thought that there should be a parallell agent game to both BB and HT. In this way people that love trading can get their fun without having to ruin the balance of the games.

(It is probably to complicated to introduce, so it is more of a thought than something really realistic. But who knows)

Cuba's economy struggles because of the embargoes imposed on it by the greediest, most selfish economy of them all. Small socialist economies in countries with mostly homogenous populations do fine, as I am sure Cuba's would if the USof Greed didn't strongarm the world into not dealing with it.

The definition of successful economy is a central issue. If it is okay that some players have huge piles of money with which they can buy all the best players and dominate the basketball part of the game, similar to the ways of professional sports in the US of Greed (see NY Yankees, Boston Red Sox, etc.) then alright! Let's have a greed-based capitalist game!!! Woohoo!!! If, however, we define a successful economy as some sort of parity and equity between all members of the community, then a major penalty for purely profit-driven transfers is necessary. Let revenue come from increasing arena capacity and developing a team that fans want to come see, not from poring over the transfer lists and buying and selling players like stocks. Go play a stock simulator if that's what gets you off.

My two baht anywho...

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Without outright restricting the amount of transfers (which would be more unfair than anything), then this is as good as it will get.

I really don't think so. I think that player contracts of, for example, half a season would be better. If you break the contrct that's ok, but you wil then have to pay a penalty fee.

the think with the "greed economy" as you call it is that ebven though teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, and Rangers have piles of money to spend, money is still not close to beiung enough (just look at their records). While in games like BB and HT it is perhaps not enough either, but pretty close to enough.

That is exactly what the agent fee does.

If you sell a guy immediately upon buying him, you're paying a 20% penalty.
