It is easy to judge a managers style from glancing at his Transfer history and I think this eventually will go against certain managers as i imagine people check who they are bidding against and may choose to outbid a known DT!

Why would I outbid a known DT? Remember, he is looking for players he can re-sell for a profit, which are not necessarily the same as a player who is effective in games.

I posted a few days back that the TL was a graveyard... the only exception being Thurs which is now simply going to be a feeding frenzy of Retired and Free Agents for cash rich teams.

When they announced the FA selling, I suggested that they time-match the existing market. That is, if 10% of sales are between H:00 and H+1:00, then 10% of the FA should be listed with deadlines in that period. And there is no reason that they players need to be released on one day, now that players are being removed off the bot teams before being sold.

I havent seen the numbers but if the active teams drops to 17,000 then thats a lot of decent players that lots of teams cant dream of buying.

The numbers are starting to stabilize.

GM JuicePats as he stated has an impressive stadium as do most or all of the NBBA teams... if you cant see that this is the only way forward then you are sadly behind the curve.....

I haven't come close to selling out my stadium except for one playoff game. I think NBBL teams can sell more tickets than D.IV. I started toward the end of last season. I won all 3 league games, and finished 12-10 in a 4-way tie for 3rd to 6th. Unfortunately, I had a very bad PD, and was 6th and I think my season ticket holders deserted me because of my 6th place finish. Other teams that I tied with were promoted during the bot clean-up.

i think the advantage(money) you and teams like doom already got will produce a lot of jealousy.

just a side question how did you knew you able to sell players like borrego and uricchio, its just amazing profit.

you may be forced to outbid a so called DT if the concensus now is to train and keep. If the number of teams is stabilizing then the current crop of better players may dry up altogether from the market.. i would imagine causing inflation at the top end of the market (which is fair for the reward of training) but to buy a $6k salary player over the next few weeks (especially ahead of the playoffs) i imagine will be more exp. and with injuries and transfer deadlines combined with lack of 'fresh meat' for want of a better term - better players will continue to rise leaving the leftovers trading hands for nominal fees.

but with 18,000 managers even if 50% train effectively thats a lot of players going to be hitting the markets in 1-2 seasons!! then we can see prices stabilize and a more realistic Transfer market.....

fair enough... it just seems that the announcement just co-incided with a monster thread (this one) and the 20% seemed a number just picked out to appease the complainers...

if after consultation this is the magic long term number, great......

what did you think of the idea that more than 1 person can win an auction and then offer a contract and then a combination of length of contract and perhaps sign on fee would determine the outcome.. thus promoting longer contracts / less turnover of playing staff?

For what it's worth, the news announcement titled, "Upcoming Major Changes," (which included agent's fees/commissions), came out a full month before this thread started.

am i wrong or did bb loose a few thousand teams this week?
if so, thats a big impact on economy or thursdays will be flooded with players???

This thread started when there were tons of good players on the market with tons of offers coming from day traders. I asked when the taxation should be introduced cause I was bored to see easy speculation on the market.
99% of people is happy about this new sistem, now we can really see who is a good manager; it's more funny to try to make a great championship with few money in the pocket instead of having millions and offer to every single player that seems strong.
As far as I know the BBs are monitoring the economy and probably other changes will be done in the future, in any case everyone that wants to have coach lvl 10 and 3 national player in Vth division is not a good manager. At the end, pls don't tell that the taxes are destroying the profits of the teams cause this is not true, I think I will not buy or sell anyone until the end of this season, this is a limitation (in my opinion not so strong) of people that waste the time making offers for all the day.

Will there be a different tax for drafted players? Or still the 20% tax?
