Just one remark, no tanking (money saving) team is going fill his rosters with salaries before the season is over (when you actually do not need to pay salaries. Why would you save up all that money to throw it away in those 3 weeks before playoffs.

On a side note we are drifting badly away from the free agent talks. There is a similar suggestion where the deadline etc are discussed, so perhaps we should continue there if interested.

make the period to buy FA 1 month. and maybe allow users to buy FA under 10k or 20k salary throughout entire year. in case someone needs players to fill out the roster or temporarily replace some player on their team

i think that's a solid idea/suggestion.

Oh so make the rule for the higher divisions, but the it still go on for the lower division. Yeah thats fair. More sour grapes.

dude if u need a laugh read ur own post

it will kill the transfer list completly? right? so there will be no transfers for the next 2 weeks?

lol

in case of long injury u cannot replace? u dont have backups? u dont have players that can play more than 1 pos? u never had injuries during the playoffs

lmao

dropping 2 levels of gs will stop this? u buy a prof guy on thrus, he drops 2res, u train gs & he is back 2 prof & this will stop day trading?

roflmfao

You kind of miss the point of paying salaries vs not paying salaries.
I think I made it clear, that noone will buy players just to play them in scrimmages.


more hilarity dude u really crack me up

u already said as every1 knows that the prices drop a bit after the deadline (we shall see how much this season with prices already so low) but 1/4 of teams (every 5th & 8th team) are already paying no salaries so if they can get a guy at a cheap price it is a perfect time

lots more wont be paying salaries next week!

so they WILL be buying guys just for scrimmages THIS SEASON so they have those guys ready for next season

its really not hard 2 understand

fine, the idea's not perfect. If you could help it to evolve instead to spit on it, the idea could be great.

The limit could be up to 40k for top division, 30k for 2.division, 20k for 3.division.... you see the point. I'm just throwing these numbers. Could be more up and down, but the general idea IS good.

yep i was thinking that after id posted! hahha.
ill summarise and post something there.
i wish real life conversations and meetings could be moderated like that.... the amount of times i walk into a meeting at work, and people end up discussing something totally different...

maybe i should start conducting all work meetings in a BB forum page? hmmm.

I'm glad you are amused:)

so there will be no transfers for the next 2 weeks?
Which part of paying salaries vs not paying salaries did you not understand?

but 1/4 of teams (every 5th & 8th team) are already paying no salaries
I said that TL dies if we move it 3 more weeks into the season. There will be no teams that do not have to pay salaries for those 3 extra weeks. Why spend money on salaries, when you can only use those guys in scrimmages. The salary change was introduced to not make the offseason a two week ghost town.

dropping 2 levels of gs will stop this? u buy a prof guy on thrus, he drops 2res, u train gs & he is back 2 prof & this will stop day trading?
As a experienced manager you should know that GS training does not guarantee you even 1 level GS increase. It makes me wonder have you trained GS more than once?
The "trade/playoff" deadline is here, I had to lower a bunch of skills on my saved searches to finally get a list of 20 players. When teams were paying salaries in offseason, there were actually more players on TL, everyone was trying to get rid of them. Just not many teams were willing to add anything to their roster. A large supply with small demand.
I don't know where your "glich" is but it's either reading or understanding...

I must applaud BB's for the FA change (and the salary adjustment every season), great way to get this games economy near equilibrium.

natch i know training gs doesnt equal automatic +2 & the diff tween paying & not paying

u r right about if the deadline was moved 3 weeks earlier that may create a low period but u know managers if the prices drop they will buy

so far u werent as funny as usual but like the great comic u r u deadpanned it until the last line 2 leave us with another brilliant comic gem

equilibrium? is that sarcastic? it must be sarcastic! brilliant!!!

so hard 2 read tone online 4 1/2 a second i thought u were serious

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

but no-one could really believe that this wildly fluxuating economy with plummeting player prices is an equilibrium?

surely??

not even u???

I actually do. Your idea of equilibrium is no free agents and teams sitting on money with nothing to buy. Prices raising to the roofs. Gotta love buying those 10k players for 1,5mil. Everyone is making a lot of money, noone is capable getting players to cap their salaries. We have been there before, you don't remember?
Current situation is a lot better.
I bet you are one of the people who laugh at people who crash their car, unable to understand that people might get hurt in the crash...
