I disagree with some of your statement. The market is completely flooded the first day of trading drafted players (huge supply). To be honest, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a high skill point player at a good price after that. The people looking to add players are normally "newer" teams. Those that started during the season and those that don't know that the market is flooded on about 3 days each season. For instance there are only 2 players on the TL with 51+ SP at age 19 superstar or better on sale for less than 50K and one is injured for 5 weeks. I'm sure there were hundreds the first few days of the season.
Supply is less overall (we both agree)
Demand is less overall (we both agree) - but demand from teams which are less experienced makes a greater share...
I myself will never sell a rookie as soon as aquire him. I prefer to wait until the market is quieter (less supply competition). Thus as the seller I can sell using a "Buy it now" strategy (Think Ebay on a low supply/low demand item)
Also I will not list someone for $1...unless I know I don't need to "market" him IE: he will sell on his own. (Again picture a high demand item on Ebay)
Anyway the only reason I am doing this trading strategy is because I think its bullshit. I have already provided very implementable rules to prevent it.
I am sure I could dig up more examples of trading activities that I would question. Maybe not "all" NBBA teams. But if you dig deep enough into their transaction history...well
There are examples and it was more prevalent in earlier seasons.
But I don't think upsetting fellow players is the right thing to do. The best thing to do is simply rewrite the game code some and remove a rule that is vague at best.
