That's blowing things out of proportion quite a bit.

The TPE acts as a guide to prices on players. However, there are times when it fails. One of these times is at the beginning of every season when new trainees are sold. Since players haven't gone for quite a bit for many weeks, the TPE for all these trainees is going to look low. Then after a few sales, you see them rise to astronomical heights compared to what they state. Once the buying rush for new trainees dies down, you see the TPE settle again to normal levels. It doesn't affect any other area besides the 18-19 year old market really, and then, only for a few weeks.

If, on the other hand the TPE is supposed to be set in stone as "YOU WILL NOT SELL ABOVE THIS LINE" prices for all players would deflate over time, since the maximums would never ever be raised. The only time you would see a new TPE set is once it has finally fallen to "There have been no players like this transferred recently". Given the choice between a few weeks of a small group of player's TPEs fluctuating wildly and a general overall depression in the market, I'll take what we've got now.

I don't wrote TPE,I wrote TPA man,read better the posts of other users before answer...

From the rules:

It is against BuzzerBeater rules to bid above market rates on a player.

If the transfer price was determined to be unreasonable, the GMs are authorized to fine your team by an appropriate amount

TPA,Transfer Price Adjusted,when GMs think a bid is over the market value of a player and subtract money to the seller to balance distortions of the markets

Now the questions is:How can they determinate the "ideal" value of a player to check if a sale deserve a TPA or not?
It's not easy,they use empirical and logical guidelines.
The golden rule,surely is that rookies should not worth as the best players affordable by BB-teams,surely,because it's not realistic,logic neither in the spirit of the game that there's no reward for training a player,when only with the draft you can have a player of the same market value of NT players(salary monsters market price is a problem apart)

I apologize, I misread the acronym. Seeing that the rest of your post still makes perfect sense with that misreading, I think that the mistake isn't worth an attack. Please calm down.

As for your latter statement, I've never had a trainee worth anywhere near what the TPE is, a TPA would be looked at, etc, but I personally don't think that it's wrong at all in a controlled environment such as this where you *know* that a player will be playing for 12+ years and training for 8+ that you may be willing to pay what the player will be worth. After all, if you don't, someone else will. If the BBs start assessing TPAs based on a 3M sale, they've now placed an artificial cap on rookie sales. And that's another slippery slope.

It all depends on overall market prices.If there is an overall increase of the prices,the bar set for TPA will be higher,if prices go down the set bar will go down
Tobias Kienbink,among the top SFs of the world was selled by Boston Celtics for less than 6M 10 days ago.If someone sell a rookie for 5M,I can easily see that there is somehting strange here,do you agree?

I think that the situation is clear to everyone that has a minimum experience in BB, it's hard to find a solution but the draft is a weak aspect of BB since the beginning.

I disagree with your premie that all players train the same in BB. Oterwise all players of similar height and potential would have the same skill. There are many many thins thainfluence and change how a player gets trained.

As far as your point that my view is narrow-minded, that's fine if you want to believe that is what I was trying to say.
