There is surely nothing artificial about that situation...


It is completely and obviously artificial.

Why isn't it to you?Seriously.

What's artificial about being able to select a minimum sale price that satisfies you? I find that completely normal. BB is not a perfectly competitive market. These don't really exist outside of Economics textbooks anyhow. Therefore, providing some sort of guarantee for the seller is essential.


I was referring to your example of listing at zero and then bidding all the money a team has on its worst player. Isn't that the very definition of 'artificial' in this contest?

Erm, I am a bit confused as to where this discussion is leading. The post by JuicePats a bit up says just about everything that needs to be said about this policy.

We're essentially eliminating the chance that someone could argue that they didn't know the rules.

If they didn't know the rules after seeing that text, they're screwed.

first: CitB realy made me laugh, we definately need more posts like these

then, JuicePats, I think we all can clearly see the reason, and the reason is good.
But that does not have to mean we like it.

As I sugested you could add a piece of text with every sign up that they should read the rules, and that they are susceptable to penalties if they do something that is against the rules. If they do not read them, it's their own fault...

With this 1 simple and 1-time add-on BB takes care of it all.

The funny post from CitB was funny, and made me laugh, but in the end he hits the right spot. BB can't go warning players at all kinds of places for all kinds of things that could be done wrong. The site would look horrible.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

This won't break the game.

First point: if you are arguing that people who are unwilling to take the time to find out how much players of a certain type sell for and as a result decide to overpay for certain players are being victimised, then I argue that they are victimising themselves by not making the effort to find out what players sell for.

As for the second, rather hysterical, point, this is paranoia being taken to extremes. I find it hard to believe that any player is willing to massively overpay for a player - risking being fined or banned in the process - just to see an opponent lose money through a fine for selling that player for too much.

As our erstwhile GM states, this warning serves to prevent players claiming ignorance of the rules. These rules have existed since the beginning of the game: they are not new.

Couldn't have summed it up better. Well put

Just a little clarification for everyone: there is no "tool" for detecting overpriced transfers. Every transfer that is deemed overpriced has been done so by a GM or a BB. We have an effective system of review for these cases. If you're playing honestly you have nothing to worry about.

well i will purchase a player

my first player

where i can go to see to watch and to read or to listen how much is a player overpriced?

if i'm interested in a 3,000 salary player 18 yo playing as small Forward and i put a 300,000 offer for him there's any chance to know if it is overpriced without been loking the transfermaket for 2-3 months?

and how i can see the final bids for players i was interested in if i no longer have the links or player's numbers anywhere of the page? i need to put the links on a TXT file?

could be interesting to do an historial for losing bids or something like this, each manager will get his own transferlist to compare...

by the way there's a big problem here, and honesty is not a factor to be worryed about. Just you can be a very Honest Man and i will let to buy one of your guys for 1,000,000 and let the both teams banned.
