Give you an idea, here are 3 players I bought and their current sales tax

He was acquired by the current owner 47 days ago = 83%%
He was acquired by the current owner 15 days ago = 67%
He was acquired by the current owner 6 days ago = 56%

Interesting figures. I've been slightly more active in the market so mine are a bit lower.

He was acquired by the current owner 5 days ago = 43%
He was acquired by the current owner 11 days ago = 50%
He was acquired by the current owner 18 days ago = 57%

They must rise faster so they're at the maximum at the same time as before.

He was acquired by the current owner 70 days ago = 91%

Personally I feel the change is a good one, though discussion of something that has already happened seems like arguing about the sun coming up.

The issue of some here complaining about not having advance notice is valid. It's hard that you decided to go one route and then rules suddenly changed in a whim.

Personal example based on experience. The season the overextention tax came to play was the season I decided to sell of all the players I trained and tried to buy expensive players even if I was going to have a negative balance all season long. I trashed my team before the beginning of the season and redid my entire roster but when the season updates were posted suddenly the overextention tax was announced. I'm not complaining about that feature because I'm the type who likes to train players but a simple heads up in advance would have been nice.

The overextension tax was hinted at in an official post. Nobody knew exactly how it was going to be implemented, but they did say they were going to do something.

Obviously some advance notice would have been nice in this case too, but the problem isn't widespread...except for Poland where the top 3 teams have about 50 players on the TL they bought last week. They bought last week because they trade in young players. Young players don't have a very high cost of carry since their salaries are low. They are big boys, the extra salary is minimal compared to their 820-860k rosters and they'll still make a profit from the trades: I think they can live with this.

Something to keep in mind of course is how few players I have sold
that keeps the Pct up as we all know
This stat is also key for this pct:
- You have sold 5 players in the past 14 weeks

If I had sold 20 players, the numbers would look a lot different

Isn't the main purpose to stop people buying for 10k and selling for 300k? Would it really bother anyone if I bought for 100k and sold for 110k? Why not just tax the profit instead of the whole sale
