The rules are in the rules section.

It is not in the rules section. ALl the rules section says is that the fees are based on how many transfers in last 14 weeks and how long player has been on your team.
It DOES NOT say what the %s are. It doesnt say 20% penalty for new player on your team or 4% penatly for X number of transfers in last 14 weeks. It does not state X% for every X# of transfers per last 14 weeks.

Is this information listed anywhere or is it just another part of the system that favors veteran players over noobs.

There is a difference between taking the structure of a system and divising a system/strategy to beat it and being at the top of a game just because you've been playing longer than everyone else.

Anyway I'm hoping that stratigical methods of getting into competition wont be squashed out. IF this game is about whoever has been playing it the longest, that would suck.

Perhaps someone somewhere has done a study of just exactly what percentage you lose depending on exactly how many transfers you make in how many days. Those people who care enough to figure out exactly what the numbers are have done so through research and/or searching the forums. If it is not good enough for you to know that if you buy and sell lots of players in a short period of time, then my suggestion is to A) do some math search the forums or C) use the Help forums. You bought and/or sold 10 players yesterday alone. This is called daytrading and it is a practice that, while allowed, comes with some major penalties. I believe If you have read the rules you will find that the BB's give exact information for almost nothing. It is up to the user to figure things out. This is a big part of the enjoyment and interest of the game, using your brain instead of being spoon-fed instructions.

Certainly the game favors experienced players, like in real life. I have a feeling that the Lakers could take my nephew's 4th grade basketball team. It does not allow for instant meteoric rise to the top of the heap. You have to rise through the ranks. The competition around you should be of a similar skill level and age (in terms of the joining the game). Before they imposed the taxes and fees for daytrading the game was not about who had been here and built a team but who had played a stock market game with the TL. Enough people thought that that style of game sucked, so they changed things.

i think what we have here is a bit of a wrong attitude and for a new player you seem to be derailed and confused that makes you miss the point.

because if this game should start a new manager with everything like food being feed to you that all you need to do is open your mouth and receive your grace then your mistaken.

just like you i started in division 2 of my league, through which i have to give time for me to understand the game. i never concentrated on day trading, or how to make money. i started taking the task at hand of understanding what my team is
and how should i approach my problems.

you havent reach the idea that you can train players and sell them, or do you understand what tactics fit you the best, you just saw or feel oh my these people around me have rolex watches and all i have is citizen. since you want to have a rolex watch but as of now you cant so your blaming the economy for the salary structure and the tax system of the govt.

dont be like a baby that when you see something and you want it and mommy wont give it to you you just cry out loud! no offense mate! but think why things are like this or the system itself.

do what the thai guy tells you read the forums.

also dont be too realistic, do you think how much time will our developers will do to develop a free agent pool just for you to choose and sign. our day trading is this game free agent pool! :D

i would suggest asking your fellow japanese friends especially your division 1 guys, they will give you advice.

Hmm I kinda get your point.

Well it seems the day trading penatlies aren't too bad. I'm down to 74% now but still making money and able to have enough players probably to win most games....

Its fun for what its worth to run the market for the time being. I suppose it'll just be a few months of sludging before I'm ready to bring some A game to the big leagues. I'll trudge around leage 2 for a season or two.

I day traded last season and I am not proud of it but now my team is stable enough to whoop some teams.. After about 18 players I got down to 28% on a resale. ouch, that made me stop day trading.. peace

I can't believe day traders are finding there way into the Nippon leagues.....shame on you!

Whatever next... maybe they'll find a user in Germany with an arena that can hold more than 30,000 OR maybe we'll discover a farm team in Italy!!!

:D

You took the words out of my mouth, err, fingers. I was gonna say that he had better have a busload of A game, because the King of the Daytraders is the top team in Nippon...

Come on.. I got thrown into the top Div. and had to try and stay up.. got to do what you got to do... peace

Don't worry, Mister San is a rookie day trader.. I didn't buy anybody over 23 and nothing below a star.. He will learn... peace

im glad to hear this from you, thats the spirit.

i know its hard, but i dont know if the system is the same when i started because when i just had my team it wasnt super or should i say i dont have a star player on my lineup

but i do believe ( from my experience is ) if your given a team on division 2 that team is adequate enough to make you at least stay at div. 2

i concentrated on my players their strenght and weaknesses, where in i got couple of guards i can used, i was loaded with guards but none of them are complete players. i have to change tactics everytime and of course the starting lineups till i feel a good flow on my offense.

so i have to really do it one step at a time, analyzing what my team has and what best tactic i can use plus which things i need to compliment my team.

i remember buying a center who has rebound and ID and completely no offense and no free throws just because he is all i can afford. also i bought a guard that only has passing and handling and little defense but also no offense as a backup point guard again because he is all i can afford. imagine my frustration when every game this 2 plays and misses all their shots.

i even have to play my best offensive player which is a shooting guard at sf because i cant find anyone else to do it. and yes he is not getting trained :D

imagine i only learn to train players only at the end of my next season, imagine how i felt when i knew there was accelerated training process wherein i never benefited.

all this said mate, im just saying i know how you feel. but should we stop at this ?

i dont want you to make the same mistake i did when i started since i dont read much the forums :D
