I guess the thing that worries me is that it's sort of a catch all. Catching cheaters is good, but what if like in my desperate team scenario, or the previous poster's unique player scenario, a player sells outside the usual range by like 25-50%? You report it, it's clean so you don't get in trouble, but you still get the adjustment because the price isn't in the range?

It's another one of those "IF" situations. Having 7 passing vs 10 passing on a C does not raise the price 3 mil. Believe me. The price range is given for a bunch of players having different secondary skills. Some of them sell on the upper limit of the transfer estimate, others sell near the lower limit. None of them are worth twise the max estimate.


Having 10 passing on a Center does raise the price substantially - if he has handling too (which you would assume at least 5-6 based on the passing training then if the rest of the skills fit a 4mil triple tremendous IS/ID/RB guy with a bit more upside due to potential could quite easily fetch 6-6.5mil and if you are interested and a direct rival of yours is bidding then this is another reason why it would not be uncommon to see players going above TPE's.... if you are entering the playoffs and banking on signing a guy and your closest rival appears on the current winning bid, do you even consider the TPE or how much over you are prepared to pay?

You are going to that, if this, if that. You want to tell me that you are 24/7 online and scout every player on the market to catch your rival bidding. Perhaps he bids in that 3 min range and wins quite fast. Sometimes there are bidwars but they never go to 5mil on a 2 mil max ranged player. The triple tremendous guy does not sell for 2 mil. Those guys come on the market with no suggested price range, as those players are seldom on the market.
Training 3 passing will not net you more money. Training IS/RB/ID instead of passing "might" get you into a different pricerange.

So it's a situation of "IF".

Come on guys.
Its a free market as long as there is no cheating of money transfer,
Its our right to buy player cheap and then resale it.

Day trader is hard work and the profit is not worth the effort and the overall peanlty

On the other hand, is there responsibility for the buyer to check out the market (or the players history) to know that that same player has been sold within a day at much lower deal?

I said there are many impatiant, unsmart, poor buyer that allow the smart, hardworking, cash handy day trader to profit.

'free market' is influenced by a lot of things. I think some of the suggestions are simply to make training and winning games a skill that can garner equivalent results to training (it makes it more realistic of a basketball league as well as it seems that's what BB is going for). One thing that might help is to take out the highlighted player in the overview... this is from a newb who spent 2/3rds of his starting cash on a useless player because I didn't know anything better. Or potentially not allow the first purchase of a new manager to be for more than half their starting funds... that will reduce some profits from day trading, and reduce the regret from the new managers a week later when they find out they spent 200k on a 30k player.

I think a better suggestion would be to not allow players that have been playing for less than 2 or 3 weeks to bid more on a player than the transfer estimate (the higher amount). So if a player is worth (according to recent transfers) 50k to 100k, then a newbie would not be able to bid more than 100k (and hence perhaps waste his/her money). This would also reduce cheating somewhat (perhaps) as players would have to have their cheating account for multiple weeks before being able to overbid on a player.

I recently paid about 1 million above the TPE for a center just because of several uncommonly high outside skills. Maybe you wouldn't pay that price, but I would because I am well aware that having players with well-rounded skills is more valuable to my team than having a guy who is legendary in inside shot and atrocious in passing and handling.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
