I didn't mean BB should actully set the price of the player.


I understand that.

It's not feasible to do anything like that with the myriad of available skills.

HT is more feasible with the limited amount of skills relevant to a position.

I agree with that, and there is actually one more problem. The number of transfers in HT is way higher than in BB, therefore there is a lot easier to gather data for a fair comparison.

In essence, if it was possible to do a good "transfer compare" I would say it would be a fine addition, otherwise it would just create trouble.

A different way to do a rough, but still somewhat helpful comparison would be to create a metric that compares the amount of training needed to reach the skill a player has and compare him with similar players, then supply a confidence interval of an estimated price. (I am not saying that this would work, just that it could...)

It is a basketball game, and should be played as one.

Must set this in stone.

If three trades per day seem reasonable (without taxes/contracts/heavy effects on the team performance) then this is NOT a basketball simulator... is just a worst version of Hattrick (the are more limitation for massive trading there -_-') with "jump shot" instead of "scoring". What a shame, I thought it was different when I sign up five months ago.

Tough talk for a guy with 61 transfers. And there seems to be quite a bit of profit to be made in less than 3 trades a day:
Total Sales: $3957313
Total Purchases: $2506900
Transfer Balance: $1450413

I'm not singling you out here, but why not call for 3 transfers a month? A limit on the number of transfers in a season?

Any action taken to hamper trading will likely effect something else unforseen. There are plenty of more important things within BB to be fixed without worrying about where fools spend their money and how much they spend. A simple read through the bugs and suggestions forums prove that.

look at this guy for an example:

in his roster he's got 50 player... 50!!! and almost all of them are for sale...

EDIT: Removed de facto transfer ad.

You may want to delete the link as it may be seen as a transfer ad.

That guy doesn't seem to be very good at trading, though (which may explain the 50 players)
Total Sales: $786700
Total Purchases: $1326700
Transfer Balance: $-540000

Daytrading leads to price inflation.

I have played BB since July, so I don't think that 61 transfers make me a heavy daytrader... I don't want even blame people that make a pair of transactions in a week, but here are we talking about 20/30 transfers in a single week. Not quite the same situation, IMHO.
