I have been supporting that idea for a while. It would be so easy to implement whilst having such large of an impact.
Does your 11 day span accumulate to paying two additional salaries in comparison to now? I haven't checked that aginst the schedule. I think two additional salaries is great insofar as it balances the interests. You can still add or replace players late if you so choose. At the same time it discourages playoff tanking. Everyone doing so will have to think twice before paying 100k+ players for more weeks than just the playoffs.

Yes, the buying teams right at the deadline would pay for two weeks of regular season salary for the benefit of 3 regular season games, instead of one week of regular season salary for zero regular season games as they do now.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

I think it should be even further back. It would promote deeper benches and more strategy.

To me, the transfer deadline before the playoffs isn't the problem. The problem is that there is no CUP transfer deadline. This season and last, three teams had rosters over 1.2 million just in Japan. People find it easier to buy a CUP and a BB3 ticket. In fact one team added 700K of salary 2 hours before the cup final...that is just stupid. The Cup transfer deadline should be from the final 8.

I reckon the biggest problem is that players are just too cheap. It makes rent-a-player-for-temporary-gain too easy.

I play some other games where high quality players are expensive enough and these things just don't happen. And they're still fun!

I totally agree with the OP here.

I also totally agree with Axis123, $1k for a $100,000 C still in his 20s with good skills is just silly.

Then let's add this as well, and have a separate "cup eligibility". For instance, a player can only play a cup tie after the team has paid (at least) one of his salaries (maybe even 2?). This would at least prevent managers from buying those cheap monsters that go around and firing them before the financial update.

Sorry for the late response.
I love the suggestion - nothing more I can add. I would even make it more then 3 games if possible but some may say I am taking it too far.

I have one question regarding this issue - B3 has a TL, playoff as well (even though it's not enough) - why do we allow buying players right before the cup final?

I see many teams that get far in the cup quarter final and above just buy and sell players in order to win the cup. before the cup final you can see teams buying cheep monster 250K and above C and just play 3 big men look inside and kill the match...

I think it's very easy and straight forward to allow players that played prior to the quarter in you team to play in the Quarter - Semi and the Finals...

imho a online game should allow some dynamic, and yes some player buy strong player before important matches but the most transfers are normal one since people enjoy to build there roster.

I think reducing the oppertunity that user can interact with the game to much, would hurt it more then the few "bought" wins.

I get that but I still think that there's should be a line.
Again, maybe I am taking it to far. It doesn't have to be prior to the quarter finals. Setting a TL for the Semi final will work as well...

imho i prefer the GS approah, with a loss of 2 point of gs for a transfer. This limit the buying strategy, but would keep the game dynamic all the way. Cup deadlines would be ca bit complicated since there are different, and in small country even very early so that they have trouble to rebuild, and if the PO deadline is moved 2 weeks like proposed, you have 1/3 of the season consisting of a no transfer period.
