Currently, the duration of the Transfer Listing is 3 days.
Why not have a choice of Transfer Listing durations :- 24 hours , 48 hours or 72 hours. When you list your player, the default would be 72 hours .... but you would have the chance to set it to 24 hrs or 48hrs if you wanted to. I suspect that most people would still choose 72 hours ... their thought process would probably be 'the longer he's listed, the more money I'll get for him". But ... for example ... say that you're listing a Youth that you don't expect much money for, maybe you'd be prepared to list him for just 24 hours and accept that he might sell for less. |

Meh, probably to much trouble for what it would bring, the only reason this would be necessary in my opinion is if we had any limits on how many players we could have on the Transfer Market, but there are no limits so i don't see any reason to implement this. Wouldn't really add much, if any to RZA. |

The above post misses the point entirely. It's not about trying to circumvent a restriction that doesn't yet exist and probably never will.
One of the main reasons for the suggestion is to give managers more flexibility (in the TM and financially), and also to give managers more choices and more decisions to make. If a manager has an impending financial problem, they could choose to sell several players using the 24 hour listing to raise capital quickly. If a manager sees a desirable player on the TM (with a 72 hour listing), the manager could choose to go down the 24hr or 48hr route to sell one of his players (either to free up the roster space or to raise finance). If a manager sees a potentially good youth pull, but his YA is full, he could opt for a 24hr 'quick sale' to free up a place in the YA. For the deeper-thinkers out there ...consider these questions :- (1) Why is the current transfer listing 72 hours ? (2) Why is the current transfer listing fixed ? (i.e. just one duration and not a choice of durations) I don't necessarily know the answer to the above 2 questions, probably only Pete does .... but it's worth considering that just because something is the way it is now, it doesn't mean that (a) it has to always stay that way purely because of inertia (b) that it can't be improved by some lateral thinking. |

Oh i got your point the first time, just didn't felt the need to make a wall of text to explain why i don't think its an important option to have, and my opinion remains the same, still don't think its worth the time to code. If it's an "easy/quick" option to code, i say sure, if its not then i say no. Now may the "Deep-Thinkers" convulate around this subgect, i posted my opinion on the subgect, take it as it is. An opinion, like arseholes everyone as one.

RZA calls theirs SH8888
I actually like the idea a couple of times I have fired someone I probably could of sold to make space in my YA |

I'm sorry if you got less than three day to fix a money problem then you deserved to have to start over.
Considering you would get 3 warnings over 3 finale updates. means 2 weeks to fix the problem. So poor management deserved to fail. But I do like the idea of maybe a choice of 3 days to a 7 days on the market to have more time if they wanted it. I have to say a 3 day min is a must. To help prevent any cheating form users that have more than one accounts Last edited on 2012-08-02 18:40:09 by andrew2scott2 |

More managers have time to see a player and bid on him. More bidders = a fairer price = harder to cheat
A short bidding period makes it a bit more possible for two managers to arrange a trade....I list player A, you list Player B. I buy B and you buy A. If we list them about 3 hours after the last Tuesday games finish, we might only have to bid against a handful of dedicated on-line managers (I'm making the guess that's one of the periods with the least managers on-line.) Or we might agree to list them when Europe and USA are mostly sleeping, eliminating a lot of potential last-minute bidders. It's tough enough to check the TL every 2-3 days to be sure you don't miss someone. Not everyone wants to be required to be on-line daily to avoid missing a 24-hour player. Just my paranoid 2 cents.

Well this would make sorting the TM by bid deadline practically useless. Right now I can keep track of which free agent and which manager-listed-player I've checked out last so I know anyone that gets listed after them will show up after them on the TM. After being able to list for 1-2-3 days? Not so much.
