If you can nto tell the difference between a new owner on a poo poo team and and an owner with 20 seasons under their belt behaving the same way I do not knwo what to tell you. You have experience and can lose with grace. Someone tell WIS to add reverse drafts to the first round, 1st player to miss the playoffs drafts first. HBD becomes way way better.

Yea if they do not suspend the 4m level for a season or two is stupid, plus this fucks people who are currently in contention with how they built their contracts. Also will you get only the stats for the years you control them? Or will you magically get all of their seasons the minute you trade for them? Love that this is done literally to force people to get advanced scouting, but I still wont because I don't even believe 20m advanced scouting. Also what does it mean to be fuzzier for scouting? That what you see wont always be true? If they make 20/20 mean even less accurate and see even less would be dumb.

My favorite part was some post where it was like some explanation and then a phrase like "Well I am done because MikeT is just going to argue with all of us" and the next post was MikeT ripping that post apart. If HBD/WIS want to fix there games, then hire game designers. Do not just let the community decide how to make/balance the game.

AlleyViper posted:Plus it's not like there hasn't been a ton of turnover for us, our teams barely resemble the ones from the last time we were both in the WS (heck, you have three of jeff's five best players from that season). This actually hurts your argument, you guys keep rebuilding and staying competitive while no one else comes into the lime light. You don't age and have to rebuild you stay competitive. Your contention cycles do not break because people keep giving up and have to do a full rebuild where they trade their better talent for pennies on the dollar to get really bad so they can maybe one day compete. I did this as well. That is why this world is not competitive. It has nothing to do with how many teams are good or bad right now, but how they were built. Most teams were built through deep tank jobs and the rebuilds are huge tank jobs where they wont even sniff 60 wins let alone 70. That means this world is not balanced. It does not matter that as dryb's powerhouse fell mine rose again. Or as devo rebuilds, tanktank comes up to take his place. It is how these teams rebuild and the fact that to "compete" in the rebuild devo has to aim for 55 wins so he sells his better aging talent for pennies to the few powerhouses. The few owners at the top like Jeff and AV are good enough to keep rebuilding on the fly and never have a down year. It does not help when people keep trading them good talent for the crap in the minors and say "It is better than the comp talent!" it still unbalances the world. That player should hit FA but they won't. If we let players hit FA like they should the talent would be more spread out. I say this as one of the few teams holding all the good talent. But my 5th loving starter would be most teams aces, this world is not balanced. It is hilarious to hear you say that. Jeff has been a participant of 6 of the last 9 world series. AV has been a participant of 7 of the last 8 or something like that. That is not balance, even if some of that is random playoff crap.

If we want to fix this world we need to boot people like Art or Me when they win only 50 games for 2 seasons and field a ML team of all Rule 5 guys. We also need to stop trading our vets when we rebuild for crap but just keep them and let our teams age gracefully, while that happens we can still compete for top picks because the worst team won 65 game not 51.

oh sorry it was 5 of 6 not 7 of 8. Not really that big of a difference. My main issue is that in Mordecai huge trades where big big guys get moved almost never happens outside of this season with Nasboat blowing up his whole team where as this common for Dimagiio. It is just not as fun when superstars move around teams like backend player do in real life. Can you please stop acting like you are in the same boat as Gyro, Devo, or some of the other players you named. Yes I could move my vets for younger players but A I do not have the time to and B I like the idea of keeping a core of dudes together and watching it grow/contend/age and not just hot swapping players every season. I may try and trade some of my pitchers in their walk years or I may not. Allow me to be frustrated that despite my team being way better than Jeff, he seems to beat me and gets bailed out and picks up talent for crap. Like I traded him in our mega deal with Hanson a really bad contract that I tried to move that whole season. The minute he gets someone offers to trade him a useful player for that deal straight up. Is it something I do wrong?? Why does me advertising a player get ignored, but Jeff can deal him right away? Its just frustrating that it seems to be easy to create a team for contention, but to constantly keep it there takes a lot of work. That is why I was talking about being burned out, I am sick of hoping someone gives me talent for cheap in a deal or trying to find somone dumb enough to trade youth for my vets. There is almost zero reason to trade youth for vets in this game. So just let me vent and stop acting like you are in the same boat as me. I am frustrated in Mordecai as well. My team has been bounced in those playoffs as well for many years despite being on paper probably the best team. Maybe I don't optimize my lineups as well as you or Jeff do but thats where the burnout factor comes in again. I want to cut back to 1 world and I think that is going to be Mordecai.

EvilBeard posted:I think the biggest issue is the playoffs being such a huge crapshoot. Clearly you had the better team. Lots of playoff series are won by the "inferior" team. It actually turns out that this time, Jeff was the luckier team that wasn't as talent. Most of the other years, he overcame the RNG with superior talent. This time, he was better at rolling die. Yea I get that and its frustrating.

Are we going to wait for the new changes to take effect before we roll, or are we going to start as fast as possible? You say this like we have any control over when we roll. We roll 3 days after the WS ends.
