For the record, I like to trade, and I don't know anyone else who plays MFN.
I will consider offering (or accepting) a trade with any owner in these leagues, except one.
And the only thing I take into consideration regarding trades is "Do I think this trade will help me accomplish my goals with this team?".
I don't care how many star players or draft picks or cap space another team has, as we are all playing under the same rules.
It has been stated over and over again that changes have been made so that it will be harder to keep star players AND a lot of cap space, but that those changes will take time before you start seeing a noticeable effect. Yet people still complain about this issue as if nothing has been done. As if all of a sudden we should log in one day to find out everyone's cap space has been cut by $30 million or the good players all of sudden have much higher contracts.
I agree with most of what you are saying. We are cheating the system till then.
But how about those rookies in 75. Our cap is what 120 mil ? , and all i know its lower than MFN 1's cap yet the rookie have the similar salary demands. What?
I could go on and on with little loop holes or follow suit and pretend its perfect. I am still on the fence, and do not want to wait another six seasons to see what i already see now.
I already did that, and it has gotten me this far by complaining. Slow IMO, but plenty acceptable in this genre. Fast if anything, because of open forums and how well info is shared. Moderated.
The biggy is to go slighty away from nfl models for draft rating and salary. Or make more busts happen, cause we have less. There only so many ways to go to create parity to even match trades, much less outcomes, because this game has different values for players to win.
Were close in general. That is why it good and fun to play. Closer is funner and so is less busts and injuries. There is a competitive balance than can be created by matching this game with a system of values that translates this slighty adjusted effect safety and security.
Just using words alone it sounds better to strengthen some other part if one part is lacking. Statically i will develop a model slighty adjusted from the NFLs and submit in the suggestion box once i get time to hone in on it. To me that is the root problem, and i will try to prove it with numbers.
