Re: RELATIVE RATINGS: Bullshit or Just Deal With It?

Starting a 100% stats only league is my OOTP dream. I've accepted that I'm too lazy to run it, though.

Re: 2037-2038 Opt Out Decisions Part 3 - What Are They Asking For?

Most leagues that use a cap use AAV, not year X salary as the hit. MLB, while not having a cap, does the same (including signing bonuses) when assigning a number against the luxury threshold. To me, when you say that the cap is 110, it means you should be adhering to 110 dollars worth of intended pl...

Re: 2037-2038 Opt Out Decisions Part 3 - What Are They Asking For?

I never front or backload contracts and never try to lower AAV with incentives because, in my strong opinion, all of that is gaming the cap and against it's spirit. Until it's illegal then by definition it's legal, though - so the only thing standing in your way is what you think is right or wrong (...

Re: 2038, FA Sim #4 Chatter

I missed Caporoz by 300K, lol. At least I know my valuations are relatively on the mark (Duggan getting the exact same amount as Mendoza gives me that same warm fuzzy). And in the end I got my #1 and #2 targets in Mendoza and Duran - tough to complain about that.

Re: IMPORTANT! - OSA Scouting Reports Showing Pitcher Stuff Incorrectly

So is this in the in-game player page under the scouting reports tab only? The in-game player page and HTML Reports are still correct?

Re: 2038, Rule 5/Winter Mtgs/FA Sim #3 Chatter

Bottom line: GMs are either going to complain about shallow drafts or about their draft picks crashing. Exactly, you simply CANNOT have it both ways. I know I've said it before, but give me the deep drafts to get excited about 10 times out of 10. I remember the "lean years" where I was lucky to get...

Re: 2038, Rule 5/Winter Mtgs/FA Sim #3 Chatter

So if we're drafting 10-15 players per team per year who have ratings to play, the development engine needs to tear down 8-13 of them... You're forgetting scout finds, IFAs and random bumpers, too - all of which will take even more of those development "slots" from the draftees as well. I know peop...

But it says "organization." We may want to make a wording change to avoid further confusion.
The Brewster is an "organization", too. Just look at pro service - he's got 7 years.

Re: 2038, Rule 5/Winter Mtgs/FA Sim #3 Chatter

That said, I am glad that the IFA class sucks from a macro perspective. My memory might be foggy, but I remember there being a ton of guys last time around that would've been top 5-ish picks in the draft and that's not a healthy dichotomy for the league (basically giving the good/rich teams an equiv...
