Pete probably built this incentive on purpose to reward more successful managers, not sure why that needs to be changed. Those who win more than me make more money and those who win less than me make less, I really don't think there's anything wrong with that. More parity also means a greater luck factor, if I wanted to play a game based on luck I would buy lottery tickets.


You should change this complete sport. (#Colts)

really appreciate your machiavellian approach to the forum, even though I'm on the other side of this argument. reminds me of a younger Buddy

As there is talk about a cap in this thread:

Imo, a cap would not change much, if any
The managers who now manage their teams close to their budget and get the most talent out their current budget, would get the best talent out of their capped budget, why should that change?

successful teams will earn more money than they do now as they cannot spent it on players and would use that extra cash to buy the best available players.


why I consider a cap a good solution: it takes the huge accumulated fortunes out of the game, without taking the cash actually away from the managers bank accounts (which will never happen).

sure, teams who manage their rosters and finances well now will continue to be successfull, but thats also the point of the game. a cap stops the ability to just train up all skills to 50 and "buy" a competitive team that way, without actually managing the team well. (though "good managing" is also a very subjective perception, I'd not wanna be the judge of that...)

on the other hand I'm not sure a change in income structure alone would change the massive disparities between bank accounts that are already loaded and the rest of us poor poor fellas

but this is mostly hypothetical now anyway I guess, I dont see any good teams that just ride a huge bank account to be honest...

Why else (despite for fame) we should head for the playoff spots if not for getting $ bonus out of it.

Maybe trying things and be successful ? Just like some challenges.
You know, the playoffs are merely some more games in a season

And remember the draft position PO teams gain (disadventage enough imo).

I think you're right when you say no PO means an advantage in the draft.

I did not notice someone was afraid of game-ending injuries.
I've read things where some of us believe game-ending injuries should go along with more options.

Add Second string option (at least for some positions) - REFUSED
Then, next step is awaiting. Let's go !

Exactly, one step after another, first give us the options to change things and then add complications.

It all began a long time ago :

"But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified (...)
(...) he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out,
‘Lord, save me!’"
