I paste here a pm wrote to Pete last night.
Any comment is welcome. Peter, I like your point of view, this is the same I've with the games. But american football is a sport in which the best team, except tactical errors, wins. And AF has other two fundamental points: the parity and the competivity. No one of those are present on RZA: the transfermarket is a soccer's distinctive tract, the playbook don't count if you encounter a team that plays MOTY (BTW: did you know any AF team that does not plays in this way ANY playoff game?), or when a dice says you have to loose. When I think at RZA I'm frustrated about a nice game that can be a great game, but that threatens to become only one of the thousand managerial on the net. AF has a spirit, AF is different from any other sport: the draft should be the very source of talents and can not be restricted at 3 only choices; the market should not be based on money, but on draft choices; the roster should be regulated by a salary cap determined from the level reached by the teams, and not from a bid war; the money should be useful only for a better stadium or for better facilities, at most for better coaches. That's all, Pete. I understand that my advice would involve a radical change of the game, but in my opinion that's the only way to mantain the NFL spirit in a game like RZA. I hope you don't miss the occasion, I hope to see the NFL spirit from the next season, even if it should be postponed for a couple of weeks. |

I hope you don't miss the occasion, I hope to see the NFL spirit from the next season, even if it should be postponed for a couple of weeks. 1- A great playbook makes you win even with a worst team than your opponent... You have many leverages to defy the odds... 2- I'm found of MOTY (personnally) because it's a strategic weapon that you have to play wisely and it allows some changes in winners as some teams are right now the teams to beat... 3- 3 draftees a year are enough because we have the YP... However, I think that the youths are maybe not good enough to become real top players... But not sure right now about that... 4- Salary Cap has nothing to do with bid wars and if there is no TM, players would be more frustrated than now as you won't improve your teams fast enough! The salary cap will be normally on when teams will have top players and salaries won't be affordable... OK, we're quite far from it but it was tested by Peter... 5- Prices seem high on TM but aren't so high when you compare with income from games... That's just shocking to see the value right now but no one speak about the ticket income we earn (which is also very high)... I understand your concerns but we're complaining on an economy whereas we don't know where we heading... You can buy less good players in quantity and build a more balanced teams... That's only a strategy... So far, it doesn't seems that draftees have made such a difference for winning teams... |

first: what is AF?
Second: there will be some kind of salary cap when managers got players with high skills, cant pay more then you earn. Third: this MOTY is great cuz becourse of that "worse" teams can reach high in playoffs.. Last edited on 2012-02-08 17:48:00 by KingOfTh3Hil |

Also, in my eyes, the draft is a thing where you get your superstars to build around, ant they are in no way players that will cover every position that is needed on a team.
The rest that is needed is taken from YA or transfear-market. These players isent supposed to be that good as draftees. Just coverups on positions that you had not chosen for a draftee. When our coaches finally have reached high in experience, they will cost alot aswell. I got to pay around 1.5 million every u p d a t e just for my coaches..  |

the transfermarket is a soccer's distinctive tract, I think no. There are Free Agents and player trades in the NFL. The difference is, that in the NFL this is restricted to a "short" period. panoramix wrote:the playbook don't count if you encounter a team that plays MOTY (BTW: did you know any AF team that does not plays in this way ANY playoff game?), or when a dice says you have to loose.
In this game the team which played MOTY lost. So with better players and a good tactic you could win against such opponents. I know some teams in the NFL that didn't played MOTY in the playoffs and lost. (e.g Saints vs. Seahawks 2010) panoramix wrote:the draft should be the very source of talents and can not be restricted at 3 only choices; the market should not be based on money, but on draft choices; the roster should be regulated by a salary cap determined from the level reached by the teams, and not from a bid war; the money should be useful only for a better stadium or for better facilities, at most for better coaches.
3 draft choices are enough. Why should you train players in the YA, when you can get better ones in the draft? Trading with draftpicks could be a better way, but is more difficult. In the NFL rich teams don't spend their money only for facilities. Many teams have not an own stadium. Be not so negative, panoramix. The Game is only 4 month old and it will go his way and we all will have a lot of fun. If not, the admin will find a way to bring back the fun. |

From what I saw in Supercup, the teams in the Last 8 weren't those who invested heavily on TM this year... So having the best players isn't the only way of winning (even if it helps quite a bit
 ) |
