--the MVP endorsement will no longer automatically be handed out to the player who finishes first. It will be a lottery type system similar to how in season endorsements are handed out between the players that finish in the top 5. It's weighted, the higher you finish the more likely it is you will get the endorsement.

Huh? What crybabies complained about MVP equipment to get this changed? I know there was one owner here that basically rigged his team so one of his own players would win the MVP every season but does one person spoiling it require a change to the whole system? This now makes the MVP award kinda pointless.

It was already, the calculation that went into determining the winner was wickedly flawed anyway, and MVP awards are often more subjective than a simple tallying of stats anyway.

Coach voting system in leagues or lottery makes it less flawed O_o

sure

but voting on an MVP ≠ randomly picking one

Fair enough...

Then take the top ten finalists and have a league poll...that would be fun thing for the offseason.

just don't number the #1 through #10 (or 5 if that's what it turned out to be).


Change the display screen to say:


Current MVP Candidates (in alphabetical order)
Aaron Apple
Bruce Boxer
Chris Carter
Dave Dimwit
Eric Ericson

Current MVP Bubble (in alphabetical order)
Frank Food
Greg Goo
Harry Hore
Jack Johnson
Kevin Kreary


That way - no one will ever know if the #1 ranked player - or the #5 got the MVP.

It's also quite a bit more like (gasp) the real world - since there is no set formula for determining the MVP in the real world

Or do a Offensive Player of the year for stat whores

Its better to have it done through an open voting process than through some obscure math equation that no one has any faith in. Better to let the people make a flawed decision than to let the machines make an even more flawed decision, IMO.

Which is my suggestion...

As long as everyone was honest that may work, but I would leave that vote up to owners only. Otherwise, I see major problems.

It was really the way it was originally supposed to be set up based on the original discussions.
