Allow CPU teams in human leagues to be purchased once the leagues are set. Would allow for more players to play for active owners and makes leagues more competitive.

Maybe offer a discount to someone who is willing to purchase mid-season?

I agree but they seem pretty adamant about teams only buying into freshman teams.

I wouldn't mind allowing an owner to purchase a team as a "one and done" though with a boost to player chemistry to off-set the otherwise early chem beating you'd take.

Purchasing Midseason seems like a bad idea to me for how this game works. There are human players on those CPU teams and a guy could roll in and just start axing people left and right for his own guys. I know it isn't ideal to have a CPU team in a league so I fully support the option to take over a team in the offseason, but mid season puts together too many complications both with league stats/standings and guys getting screwed over.

You can get CPU contracts on a daily basis, I don't see an issue with axing other players... If a guy is on a CPU team in a human-based league, he's likely to have MAYBE 1 win anyways. This actually lets them get a new team that could actually be doing ok (in a CPU league)

I like the idea. I would have loved to purchase a team during the middle of last season...

It only takes a mid day purchase and ax to screw up a persons season. That is the point. And a midseason purchase screws up the league in general as well as not everyone will have faced the same team. Would you like the idea if your guy was on a team and right before the game that day I bought said team and cut you? I would bet you wouldn't be too happy about that.

I understand what your saying and what both sides of the discussion is. What if you could have it both ways?

What if you could disable the ability to axe a player until the end of the season unless they are inactive or it's a CPU player?

That way the new owner can still bring in some new players to help win a game or two and get a foothold on the team itself? Then after the season is over they can have full control of the roster?

Still screwing with the integrity of the league. But I'd be far more for that idea.
