And I dont care what anyone says, Most (not all) teams at high levels already manipulated this system and it wont effect them anyways now. This just protects those that already manipulated the system at the top to insure they stay there now. Way to take care of your Bro's in tho WL and Pro's IMO.



And that's the only negative to this I see. The changes NEEDED to be made--and made several seasons back. I'm not sure what can be done about those who've already profitted from the previous set of lax rules.

SNAFU!!!!

Why would we expect anything else. Basically with this move you are ensuring that people at the top will have a harder time recruiting. Gutting an older team becomes pointless. You get nothing. So if your teams tight roster with a set of proven agents get nothing for their work and time at the upper levels. So it is better to hang around recruit outside your network creating a lot more teams looking for the few good unaffiliated agents.

Most teams who gut hit the reset button with the same group of agents or handpicked agents drop down and rebuild. As a team owner you are rewarded because you have played the game longer. You have paid non-returnable flex for X number of years you should get some benefit from this effort and to be honest payment into Borts pocket in real $$$$.

IMHO taking the money and the stadium is too much. Take one or the other not both. People who have played this game as an owner for 10+ seasons deserve better than this system.

This is also going to promote farm teams at the AA level. This is were everyone will send their gut jobs. They will work backwards from there.

-1,000,000 on this concept.

I'm either going to quit ownership all together or stay put in AAA (maybe drop back to AA). If recruiting doesn't get any better because of the dearth of teams, then it will be the former. This game expanded too much and it needs to contract the number of conferences or drop a couple leagues.

Starting over is not a very sporting proposition if the recruiting problems are not going get vastly better. I didn't build a complete stadium in four seasons, just to demote for a "fresh start" with no players and a bare bones stadium.

Yeah... my AAA team has over $60M in the bank. What's your point?

I have been an owner for 11 season and think this is a great addition and quite frankly if I decided to pull the plug and start over this rule change would have very little influence on my decision.

You can still build up massive cash reserves if you do it right.

+1 people don't work hard and spend the money to build their stadiums just to be told oh you're rebuilding your team? Might as well rebuild the stadium too.

My only comment with this is that it should apply to EVERY team currently in the cloud. There will be teams that try and game the system by treading water while building up a cash stockpile (or they already have one) that will make it unfair to teams trying to rise up.

When you "start over" at the game of Monopoly, one doesn't get to keep the properties, houses, and hotels one had in the previous game of Monopoly. If you want to "start over", then START OVER.

Actually it should apply to every team period

Set a value for AA-AAA-Pro-World League then take excess funds
