that's why there's forced demotion if you're not fielding a competitive team.

@scientist... don't talk about what you know nothing about without some due diligence to know the facts.

The reason for all the cpu's is the crappy recruiting opportunities. I've still got about 100 contract offers out there for active agent's players. Everyone wants to be on a championship team and they don't to go with a rebuilding team at the higher levels.

Last season I had 50 human players on the roster and we were in the second round of playoffs. Without a "farm system" to replenish the ranks, the end of season retirements and poor recruiting prospects meant I ended up releasing 22 players.

I did this while I thought about dumping the team or trying to rebuild.



Why are you blaming people for your inability to recruit? You should request to be demoted if you can't field a team ... BOTTOM LINE!

Now you will lose money. It shouldn't matter because you don't have a full team anyways. Even if you did it in good faith Bort can not pick and choose who to take money from. The rule is in place, its reasonable, now deal with it.

LEG SWEPT!


Team owners have an obligation to put forth the best team possible at ALL times. If you can not fulfill this obligation either sell the team or start over. No more tanking seasons at higher levels just to game the financial system.



+1 Just look over the Pro leagues and you get a VERY clear picture of who is doing it. Bort needs to take all their cash imo.


This goes back to retro active punishment though. If the admin wants to make a rule now and enforce it from this point forward...cool. But what's done is done and you can't punish someone for something that wasn't a rule before.

Boy you've got problems if you still have 100 offers out there.

You can have a farm team btw. You just can't make it a cash cow for your other team.

Why not? Its Borts game......just because their isn't a rule about something doesn't mean its ok to do. People are punished for "war crimes" retroactively all the time.

Like ITS, I would have not problems starting from scratch, in fact after reading those new rules I'm seriously considering doing it.

I've been playing for 9 seasons, I've had the team for 7 I think. We started from the ground up and made it as far as AA, almost AAA before myself and a good portion of the agents decided to start over. The plan was to slow build the first season, and then start season 15 at cap 14 and be competitive. With these new rules, coming at mid-season, we are completely screwed.

That said, I like them; I think they are incomplete tbh, and am now considering starting over to make the game exciting for myself again.

In all fairness, the rules on those war crimes are laid out before the crimes are committed.

I agree that it's pretty dumb to punish people retroactively when no hard rule was in place, but to say that they "can't" is even more lol.
