I somehow managed to win a game 95-0 the other day. What's the biggest blowout you've seen on this site?

How does that happen?? Is it because the other team is in Super Tank Mode!!

Found that game. That owner shouldnt be allowed to play. In my opinion ...

* 30+ players on 1 year contract. and maybe 10 players I'd rank decent to good

* Majority of roster doesn't even crack 40 for a MAX rating.

* Over $100 million in salary cap space

I understand wanting to rebuild ,, and they have with an offensive line and QB ... but they could have better players and be more competitive.

+1

This game will never be what it could be when owners like this are allowed to remain as part of the game.

I would love to have a set of objective rules (read: automated) that can take action to reduce or limit this kind of behavior. I'm love to hear thoughts on what you think might be good rules, and what actions should be taken (i.e. maybe just the AI overtakes the team, or they are kicked out of the league, etc). They would have to be loose enough so that an owner is not accidentally punished because he makes a stupid move without any malicious intent, but strong enough that you can't skate the line intentionally.

Well you have the trade balance meter which can regulate most of it but there needs to be a free agency minimum or something. People should have a max amount of money under cap.

Just as we are discussing a champions league, players like this should be relegated to a minor league where they can learn the game against similarly skilled GMs. After they have demonstrated proficiency there, i.e., winning a championship or two, they can rise to the ranks of the proficient.
