I agree don't change too much. The truth is we all the same opportunities as we learn the game just like in real life some gm always put good teams together year after year. Now if someone seems to be getting advantages that other are not then yes questions could be brought forward but I have not seen any signs of this yet. I hope that any changes are made are minor because anything else would require learning all over because it could change the game too much.

Well I'd hope we could set the DC, put people on the inactive list, in that new type of custom league, and set weights. The rest I could definitely get behind.

Some sort of announcement would be good as well, rather than having the league appear one day and hoping to perhaps see it before it gets started.

That Roll_tide account is a real "rotten egg". I was just looking at another one, redman4121, who is in the same league, Cust 14. Here's one for the books... when I clicked on his username, I was shocked to see that he was in so many leagues current, plus the ones he was in before. All were ongoing losers following the same pattern as blackfly mentioned in the quoted post. Also, this team/account had been used to bid on Free Agents to drive up the price, w/o winning any of the bids. So, was trying to look at the redman4121 history in other leagues when I got the "page is not loading" error. After about 10 min, I click on redman4121 and now he has only the one team in L 14 !! Either somone is hackin the site, the account was cleaned up by admin, or ??? You would think that someone who has 10 or more teams really enjoys playing this game, makes trades over the first 2 or 3 seasons or more, other than dumping their 1st rounders right away, coincidentally to league leading, dominant teams. Either that, or maybe thats all they like to do, right? Pick up a team, trade off the first rounders, and then see how good the team does with AI running it, and occasionally jump in and make bids on FA's that they have no intention of getting. Sounds reasonable, right? LOL, if anyone thinks so, I gotta bridge.....

No, we dont all have the same opportunities here, some have more opportunities than others as a result of bogus accounts used specifically to trade number one picks for "busts" or players that are high rated on the trade meter, but not as potentially impactful as a first rounder. As long as the Round 1 picks are valued where they are on the trade meter, under 1000, then this will continue. All of the round picks, especially 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounders are valued way less than their true worth. As long as that is the case, abuse is gonna happen. Dont change the game too much?? Are you taking advantage of these trades with bogus accounts? cuz if you arent, good luck trying to compete with the team(s) in your league that are. "I have not seen any signs of this yet"... really? Where have you been looking? The accounts used for this purpose are usually current in 10-20 leagues. So, if you would prefer to keep things the way they are, and you want to have an equal chance to win a league championship, I would strongly suggest you figure out how to trade with one or more of the bogus accounts. Oh, you can win a championship w/o doing that, but its very hard to do vs a good player that is taking advantage of that. How about bidding on a good FA? Dont be surprised if all of a sudden, out of nowhere, there's a bid from that bogus account, driving up the price for that FA. Im not complainin or whining here, just posting what Ive observed so far. And several accounts have been recently removed as a result, which is a step in the right direction and cudos to the admin for doing so. Overall, I prefer an honest game, where we all have the same opportunity to win or lose, without any unfair advantages. For all intents and purposes, its very unlikely to have that with an online internet game, of any kind. There will always be those who have a need to wreck and ruin other people's fun and enjoyment, or need to win no matter whether or not it is done by playing fair and honest. Who are they going to brag to about it? themselves? lol But, they still do it.
