Poll:  Do you like the s37 news and if so which announcement do you like best?

I'm not sure how the new promotion system is not the same as the Utopia system. Is it because of a division ranking vs conference position criteria for bot promoted teams?

Wouldn't it be better just to change the whole playoff-relegation format so that promotion is is based on the ko games? The thinking would be that 8 teams play the playoffs (and relegation) but seeding is done across conferences. The 2 guys getting in the Finals are going up and the losing team will get a smaller bonus.

Also no changes to the Prize money to account for more promotions?

And the new promotion system seems horrible to me.

I think the weak point of the promotion system is that whoever gets the best record automatically promotes.

I don't mind two teams going up, though I don't like it. But having different rules for the two promoted teams is a very silly idea. I really have doubts about the people making decisions here because a lot of them are just silly. The only sensible way for two teams to promote is if its the two teams in the final. Either promote the top two regular season teams and do away with the playoffs (I'm kidding, that's a horrible idea) or promote the two finalists.

I simply can't comment on the salary changes because I'm too disappointed about being misled by the reason for it, which has been lost with the changes to the formulae for big men.

First, I like how many changes they are making. Not just 1 or sitting on their hands altogether.

Second, the link the the BB final game doesn't work in the news post.

Thought a slight adjustment to salary for secondaries was fair, not a fan of seeing a stronger adjustment coming next year. I may have wasted the last 3 seasons training secondaries trying to build bigs for my princeton/patient team that could defend against LI.

And really not a fan of the promotion rules, or the boycott. The way I build a team is to build from the ground up, compete for a couple seasons, sell off and 'trust the process'. I liked the ability to compete for a few seasons, then focus on training for a few seasons. Now it seems like you have to be perpetually competing, and have made it really difficult to build up assets. I think that will just hinder younger teams, and discourage folks for risking it to go for it all because building back up will take so long.

Overall, I'm not sure whether the way I enjoy playing the game is in line with BB thinks it should be played. Fortunately I have some assets built up, so I'll have a chance to take another shot at BBB before considering whether to stick around.
