You know that in fact you´re talking to the one person here that runs every accout beside yours constantly switching between all the accounts so you don´t realize it´s only me in all different clothing all the time, do you?

Back to a question I kept asking over and over without ever getting an answer out of you:

Why don´t you simply propose players below age 22 cannot enter Free Agency? Wouldnt that pretty much solve all your problems?

I can answer that for you.. The NT beast would disappear...I see so many beast that get picked up and then the team goes bankrupt and then they go back into the bin so some other fool can pay their 500K salary until they go broke. and almost all NT player are over 22....so there is your answer.

The part of your post that I took exception to was your insinuation that GMs are abetting cheating because it benefits their own teams. Asinine means foolish, silly, or stupid. A perfect word choice, in my opinion.I didn't pay any attention to the rest of your post because of that comment, which I think was not only unfounded but rude and ill-spirited.

I like your counter-suggestion to some extent but think it would cause an even bigger market hiccup with everyone holding on to their cash until the off-season and in-season transfers slowing dramatically, especially for upper echelon players. I have been for eliminating free agents since about season 8, but the developers have decided to allow even more of them beginning next season.

@Wolph- If a team checks in, it is not a bot. How they choose to play the game is up to them. If it doesn't jibe with the way you think everyone should play the game, tough. This isn't a fascist realm in which we are playing. It is an imperfect place, to be sure, but regulating how someone chooses to play is bogus, in my opinion. If I choose to log in once a week, train PG skills for two seasons, and not worry about winning or losing, does that make my team unfair? You also have an inflated sense of what GMs are able to do. And I believe it was you who came down all snide and self-righteous on someone who asked about translation problems- telling them to join in or do it themselves or some such nonsense. You ought to practice what you preach, pal.

I have seen LI, PTB, and 3-2 zone all trumpeted as being too strong for the game at different times. Adapt your training or FA acquisitions to stop LI.

Did I ever say that you guys were allowing cheating in any way? No I did not....So your response to my post is ASININE...And YES, I know what the word means...Thanks for the definition....But really, come on man...re-read my post....My response stated that you guys don't have the resources or time to check the background of all F/A's and that you guys have every right to bid on these beast. Nobody really knows the difference between a farmed F/A and a legit team going bot F/A or even a team going bankrupt F/A..(I guess Wolph can or says he can)...The point of the original post was this....If GM's and BB's are bidding on a F/A, he must be legit right? You guys aren't cheaters or maybe there is no way to tell the difference. So I was responding to wolph by saying, if GM's and BB's can't tell the difference, then how can anybody else and that they aren't going to exclude some F/A's and allow others...It would be impossible to do....
Rude and ill-spirited....I can tell that you had a cup of coffee with Sharman recently...Hang out with snakes and people start to think you are a snake...:P

What you said was this,
"Now, during the bidding I saw many GM's BBs bidding on this free agent. Don't know who got him in the end but as long as you have GM's, BB's trying to better thier teams....These players won't be deleted.


If your original point was what you say, you did a poor job of conveying it. Instead, what you wrote suggests that BBs and GMs don't want to do anything because they benefit from allowing it. Using an ellipsis only heightened the effect. If you didn't mean what was insinuated in the highlighted sentence, okay. I apologize.

OK...re-reading it in bold...I can see how you came to that conclusion....But it didn't say you guys were turning a blind eye to cheating.....This is what I meant to say...

Something off subject.....do you think the NBA is going to lose the season because of the lock out? I hope not...I love Fantasy Basketball

Well, isnt that better for the game, if the "monsters" disappear out of NT competition because their teams go broke? I think that would be a serious upgrade if your claims of a cheater-rigged system are remotely true.

In addition, "most" salary monsters are well over 22, it´s not THAT easy to blow your team with an U-21 NT guy unless you are economically stupid, which - in your system of farm team cheating - most teams are not.
