Most things have just been sprung on us as a surprise. Salary floor, 5th and 8th not paying salaries, corss training, free agents. When has there ever been a whole season to "prepare"? In fact this time there is more notice than ever before. There is already a mechanisim in place with the salary floor. All needs to be done is just change the numbers in the formula.

I was under the impression that if they decided to make a change to prevent tanking (which depending on the change I'd most likely disagree with) it would be announced during the offseason and then actually put into place between season 21 and 22 so that every team has a full season to prepare...

to be honest, if they make something which don't effect normal team tankers got warned at start of this season, and i don't think that tanking need that much preparation and planning. It is simply going outof competion dumping the most expensive players. I don't think i need to prepare one season for it, to make it.

question is, how you need to prepare for it?

and well frankly, I think I will quit.

Ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?

awesome post!

all they need 2 do is say we r raising salary floor - easy
we r buffing the 2/3 zone or weakening LI - easy
we r switching off free agents for a time or changing the formula so they list @ 15 x salary - easy
we r tweaking the mediam standard of draft picks - easy
we r moving back the playoff eligibility deadline 2 weeks - easy

it is sooooooo easy & would really change the mood here

its like the titanic we all know the iceberg is right ahead but the captain refuses 2 change direction

what we need is a higher aveage potential of players, right now it's a bunch of those 6th men and below junk........I say if the BBs raise the average drafted to about star-allstar, then the draft would be much better, also giving more of those will then want so many people wanting to train them. This last draft I got a allstar, but he had too many holes in which once he got injured I sacked him...........I mean he had 1800 salary, in which if BBs raise average All-Star potential salary to about 3000 then it'd b much better.......other than that I think BBs should scrap away those announcers and 6th Men Benchwarmers etc. cause in BB they only do good in D5 inactive/bot and D6. Cause look.........

In D1 average potential MVP is there (although Allstars and perrenial allstars well trained could make good 6th Men, but I'm talking starters, not whole team)
In D2 average potential SUPERSTAR-MVP is there
in D3 average potential is SUPERSTAR
In D4 average potential is P. ALLSTAR
In D5 average potential is ALLSTAR+ varies depending in activity (in my league average is allstar, but next season that could go higher cause in my GRT 8, 7-8 teams are active.......
