MKnight82 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think less is more with all of these rules. The thing is going to get so complex it’s hard to follow what is allowed and what isn’t. I also don’t understand why rules are made to force people to act in a certain way when those rules don’t exist IRL. If someone wants to go nuts with restructures who cares? Saying that is unrealistic or whatever is silly, this is a mock off-season the whole thing is unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time to update each transaction that is made, this has to be taken into consideration too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to create cap space regardless of the made up rules. Teams have been making some very unrealistic cuts so far because they aren’t allowed to restructure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I like the 30% rule. Prevents people from cheesing it by putting absurd cap hits that put their teams in cap hell in the future to get a great offseason in the only year we're mocking. It actually screws over my team because the Titans start in the red this year, but in 2024 have like 110 mil in cap space, so we realistically would be back loading the hell out of contracts, but you need something like that in these things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 There needs to be some balance with a 1 year mock on how teams can operate in FA. Several years back, Nate Solder ( I think) got around $36M average on a 5ish year contract. Allowing teams to backload a contract when they won't face any consequences in 3-4 years is what the 30% year increase is for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny92mike Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 @downundermike asked about this, so I'm going to add it here to get your opinions on this as we've looked into doing this in the past, it just never got figured out. The idea of bidding on a player and if not being awarded that player we have a backup player that gets inserted in place of the outbid player for the same FA bidding round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the discount rate punishes people for backloading contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That takes away the strategy of FA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 To make this more fun you need more people participating. To get more people to participate you need to simply and streamline this thing. You don’t need more rules you need less rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
