I was in a league once where their free agency was the single greatest idea I had ever seen.
Of course, it was with FPS:BBPRO98 and the developer of the game was in the league and the staff that made the game.
They called it "The Roulette Vault" or something like that.
It was brilliant. Simple, easy to understand. Had to do with the stock market and protecting a couple players in The Vault and then having to expose 10 others. 2 days were run of Free Agency and the ending number of the stock market was the number everybody got dropped in to a pool that had a player in that 'slot'. Then, a draft was held with the worst team getting the first pick. 2 rounds. Takes care of financials and free agency all in one swoop. I mean it simulates it pretty good to be so simple an idea.
It was fabulous and everybody in the league loved it. I think it was copied by 20 or so leagues the commissioner said.
I think the league closed though.
I quit because all that was in it was like game reviewers and game developers and stuff and you couldn't win against those guys. I just didn't have the time they did to put in to it to be competitive.
