Plus, tournaments in OOTP20 will probably address all of your concerns. They'll be able to have roster limits. |

You see that you are designing a whole different mode of play here? It's a new universe, not just one league. |

I am against salary caps, segmented universes into FTP and pay leagues, or any other changes that would prevent me from challenging my teams against the very best. I can personally vouch that a FTP team can compete and win championships at least through the Diamond level, primarily through developing a strategic approach and executing it- platoon lineups, ballpark factors, pitching staff make-up, paying attention to defense at key positions, etc. Why would I want to be forced to compete against a lower level of competition than I have currently have success with? Beating a money team with your well-managed FTP team is tremendously satisfying. The argument that you cannot win without spending money comes up thread after thread, despite dozens of posts from FTP players sharing their own success stories. There is a difference between something being easy and something being possible. |

I am excited about the tournaments and think they will be very fun. I am not so much "concerned" about the idea of a salary cap and all, so much as I would take it as another kind of challenge within the game and I think it would have potential to generate extra revenue for OOTP and grow the game as well. |

I can certainly understand that. I am where you want to get. (Just maybe not as old) I am very fortunate that money or time is not a problem for me. I have plenty of both and thank God and my wife for letting me enjoy it..😁

I just wish there was a way to promote without harming a team. In 2 recent consecutive seasons with minimal roster changes, I made 2115 points in Perfect and 11430 at Diamond. Though the sample sizes are obviously small, those totals have been fairly representative of the points I've earned via achievements in both levels on a consistent basis. Promoting to Perfect was the worst possible thing to happen to my team's ability to improve itself.
I can live with being non-competitive. I can live with the losses that pile up like sand dunes and snow drifts. However, few things are more demoralizing than seeing the path to improvement close in front of your eyes, all because your mediocre team got lucky one level down and somehow isn't lucky enough to get relegated back there... 4 seasons stuck in Perfect when my "lucky" team couldn't even consistently compete at Diamond hurt. A lot.

I think it was a mistake basing promotions on playoff results. There is just too much randomness in a short series, so you have wild card teams winning 85 games getting promoted to places they don't belong. Then being stuck in that awkward position where you know you can't compete, but also that tanking is not allowed. That's how players lose interest.
On the flip side, it also keeps whales down in lower leagues longer than they belong. Leading to a lot of complaints about whales in bronze/silver leagues. I'd be in favor of basing the promotions/relegations on regular season record alone, or even something closer to true talent level - Pythagorean record.

Agree 100% as a team (233-91) who lost the first 2 seasons to Wild Card teams.

It just seems after about 4-5 weeks in 20 there should very rarely be a point with multiple whale teams in the same lower league. |
