I agree, but much like free speech, you are allowed to act in any way you choose, but don't be surprised if people react in the negative when you act like a tool. And believe me, I speak from experience. So much nicer these past 3 years actually discussing things with people, instead of fighting with them.

I have to side with Wolf on this one. That happened to Nolan Ryan long before multi-million dollar contracts. Any player hurt during an in-season water/snow skiing accident now would be forfeiting a ton of salary, which is enough reason for players to save that type of hobby for the offseason.
If the storyline was re-written to say that "Player X ignored a clause in his contract that prohibits skiing during the season and went on a ski trip during the all-star break and got hurt," that would be more believable. Or "Player X was hurt during an in-season ski trip and Team Y is exploring the possibility of voiding his contract." But a guy simply getting hurt skiing in July just doesn't make sense. |

Mark me down as someone who does enjoy the storylines. I like that I occasionally get a monkey wrench thrown into my plans. I don't have them happen that frequently to me team either. I have played 42 years this version and can only recall about 3 that directly negatively impacted my team.

Unless the player flew into a tree trunk at 45 mph and wound up in emergency surgery, you can bet your bottom dollar he would hobble his butt home and tell the team that he was "wrestling with his kids, twisted his knee and heard a pop" or something like that. Lots a goofy injuries in recent history where the explanation you hear from the player roughly translates to "oh crap, I think this excuse does not void the contract".

I'm perfectly okay with it happening in December. But in July?

Just to add the opinion of someone that does much more reading than posting, and has yet to offer anything on this subject, but will do so here in part because the request was made by part of the development team........ (ellipse use too old a habit to curtail now)
It seems to me that both the storyline supporters and detractors have it right. It's a good idea and one that I use and even enjoy more often than not. But it is a long way from perfect in its implementation. I recognize the ability to tailor or tweak the settings for solo leagues, but when playing on-line leagues which use the feature and don't care to make adjustments, the default settings that wind up infiltrating league play can be a little ridiculous at times. As stated, I'm glad that they exist and have no real problem with them. But I do think that those that are getting a little reactionary about some of the criticism might be better served by distancing themselves from the source of the criticism and whatever history or personality may be clouding the opinion and take some of the good in those criticisms as useful feedback. If enabling storylines is going to be a default setting, then most of the critique that I read here seems pretty fair. They are often outlandish, era inappropriate, or even downright unfathomable (guy tears his leg off jogging to first base on a ground out so he retires to play... soccer????). I happen to agree that they will be fantastic with some refinement and are still fun additions overall presently. I also happen to agree that perhaps they should be refined a bit more before becoming a default and much of this debate would be eliminated. |

I am continually upset by your overuse of periods. I am a person. Are you going to change to suit me?

I think the 'The Wolf' feature of this message board should be turned off. It produces many negative events with no possible positive events of equal probability or value.
