[quote=The Hitman"] When trading you have to realize that you're probably making the other team better. So if it's a "super team" then you have the option of not trading with that team.[/quote]
Dont agree, in any trade you will have one of two things happen. One of the traders gets the better of the trade or both get an equal improvement and/or benefit. But, that is where there are two "actual" players involved, not both sides being controlled by one player.
[quote=The Hitman"]No one here has an inherent advantage over anyone else. Any advantage gained is/was an advantage earned based on a competitive strategy and the determination to follow a predetermined plan[/quote]
Advantages gained include the use of "dummy" teams...multi accounts w different names, trades btw teams in one league where a favor is returned in another, just to name a couple. Agree that gameplanning, setting your rules, and overrides is a level playing field. Plus there is the advantage of having created a "Super Team" and being able to easily feed more top rated players into it with 2 or more high 1st rounders with 90+ defaults each draft.
[quote=The Hitman"]Possibly a league where there is no trading is in order? Of course this won't stop the whining about unfair "advantages" but it would be a partial solution.[/quote]
Classic example of taking a subject, in this case trading, and reducing it to an extreme to try and deride a potentially good suggestion. Trading, as has been stated by the vast majority on here, is a big and fun part of the game. Is this game a "simulation" or not? Trading is great!!! as long as it cannot be easily compromised by unethical or cheating methods, unfortunately it can be compromised and manipulated, fortunately not very often and can be spotted and reported. Best way to improve the game is to simply keep making it more of a simulation. Make the salary caps, contract re-negotiation, and team management simulate what the game is trying to simulate, the NFL. And yeah, I know there are those on here who say "this isnt a NFL simulation!!" ...... I say BS in caps, it is an NFL simulation. No, it will never be a completely accurate simulation, but it can get closer to it than any other pro football sim on the net. Its already at least over 2/3 of the way there, and congrats 10 X over to JDB for that effort and result. The last version of the game has increased the simulation, increasing the importance of contract re-neg, which is a step in the right direction as the majority of posts have supported to date.
