Obviously, sounds like a def problem. And for those of you who would like to see more "active" owners stay in this game, I would strongly suggest that you help to either fix the problem or the player if that person is doing something wrong.
On the subject of "Super Teams", L14 has become a wasteland of abandoned teams. This will most likely continue to happen if a few things are not at least brought into a "balance". Does anyone here who plays and invests a lot of their time in this game enjoy seeing one or more dominant teams in their league, coming off a 14, 15 win, or undefeated season, having 2 or 3 first round picks in the next draft? That is happening for two reasons. First, the trade meter values for 1,2,3, and 4 picks are ridiculously low. Second, there are a few that are on here 24/7 it seems. who are in several to multiple leagues, who have the knowledge & experience in player & pick valuation that gives them a distinct advantage over other players, both new and experienced. One prime example is in L14, look at the upcoming draft, the previous one, and so on. Result? Players drop out, abandon their teams, for several reasons including that they have no realistic chance of competing for a league championship. The problem with unbalanced trades and super team creation can be solved with more accurate valuation on the trade meter, especially on pick value. Or, if you have a seasonal "trader" for picks in your league with a dominant team, best of luck trying to catch up to them personnel-wise. Not the only problem or concern, just the one that stands out the most to me.
Its difficult enough as it is to compete with someone who spends their entire day and night on this game, or even 3 hours or more per day, and if you want more players to both join and stay, the problem of super teams having a super advantage for draft picks, free agent acquisition, maintaining low salaries for blue chip players, salary cap structure that is not even close to a simulation of professional football. needs to be dealt with. Its not whining or complaining on my part, its identifying a primary part of the problem that is causing players to abandon their teams/leagues and also the game. Or do you like being in a league where the top team has 2 or 3 first round picks every draft? Guess you would, if you were that team.
