No, no ...no, you don't understand me. I'm not saying it's ok to cheat, or that the rules should be relaxed or changed. I was only saying, that my actions seemed the normal step for me to take, or that it was assumed that I would open another account so that I would have a different team to trade with myself with.
But my point was, that it seemed a natural action to me also, because nobody would trade with me, and I saw no trading action going on for the first 2 days. (or not much more than 1).
My point was that maybe others don't stick with the game because 1. you have a team with one of three areas strong, in the 80-90's (any 3, maybe a kicker, QB and a LDE...any 3 though).. and you need a strong team all around. So you look at the other teams available.., RDE, RG, RB are the 3 in the upper 80-90, but you have some nice high 70's in the entire defense... so you take this team. But you find nobody is willing to trade with you, so your team is going to go through the entire season the way that it is basically, and you're going to win 1 or 2 games.
and 2. if that is the case and there's nobody to trade with, so your team is not going to progress until the end of the season and draft comes along... oh, that's going to be a 2 month wait? ....
.... why stay around?
That's all my point was. Not that anybody should be changing the rules, or relaxing them or cheating to have different accounts. I was simply stating the scenario that I was staring at with my team. And on the 3rd day I found that I had another 5 credits, grabbed another team, .. same thing. That's all.
I certainly see the need for the rules and don't want them to change either. And now I've found that most players admit that they will not trade with newcomers. So, I'm just saying, it follows logically that that may be a reason for some newbies not staying.
