and willingness to renew, has been changes.
There is a change that could be made for Dynasty
Leagues. Perhaps not hard to implement.
I propose that Minor League System 2 be scrapped
for Dynasty Leagues and System 5 used instead
(that is the 15-1 CP allocation).
Would be well received. Would reduce CP trading
(which is unpopular for some and subject to various
problems). Might revive interest. Would show that
Admin is open to changes in Baseball, particularly in
Dynasty leagues.
Would appreciate Admins comment and their assessment
of difficulty to implement and if there would be any
unintended consequences.

Hmmm. Interesting. I believe that would also allow more prospects to be adequately trained, which might shorten the time it takes for rebuilds, which I've heard is another drawback that some have with Dynasty teams.

I would prefer the system that allows you to put all your CPs on hitters or all on pitchers, instead of having to put at least 4 on both. such a crippling number too, that darn 4, cuz it's basically 5. Never tried the 1-to-15 thing, but it seems like a lot of work, and i generally only care about 3-4 of my minor leaguers at most, so i dont wanna waste brainpower over who's getting the 3 CPs and the 6's and 2's and all that.

to work on the 1-15 cps - not a big deal at any
rate. It does eliminate the pitcher/hitter restriction.
Experience has shown it does not significantly
inflate ratings, but it does avoid cp crunches,
in practice eliminates cp trading.
All in all a more rational approach to cps.

In Dynasty leagues you have 2 to 3 extra daysto work on the 1-15 cps - not a big deal at any
rate. It does eliminate the pitcher/hitter restriction.

My first thought is that they would be more prevalent in that format. I almost never trade my CPs, because a 5 CP spot is too valuable, there's only 3 of them. I feel like it would be much easier to stomach trading a 15 CP spot when I still have 5 more double-digit spots.

can you elaborate on how it eliminates CP trading?My first thought is that they would be more prevalent in that format.

I would agree with Paul on this. I would love if Dynasty Leagues could change to Minor League System 6 so we can have more than 3 guys with 4 CPs at once. As it is now you can't fully develop more than 3 prospects at once. If it changes we would be able to have 4 guys with 5 CPs or 5 guys with 4 CPs, as well as no minimum requirement on hitters or pitchers.

Minor League IC system - Either System 5 or System 3 (currently use system 2). But I could make a case for keeping System 2 as well.
Player Mentoring System - System 2 (currently use system 1)
Team Mentoring System - System 2 (currently use system 1)
Injury System - System 3 (currently use system 2)
Everything else the same.
I've been hesitant to make changes in Dynasty leagues though because I fear there will be upheaval with people getting upset and leaving leagues over the changes. Even though I think these are more logical rules (except for the minor league system which I think is more of a personal preference)

I have considered changing some rules in the Dynasty leagues. I like this suggestion, but don't know how well it would be received. I have some rules that I think are better than others that I'd like to change in Dynasty leagues. If I was starting Dynasty leagues from scratch today, here's the rule set I would use:Minor League IC system - Either System 5 or System 3 (currently use system 2). But I could make a case for keeping System 2 as well.
Player Mentoring System - System 2 (currently use system 1)

I'd be fully on board with the mentoring and injury changes, but I think a lot of people would fiercely oppose additional injuries.

i'd be pretty upset if Dynasty switched to minor league system 3. That's a major change, with a major reduction in strategy and difficulty. I've chaperoned in system 3 and found it way too easy to stockpile young talent. So I actually like it for chaperonery, ha.I'd be fully on board with the mentoring and injury changes, but I think a lot of people would fiercely oppose additional injuries.
cdunn3
many would oppose it.
The extra benefit of System 5 (or 6) is that it would
eliminate (or atleast drastically reduce cp trading)
which would be a popular change for many.

Minor league system 3 is a change in strategy and difficulty, not a reduction. It leads to the acquisition of specialty players, much like MLB, and hard choices on which talent stays and goes, again much like MLB. The overall increase in talent is the same for everyone so it's unlikely that you were the only one "stockpiling young talent".
My personal preference is for system 3 minors to be tied with variable development and maximum injuries but regardless I think that if you played a number of years in system 3 you find it no less challenging, just in a different way.

I didn't say I was the only one stockpiling talent; just said it was too easy. No CP crunches to deal with. Choosing which players to develop or not to develop might not be like MLB, but it involves more strategy and difficulty than not having to make any choices.

two, what do you mean by specialty players?I didn't say I was the only one stockpiling talent; just said it was too easy. No CP crunches to deal with.

A small sample, but all 9 agreed with Minor lg system
change, and the preponderance was for System 6
There was opposition to the injury system, and less so
for the mentoring proposal.
I would urge Tyson to make the change to Minor League
Improvement System 6, effective with January changes.
I believe this would be popular and received with gratitude.
It would also show that changes can still be made in
dynasty leagues after a long time since the last change.

l like Tyson's suggestion with the exception of system 3 minors. System 3 creates too much talent and drives down statistics to a very average level in most seasons. The amateur draft class creation would need to be overhauled before I'd join another system 3 league.
