Development System Suggestion

September 13, 2014 at 05:31AM View BBCode

Although I'm sure there are new players joining the site and discovering the fun that is Sim Dynasty, I'm wondering if it might be time to take the training wheels off the Dynasty League...?

I would propose that SimD restrict System 2 Minor League Development to the Trial Leagues, which are mostly populated with new players learning the game. These are the folks who really need to understand that both sides of a team (hitting *and* pitching) need to be developed. As you know, System 2 requires that at least 4 Coach Points be placed on hitting and on hitting, with the distribution of the remaining 12 points placed as desired - with no more than 5 on any one player nor more than 4 on more than three players.

However, I think that the paid Dynasty Leagues as a whole should be migrated to System 6 Minor League Development, where the 20 Coach Points can be assigned and distributed as desired. We are now talking about owners who, for the most part, have learned how to play the game and understand (at least a little) how to go about building a competitive (I won't say winning) team.

Plus, it seems to me that 90-95% of the ownership in Dynasty Leagues is very veteran, indeed, and the System 2 requirements are simply restrictive, and not educational nor helpful to that crew.

Does this need to be on Idea Scale? Is it already?

That would be a change that is long overdue!

i actually like system 2 the most, i like the added challenge that the restrictiveness creates. it'd be even cooler if we couldn't do CP trades, but in any case i know i'm in the minority here, so I'd be alright with a move to the four 5's. i remember Tyson saying he had considered switching all the dynasty leagues to system 3, that would probably drive me off the site entirely.

idea scale is a wasteland, i wouldn't bother. every offseason someone posts "where's the dynasty schedule" followed by "hey we can figure it out ourselves", and i keep forgetting to chime in that it's still nice to have admin provide it, because maybe one day we may again see "September 12, new changes moved into place"
