Those dudes would not play...Whose going to come back with horrible talent...If a GM can't improve there team via trade thats their fault...If people get ripped thats just a part of the game...Also a rip to one person may not be a rip to another

"Whose going to come back with horrible talent?"

I agree bro, and that's the point. If you know that you're gonna struggle to win games then you need to limit your trades so you can try to build chemistry and learn your squad. I don't think teams should be punished for losing....but you should be punished for losing if you did a bunch of dumb sh*t and made it hard on yourself.

"If a GM can't improve there team via trade thats their fault"

You ever been in a club with 100 n*ggas and 20 chicks? Everybody won't be fukking something at the end of the night. :russ:

The league has 30 teams, and only 2 or 3 make terrible trades. We basically have a race to see which good team can rape a bad teams the fastest. That's silly and unrealistic.

Once one of the competitors rapes a team it starts a domino effect that makes everybody else feel like they have to make outrageous trades to keep up.

"Also a rip to one person may not be a rip to another"

If you're not in the playoffs then your opinion on what is or isn't a ripoff doesn't hold any weight. The purpose of a trade is to improve your teams and win games - not collect assets that you enjoy playing with. If you're not winning games then you can't really speak on who won or lost a trade.

well if thats the case the only people who should be in the league are the teams winning right? A person should collect assets that they enjoy playing with its a video game after all....If you enjoy playing with them it may or may not lead to winning.

Well put:wow:

Season 3 should be better regardless we've played with every one pause so we should know who not trade for. Half these trades y'all can't deny are to see how a certain player plays:russ:

I'm looking at it from a motivation standpoint

Like "I better get better or lose my spot"

Not necessarily punishment.. I thought of that idea awhile ago just to keep this league competitive as possible.. I'm all about competition.. I hate playing the bad teams because we're playing 9min quarters.. On the other hand, I love playing you and Sonny and the other good dudes on 9min..

So conflicted:wow:

I think you cats are over thinking how many people actively want to play these games in a league...You will have a lot of people who will play 1-2 games these dudes aren't staying especially once they run up on a beat down a few times.

agreed, but you need to do that without messing things up for the teams that are here to compete for wins. This is a competitive semi sim league first and foremost. You can use the single player "My GM" mode if you wanna trade all day.

if someone offers a trade and a team likes those players offered their is nothing wrong with taking the trade...The teams that are here to compete for wins should be trying to improve their teams as well.

There's no way to control it

Limiting the amount of trades isn't right

Neither is voting on whether or not a trade is fair..

The only way to somewhat regulate this is implementing a rule like the bottom 5 teams will be replaced each season.. We don't have enough people that actually want to play in these leagues though
What about a trade tier system
Gold, Silver and Bronze trades

Like you can only trade your 1st round pick a certain amount of times ie.twice

Players rated for 80-85 can only be traded a certain amount of times ie.twice

Players rated 80 and under can be moved as many times as you want

I talk to a lot of dudes through pms and the majority of them are hype to get into here.

@DIMES @Todd McPiff @Jonah Jameson to name a few:yeshrug:

Regardless the trading doesn't gotta stop but it has to get smarter. I don't care what anybody says but the point of adding legends and making rosters wasn't to see a team with Paul George, Khawi Leonard AND Hakeem Olajuwon. It's not even hate to @Brozay he's arguably the best player in here but he shouldn't have that roster and if it was another player I'd feel the same way about that squad.

We aren't able to have progression , free agency or rookies so we Atleast need to be able to have an atmosphere in here where it feels like we all got a chance to compete if we put in the work on the sticks.

I personally don't wanna see any of y'all not run with us I think this league could be better competitively than the OG leagues but we can't have this type of nonsensical moves being made yet.
