Wolfie Jr (S41 create) was created on January 19, 2023. Goose played 12 seasons in the ISFL and 1 in the DSFL, for just barely over 2 years. I could have pushed him one more season too to probably get to March 31, 2023, putting Goose at 2 years and 3 months - that's a long time!
at a certain point, you could argue a user needs to be almost forced to start over and make a new player. it creates a new type of engagement for lots of users and allows them to explore the league again - or it could force users to take a short break between players and restart fresh.
maybe it's just because i've been here for a while, but i've found that careers have gotten pretty stale after a while and recreating allowed me to join new teams without feeling disloyal to the team that drafted me.
Thanks for the input, I am glad to see it! How do you feel about a change to the regression rates? What strikes me in particular is that the raw regression goes up over time, taking more from less in the later years. Do you think a 13 year cap with a softer regression rate would be beneficial? Do you think there might be ways to encourage re-creation while still letting users stick with their players a little longer if they want?
Edit: If this feels like I'm grilling you or anything I'm sorry. I'm just curious what people think.
Eh if we want to go to realism concerns I think lots of players have a pretty steep drop off towards the end - so personally I think the "cliff" is fine? So even for the beginning of regression you're going to be just fine but the cliff is coming. As for encouraging re-creation, I'm not sure. We do already have the deadline create allowing for users to technically have two players at the same time, fwiw.
And don't worry! This is good discussion. Just bringing in my boomer perspective
