I have read some articles recently that have given thought to the idea of changing the way free agency operates. I agree that there isn’t enough excitement during the limited free agency window. One way it could be improved is to alter the rules regarding tampering. Trust me, I understand that strict rules need to be in place to make sure that there are no backroom deals and people screwing other users over on purpose. But, the past few weeks I have noticed some very weak tampering that has resulting in punishments. Perhaps we need to allow for preliminary talks with potential free agents and GMs of rival teams.
Besides that, I think that is it extremely obvious that the simulation itself needs to be fixed and improved. To be honest, the first time I saw the simulation I was extremely disheartened. The league had been built up to feel like you were creating a professional athlete, I put time into creating a player and earning and allocating TPE and all to just watch some dots move around a screen at a pace that is hard to see. Other sim leagues have far better systems. And honestly, I can get over the fact that the sim is just dots moving around the screen, but the logic utilized by the sim engine is terrible and baffling. It’s like the creators of the sim have never watched a game of football in their life. Play calling, time out logic, and other issues make the league a lot less enjoyable for me.
