Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

That's not true though, you can run a 4 TE 1 RB formation on Madden called Hulk. If it's in the game, it must be a real teams play. Also, if you have a guy that's a TEWR, then why can it only be 3, if he's a WR as well as a TE? Missed this, but we were going down the same path. However, don't forge...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

Actually...assuming your TE is a TE|WR, you can start them at all your WR spots which should be picked up by the software? Not sure that would be good for your WR grade, but if you are dead set on it give it a try.

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

You're still exaggerating. Yes I have an opinion on most things (shouldn't you?), but how hard I argue depends on the situation and still don't think characterizing it as complaining is accurate. I don't think a 3 TE set makes sense either, but I suppose there is nothing saying you cannot do it in R...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

Agreed my change is a more significant change, but this is the place and time for those suggestions. While I agree Marlin's suggestion is a good one, the fact it hasn't been adopted reflects just how resistant to change the community is. Most GMs wouldn't even notice it.

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

Marlin, didn't you kick this year's open mic thread off with an idea you said in the post you have suggested every year? Every major sports league changes rules every year because they are trying to improve. Every major corporation does the same or they fall behind. I'm sorry, was page 2. :D I reque...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

Okay, wasn't sure where you were making the connection, thanks for clarifying. Still disagree football GMs only make 5 phone calls per day, but that seems to be the consensus. Personally, I would want to gauge the market of every player I'm interested on, probably sit back a little to see if anythin...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

In RL? I'm always surprised when anyone signs after the first 24-hours of the off-season. The vast majority of players are going to want to talk to several teams and the top players are unlikely to be in a hurry. No it isn't Madden, but the whole game engine is designed off its ratings so you don't ...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

If there is going to be unlimited bids you might as well throw out the salary cap as well. If an owner has the ability to bid on 15 or 20 FA at once money dosen't seem like an issue. I like the 5 max per day because it prioritizes your needs for your roster plus there is some fiscal responsibility ...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

:( It is disappointing that a phrase like "we will never ___" comes up in a thread specifically for discussing possible changes, really sets a good tone for discussions and exploration. Thanks though. That does answer my earlier question as to whether the league has ever had unlimited bidd...

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion - Open Mike

I don't think you should ever allow a GM to spend money they don't have. Since it seems that is unlikely to change, I hope I get to see some of these bids trying to drive prices up backfire in their faces.
