Why did he show this? He wanted to show a direct consequence of 3.0 recruiting, therefore us giving advices to fix this unwanted consequence. On topic.

Who knows why benis does what he does?

Now quote the post showing the topic was "Cap recruiting".

Or have benis change the thread topic. Either/or, I don't care. It's just annoying when you push your agenda AND say "Stay on topic" when you're clearly not on topic.

"Who knows why benis does what he does?"

This is easy. To make MikeT proud of me. Duh.

See? Not amusing. It's just sometimes.

I mean, they can't all be homers.

It's on topic. I don't have an agenda. I am going to play anyways, just wish some changes were made. This is one of them.

Then stay on topic. Or start your on thread about capping recruiting. The only exchanges we ever have is when you do exactly what you did here. Get on topic.

Singles count as amusing in the HD forum. That was just a swing and a miss. Or, in basketball terms, an airball.

I would be willing to bet that there is a significant correlation (p-value <.05) between climate change deniers and intelligence.

I agree. Climate change deniers probably do have a higher IQ.

Back to the original topic - zorzii directly relating to what Benis pointed out by saying the fluctuation problem (for people that think it is a problem at least) can be fixed by instituting a recruiting cap, and not the "Mike needs attention" topic - I agree, but have mixed feelings as to whether that should be D3 only or for each division. I think there would be less DII schools that could compete at the DI level if there were less SIM AI teams, but I still think the vast majority of DII recruiting for competitive teams would be done pulling down DI recruits rather than signing DII talent in the 1st cycle.

Off topic (actually off topic) - wouldn't it be cool if DII teams could "earn" their way into a DI conference? They kind of had something like that built into old NCAA Football games where you could take a D1AA school and manually move them to a low level conference at the start of a franchise, and then if they performed well in that conference they'd be invited up to the PAC-10 or whatever major conference fit that school's location. I think it would be neat to be able to take a dominant DII team (truly dominant, maintained A prestige for 10+ seasons) and be invited to replace a dead SIM team in low D1. It's a pipe dream, but having dynamic conferences like that would add an extra aspect to the game for users who want to stay with one school for a long time.

Too long.

I know I know, you want quick and punchy things that you can actually process and try to argue with. Womp womp, maybe next time!

I think people should stay on topic. It proves overall rating is a lot higher, Trenton 5 per stats is probably a good assumption, but it does not touch durability or WE.

I said all along that a cap is needed. And we need to be able to draft from the first session til the end of the second in every division.

I also said that location has become more important because, you won't have access to these players if you are in a surrounded area while other teams, pretty much left alone, will.

The difference between divsions has shrinked. Either you get rid of D3 altogether and make a good D2 division or you go ahead with caps. Some D3 are already top D2 teams.

It's on topic (at least what the topic should be), but the cart is before the horse. This is classic question begging. Why is it a problem? Who is harmed by top D3 teams now having higher overall ratings? Are you beating sims by more points? Why is that bad? Are you beating new players by more points? If that's a real problem, what are you doing to help those new players understand that they have access to the same players you're getting?

The gap between top veteran D3 dynasties and the teams available to completely new players has always been very wide. Instituting division caps isn't going to fix that. It's just going to decrease the pool of recruits available for everyone at that level, forcing new players to try to compete with veterans for the same recruits, thereby putting a premium on experience and location - which is only going to help established dynasties.

Please comment further. I would love to know what is embarrassing about an exclamation point.
