If been playing hoops dynasty but dropped out of Sim Baseball a few years ago after playing a lot.

What are the big changes in the last 4 or 5 years?

I'm sure they have adjusted salaries - any big direction in which they did that?

I see they are reducing AAA players for some leagues - where there is AAA are there still the systems to figure out who the guy is?

Are there current known players who everyone regards as bargains you must use, almost cheat codes....what was the word for that....?

What else should I know before I give this another try?

Dynamic prices resulted in many of the higher end player's salaries getting shot way out of proportion, while no players had any meaningful reduction. Also OL cookies from that period also took a steep increase. This ended about 4 years ago. So if a player's price seem way out of whack, it probably is.

AAA is gone from OLs, but you have an extra 1.6m i think to use for the WW (I am not 100% on the WW part, I don't play OLs)

I can't speak for what the current OL cookies are since I don't play them, but just use general good practices for building teams in whatever format you use (don't draft too many IP/PA, look closely at $/IP and $/PA and look for value).

Nice to have you back, I myself was gone for I think over 10 years before coming back last year.

I recently came back from about a 3 year hiatus. Couldn't find my original account so I just started over.

I recently came back from an 11 year hiatus. A random comment brought me back in to attempt the 2021 WISC and now I'm back as regular as I ever was. I read the forums carefully and tried a bunch of leagues to try and see what's new. Dynamic pricing definitely affected a number of the players and made them unusable depending on the cap. But beyond that, I found the game remarkably similar to the one I left many years ago with many of the same owners, the same theme leagues, and same strategies still going. The more I played, the more it came back to me/ G/l mamxet.

thanks all! glad there isnt some super new strange stuff to learn

need to browse the theme leagues to find one that amuses - or maybe just do an open league....

my exhibition team - based only on 2021 players - was at best middling......

Yeah basically the scoop for dynamic prices was a high end players and OL cookies of the day all had their prices go through the roof, as much as I think like 50%.

So basically you had a handful of players get massive increases and thousands of players get negligible decreases. The hope was to make some different players more enticing by changes prices based on who was getting used more, but all it really did was take the upper end talent out of play for anything but uncapped leagues. So definitely try to avoid those players.
