"Don't take this as saying a weaker human should always get more than a better human in a weaker conference because I do not think that, I just think a balance should be made where a team who does go trhough the tough conference play does get rewarded sp they don't look to coast on a sim conference. "
and
"t a certain point an s16 in a sim conference might be more cash than a 1st round in a full human conference. I'm not sure st what point but a team that goes through a brutal conference should get more than a team that wings trhough sims. "
What the current system is, and what you want,is p a reward for people playing in full conference as opposed to success. If you really want to reward people for success, it should be their own success, not the success of their conference mates. I would argue that NT success is the truest (and the closest to objective) measurement of success and THAT should be rewarded.
If you think that
I was saying there would need to be a balance of finding rewarding success and rewarding their conference
I mean most of the time the difference of a 6 seed and a 10 seed isn't much talent wise but usually a 6 seed has an easier path to the S16, a mid level talented team in an empty conference can get a 6 seed running through sims and getting 23+ wins and a weakish rpi/sos and a 10 seed can be a 15-12 power conference team with high sos. The 10 seed might be more talented but has a hard bracket and only gets the the 1st 2nd round because they faced tougher matchups where the 6 seed gets a easy opponent and wins their first tough game going to the first round. Switch conferences and that 10 seed does much better as a 6 seed where the 6 seed might not even get enough wins to qualify for the NT
For sure an E8 team probably deserves more than a 1st round power conference team, but I think if its close by a round then the power team should still get as much if not more.
And then you just again entice people to move out if they aren't getting money in a power conference because its a rebuild they'd be better of as king of the sims, they'll build a better team and if they get similar amounts why risk the brutality of a tough conference or not getting any money in their down seasons?
