i don't say that you catch up in 1-2 weeks, but i say when you understand what you had to to after 2 weeks you will catch up fast, to people who didn't make the mistakes.

And i don't want to give tipps like, get a new team your league/schedule sucks, and your starting team is also crap.

i don't like this, when teams start to delete their team because they are in "too strong" leagues, don't have the high value youngster you sometimes get etc.

And even when you make faults in the beginning you normally don't loose much to other teams, and you catch up fast when you know it better after 1-2 weeks.

Well, I dont think really in 1-2 weeks you can, but maybe. Also I mean its pretty simple to leave it to teams who havent promoted can restart like one time ever. But it seems no one has interest, assume it will be abused, eventhough what would be implemented isnt even written yet, and could quite easily be made with very low risk abuse potential. Not everyone will take the time to read and make the correct decisions first, but I guess if they dont then we didnt want them here anyway?

No, that's not at all what I was saying. I was saying that if someone didn't take the time to read about how this game works, then I don't think giving them a free do-over is going to retain them. Reset button or not, people will quit the game if it bores them. And I would think that people truly excited about the game would actually read about it.

New teams in the US start in DV or DVI right? Anything short of selling off the entire team and spending all your money on 1 high priced player is workable. It's not at all hard to be competitive against mostly bots and even win the division in a season or two. If you started in DIV or DIII, well, chances are you'd get relegated regardless of the mistakes anyway, and quite frankly, you should, because a new player should earn their way there.

because people will restart, because of lot other minor reasons - and i don't see the potential to such big failures that you can not continue with the team.

yeah i really don'tsee that potential ;) Because i expect teams who like to giving up after every little failure won't play this game so long.

And i see team starting new who want a not so strong league, better starting rookies, better draftposition etc. And i see experience manager like me, saying things like this "delete your team" as tipps for noobs, which could also distract new starters.

What exactly is a poor start in your opinion. Everybody makes a few mistakes in the beginning, I know I did. At the start though, there is nothing that can ruin your team. Perhaps you could ruin your team after playing a few seasons, when you get the money to buy those 500k players, but seriously now you can still get out of that if you put him for sale at $1000 starting price. A manager that sells his whole team at the start and then buys just one player will never be able to play this game anyway. There is no point in giving those players unlimited chances. This is a long term game and it's really hard to actually completely ruin your team. Everyone get's discouraged at one point (when they start losing), some will quit (when it starts to get rough), other will try to improve. Everyone can't win.

Then they make some bad purchases, start losing some, dont make any money, and next thing you know they have a -250k balance, terrible players, and are hating the game.

You can't put your team in such a bad shape with your starting funds. People ever getting to that position are those who have played for some time already. Then it's not a rookie mistake. I'm saying restart is not an option that keeps those players in the game. If you will give a restart option, you are giving those new users an edge before those older users who have sticked with their team + some will even experiment and use the restart option to get better players. God forbit if the players are worse than the first ones. Creates an avalance of complains "I had an Superstar and MVP players in when I started last time, now my best potential is All Star" etc. Not to mention those teams searching for an easier league to start in. This also creates excess teams and players. Instead of getting one team per quitter you get 2 teams per quitter. How many managers do you think this would actually save?
I think we just do not need managers that need babysitting 24/7.
