Maybe what the BBs could do is introduce a hybrid FA system that combines the old and new FA requirements. If a player meets either the old FA requirements, based purely on salary, or the new FA criteria, based on age and TSP, they would be made a free agent if their team goes bot. This would help get younger players on the market, but would also ensure we don't have too many mid to high skilled players retiring.

I do agree to say that it looks rather strange, however, in this announcement, it is clear that TSP matters, not salary.

The 27-year old has a 106 TSP, what about the younger ones? I saw a 35-year old MVP with 117 TSP going FA. In the same team, a player who is the same age and has twice his salary, retired.

I'd probably go bankrupt. Wait, maybe they did change the rules about bankruptcy without announcing it. I'd be saved!

You know what's funny though? Read the history of FA according to the BB supremo here: (270442.5).

Now I would like to draw your attention to his statement: "[we] removed most of the usual FAs that used to clutter the market. Like 30+ high salary players. Those had really low prices and were actually affecting the way the game is played (LI dominance was partly caused by this). "

Now think about which guards who have a high TSP given a level of salary and you will find...LI guards with high IS!!!!

I'm doubtful that using raw TSP or outside/inside TSP will yield better results in preventing LI players from getting to the FA market than salary would. Salary does indeed weigh relevant skills into the calculation, it's not just a random metric tossed out there and since salary does not take into account IS for guards...inside guards would actually be penalised over outside guards if salary was used as a threshold instead of TSP!

Yeah I saw that. It's getting better and better, lately, doesn't it?

Why not just make everyone a FA?

Suggestion thread for that, my friend (y). In this thread, as you can see in the voting options, you can't disagree with the BBs, you can only disagree to agree!

Lemonshine, if there is something wrong with the new FA system, a diplomatic discussion of it would get a heckuva lot better result than a lot of sarcastic whining.

I for one would like to see a reasoned and reasonable analysis of the change.

Yes lets have a total roster reset! Put every player on every team on TL at the same time, give every manager exactly $1,000,000, and let the purge begin! O^*
