Getting rid of retarded player potentials--I like games that are open-ended. If I want to train a player until all of his skills are wondrous, I should be able to, even if the guy is 28 or something.
Bad idea. Not everyone can have the potential to be great.
Then get rid of training altogether. If every 6'10" allstar can be trained to colossal rebounding skills, then all 6'10" players have the potential to be great rebounders, even if they suck at everything else. And if I can train a player into a one-trick-turd like that, why shouldn't I be able to train him into a Barkley-esque PF? Because 5 seasons ago someone decided to slam the door shut on training, just at the end of a rather long hallway.
Free Agents--freaking stop it. There is no reason to release an Italian with 13k salary from a bot team.
What's the problem? Don't like him, don't buy him.
Free Agents take money out of the game. Period. Why bother having the money in the game in the first place if you need to create a mechanism to take it out?
Monthly ticket prices--I like the fact that I can make my own mind up about what I'm charging at the gate, but I don't like the 1st of the month restriction. Seasons don't start and end (and promotions and relegations don't take place) on the first of the month, so why should changes in ticket prices?
Agreed. But it probably shouldn't be adjustable every game. Or there should be a penalty for owners who adjust their prices all the time and piss off their fans.
I liked the idea of being able to change prices at regular intervals during the season: at the start of the season, interconference play, last round of regular season, playoffs.
