First off, it was pretty well known in the USA community at some point that BB-Charles did in fact operate more than one team in the USA (one in particular he was using to test shotblocking, IIRC). It wasn't advertised, in contrast to the other sim you may mention, but it has happened previously and it would probably be a safe assumption that it continues to happen with the current development staff.
Obviously it happens at the top levels of teams. Hopefully it happens at all levels -- that would be great news, but unfortunately there seems to be little evidence of that.
if someone's plan is to ride a bunch of 30-somethings out of V, then ride a bunch of 30-somethings out of IV
If someone else has to make up something like that, or doesn't understand what another team is doing, it weakens their argument and their credibility.
Edited to say that someone might look at my team, for example, and think that's similar to what I was trying to do ... and they would be
wrong.
But that's irrelevant to the thread.
It's ludicrous that people, like hrudey, are defending the choice of creating inflation to make training more appealing.
There are so many options available that choosing to support inflation as the solution for making training profitable is mind boggling.
I would find it ludicrous if that were, you know, actually what was being said.
To be fair, it wasn't you who said this first, it was BB-Marin. But you seem on board with it:
I would agree that hopefully this inflation might encourage people to do more training ...
It does far, far more than "encourage" training; it
requires it, makes it a
necessity. And until training is made logical that means managers are being forced into an illogical system. Obviously a lot of managers have become accustomed to that, and that is fine for them. But for others being forced into an illogical system is a deal breaker. There are too many sports management sims that require no such thing.
