This is a follow up to the "suggestions" thread I made. I personally think that we should. It's impossible to justify midseason progression IMO, and it also leaves a huge increase to chance. Also, because of the ratings increase that the +10 has given (not entirely due to the +10 obviously, but it has played a role), ratings are up to the point where Spence doesn't want to have post-padding threads for rewards. To me, that is a staple of BBS. Vote.

I still do not think it should be eliminated. Maybe we can do every three seasons?

I just don't think it is worth improving a roster based off of luck.

Luck already plays a big enough role as it is.

As opposed to talkin about random crap and improve your best players attributes permanently. I dont know if its just me but this makes no sense. I hope this is one of those time where Spence just does what he thinks is best

If we're not gonna have post-pad threads then I don't see the point in getting rid of it. Gotta have something fun like this around. It's not my preferred choice but it seems to be the only one.

Whats the difference between guys improving because of luck and ratings getting improved because someone can hit a keyboard?

Whats the difference between guys improving because of luck and ratings getting improved because someone can hit a keyboard? Really? Because in one case, I can have a stud get a +10 and you can have a shitty player get a +10. In the other case, we can both put points towards a player that we choose to, thus making it more equal/fair. |

In the other case, we can both put points towards a player that we choose to, thus making it more equal/fair. Exactly why i prefer randomness. People being able to continually improve ratings for a stud only adds to future inflation problems. I rather risk getting a shitty player getting +10 plus its not guaranteed that it'll actually improve the player. If you dont like dont participate. Regardless spence said hes not going to really do post pad threads. |

I don't know, I think it's actually pretty cool and fun. Cuz once in a while you get a guy who shows some signs of life that wouldn't normally. I say keep it.

I like midseason progression. I think its another thing to talk about. While somehwat unrealistic, I think a league needs "other" things to keep it active. This is kind of the reason I suggested the Franchise Player in BBSBL. Its nice to have multiple things to discuss and talk about besides just the sim. So, its staying.
