Knowing bort yeah he will sit on it. Like he does lots of things including a big time nerf of the passing game. That kinda showed how badly the messed up the WR's a long time ago.

bump

was going to suggest, but found in epic.



edit:

add in, 2 effective levels. 2 boxes. effective level untouched, and effective level with decline. second box either activates when decline does or is left at n/a till decline starts.

also frozen decline and effective level at retirement.

If they bring in effective level caps for leagues instead of actual level caps then declining players could go back into capped leagues under this system.

Is that a good or bad thing.

Discuss.

that is an entirely different thread IMO, in which a thread i would disagree on, it would take the fun out of the game, if i build a good 25/30 player...why do i have to face 32/30 players. if were both the same lvl and not the effective level its someones fault. building a good dot is not a secret with all these cookie cutter builds.

Not the point what my point is that Bort has talked about using effective levels to capleagues. If they do a career will be lengthened with geriatrics moving down leagues through their career into minors

I could see an older player continuing to play down to AAA or AA and maybe A (similar to an older baseball player finishing his career in the minors), but wouldn't allow them to drop below there.

shameless bump

Only problem I see is people sandbagging to make their low rank teams win.

Doubtful. It'd help them at the beginning, but not at the end of the season as a player in decline would get worse as the season progresses.

Thus, as a result, they might be lights out the first half of the season, but would bomb at the end of the season and in the playoffs when it really matters.

im just impressed with that rak = //(.)(.)\\ WHOO HOO !!!
