SIM COMPLETE - 2000 - FREE AGENCY 3

[funclown]

From what I've read/seen this is my take. FWIW.

Scouting...I don't think means squat anymore. It used to.

PD? League average (10 mil I think)and your players progress/regress normally. If you double/triple/ etc player reach their potential quicker (although not a lot)and are more likely to reach their potential. This does not guarantee a player will pan out. Bombs will bomb. Also if you severely neglect your PD budget some players regress quicker. This part is only my observation so take it with a grain of salt.

I think that's why when you're building properly you don't buy an occasional big money free agent for a few points in fan interest but sink it into your PD. So maybe a guy develops in 5 years instead of 6 or 7? Maybe he has a better chance to actually pan out? I feel like this was put in to benefit the guy that really wants to build from the ground up, because trust me it gets BORING waiting several seasons in an online league. Hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The OOTP 13 handbook finally tells you what it does. Yes, helps with prospects. No proof it hurts your majors, but there was some rumblings on the boards that reported quicker aging of players but that's all speculation.

Seems if you stick with league average is business as usual.

Well, that's confusing. League average is $10MM. That's a lot of money to be league average. Are there really enough guys in this league putting in over $10MM because that would surprise the hell out of me.

Because I don't give a crap about putting this out there...I had $0 last year (for obvious reasons. We had no one to develop) and went up to $5MM this year. So, are we saying that my $5MM is the same as $0 since I need to pump $10MM for things to work as they did before development budgets were even introduced in the game?

Nothing out there gets the specific. There were some test ddddddddddddddddddddddsecdexxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Okay, I seriously just about spit out my drink from the last two posts. WTF?!

Nothing out there gets that specific like control charts, probability scales or any form variation study. Some people have done test seasons and about the only thing PEOPLE seemed convinced was if you double the development there were claims of significant increases. In the end if you draft a shitty player, he probably just goes from shitty to "bad" sooner.

With that, Jistic hasn't drafted first and has poured in a pile of money. Today his system is #1 (except this sim with mid Feb whacky change)

Could mean its having a impact or he's just drafting real well as of late.

LMAO, some of my keyboards keys got stuck and had to clean it. Noticed a 7up can by it. Nice job son.

He left the evidence? A life of crime is definitely not his calling.

Have him PM me for some pointers, funclown.

Dynamic or not, it still starts doing crazy jolts to the top 100 around this time. Good example is Pitts 70pt jump this sim. It happens every single time around this year.

Still dynamic though.

If that were the case then I don't understand why Ian Fain dipped all year last year from his debut. Slowly and not too far but still he dropped a little bit. And his stats were more insane than Funclown's house.

He meant to post that under his PIT sign-in.

Three Pitt mentions in one thread... talk about a slow off-season.

Also, in FA news we signed SP Raul Guzman, MR Al Micginnis, OF Loren Wallace, 2B Clearence Wetton, 3B Curt Dodson.

Those signings were cool.

I don't if this is sarcastic and I should be offended... or you're serious and it's the kiss of death.
