One more thing, not sure how hard it would be. But something for the OOP penalty. Make WR's be able to go to CB/S real easy, but make the opposite a little worse (so people still will build 300 FP guys). QB would have to have a decent OOP, most QB's I assume would only play QB. Make OL and DL pretty easy to go between, but the same type of thing with the WR to CB and what not. And LB to RB/FB/TE all fairly easy.

That way there is still OOP's, but more minimal, and it also promotes making the more expensive guys for Bort's side of things.

Again, not sure how hard it would be to set the OOP's up just for this league, but if it was not too hard, could do something like that

Yeah, we discussed this a bit, but the consensus seems to be that the best chance to get this done is to make it as simple to implement as possible. Keep the OOPs the way they are, keep all the options and tactics and etc just the way they are. Just limit the roster size to 15 players.

Could the OOPs use a little tweaking for this kind of league? Of course. Could we use some better player creation options for Iron Man players? Absolutely.

But we understand Bort is working his heart out trying to make this game better and give people all the little bells and whistles they clamor for, at the same time trying to keep the competitive balance fair and remove anything that can be used as an exploit. We support that.

We'd just like to get an Iron Man league started and see where it goes from there. If it's a complete failure, no harm, no foul (although I don't think it will be judging from the response generated just from this suggestion thread). We can retire the players and go back to the traditional game.

If it's a success, then maybe in the future when the game has its kinks better ironed out and Bort and Co. have time to devote to specialty leagues, we can revisit some of the OOPs and player creation options. We'll have a better idea after a few seasons whether we even need these things anyway.

For now, we can just consider OOPs and player creation limits part of the advanced strategy for an Iron Man league. All we need is the roster limits.

I absolutely love this idea and probably would create damn near a whole team. I would suggest being able to use Traditional instead of Casual tactics. Keep everything the same as we have with the traditional leagues except for the roster limit that's been discussed by the OP. I would make the first leagues start as Level 1 cap, similar to PeeWee, then raising the cap each season of a team's existence so we can avoid the failed traditional builds having a dominating impact over the players that were built specifically for Iron Man from the beginning.

I really hope this can happen.

still not, sadly

Sounds fun!

Seems like a coding task, though.

+1, but might be very hard to implement
If this is accepted, then we would go through a whole new phase of bugs and fixes for another 10 seasons

Would not be much of a coding task I would think if the only new thing for this league would be the roster limits. I think that is why we are leaning towards just that. Other things that would require more coding would be bonus, but not necessary.

Would be a fun season 20 idea.

Well you would probably also have to give players more training points or SPs so that it would actually be competitive instead of level 20s and 30s being low levels - due to having to spread around SPs.

Actually, this could be kind of like high school football. A lot of high schools have their athletes play two positions, even though not everyone starts both positions that they play.

The idea is that you wouldn't have to do any of that. No coding changes. No out of position penalty changes. Simply make roster limits of 15 players. Let the owners, GMs and agents work with things the way they are and come with their own strategies.

ohh I get it, let people experiment, etc. Alright sounds cool

+1

This would be awesome

While they would like to change those things, if you try and change all of those things it gets too tricky and too much work for Bort. If you keep it simple, it would be much easier for Bort.

If every team has to deal with the same stuff, it puts everyone on an equal level. It really makes it important to know how you are building a team together, as a team, and not have one person be solo on the way he is building his guy

+1, needs to be epic.

Awesome idea. If its a go, I am in.

+1 great idea plz could we plz have GLB listen to a idea for once

+1 i would love for alot of my players to play on both sides of the ball
