I don't have any problem with NBA Jam. They don't have an "unfair" advantage over anyone in this league as they've been within the league guidelines from the start. If you're 16 levels over the cap, then yea i'd say it's an unfair advantage even if your team sucks and you lose every game. Fairness isn't about whether or not your team sucks, it's whether or not your team plays within the spirit of the rules. Some, like NBA Jam, have while others have not. There's no point naming names, jagoffs usually know when they're being jagoffs whether they admit it or not.
I don't see it as really being debateable. If you're in a basketball league for ages 10-13 and one team has a 20 year old starting at center, wouldn't you think that's unfair even if the rest of his team were drooling vegetables and the 20 year old sucked hardcore and the team lost every game? Wouldn't it still be jacked up that some sorry coach would ruin the spirit of the game by trying to stack the odds in his favor in such a way, even if it backfired? I don't know why some people can't understand, it's the act of bringing grossly overleveled players onto teams that I find distasteful, not the results of it. I don't even care about teams that had a couple players 3-4 levels over cap and the average lvl of their team brought them to this league. It's the dweebs that got word that it was the average level of the top 25% of the team that determined the cap they'd get placed in so temporarilly dropped players at cap and brought in lower lvls temporarilly just in order to sneak ultra high level onto the team that I find disgusting. Owners that did that, and you know who you are, weren't trying to win an equal competition, they just wanted to get ahead at any cost. Personally I don't really like playing with people who think like that very much, and as such I have a hard time seeing why anyone else would either.
Ty for taking the time to write this out. Everything I've been trying to say minus the hostility of my posts.
