Is this a thread about "repair the lack of competition" or is it still about a tiny group getting an advantage over everyone else and/or free flex?

even if someone were to argue (and pointlessly i might add) how about the benefit to recruitment by showcasing the stability of a franchise? No effect. If you dont win and win now, the past 10 seasons of maintaining a team dont mean squat to the vast majority of folks.

and keep in mind, i'm going back to the dark ages of GLB too- no D leagues like today. If it werent for these squads where would Borts little cash cows have lived?

I'm not even saying every so many seasons, leave that up to the evil overlords. just something. where's the luv ?


Yeah, Bort definitely needs to reward his best and longtime customers.

I would go a step further and say that any agents that have owned X amount of players (would have to make them reach a certain level to stop people from just creating and retiring players) should get some sort of reward..... be it something similar to this or a flex reward or whatever.

Honestly, in RL when you buy in quantity you generally get things for less. I realize that buying tons of flex all at once gives a small discount on here, but once an agent reaches a serious milestone that should be much better than that very minor discount that most won't buy all at once.

+1 for a reward to long term owners.

Would just be easier if you could renew your team for longer at a time, for a slightly reduced cost, similar to flex purchases.

This or something similar is a good idea and all I would support.

No performance enhancements or flex discounts should be involved. Going by that type of thinking guys like Taut and a few others should never have to pay for players again. We all know that's not going to happen either.

Rewards for performance are on the NGTH list anyway. I'm enjoying the moderation team embarrassing themselves by letting this get to page 6.

I'm disgusted at a couple of the comments (generally associated with the same clown, but thats another story) -as well as the implication that this is an effort to try to obtain free flex. I dont need the 4$ that badly.
No one here is saying the issue trumps the host of more important topics GLB needs to address either.
Just an idea that i thought merits some consideration and discussion. thats it.

Here is an Idea, how about after your stadium is completly built and you can do no more with that part of team ownership the cost to renew drops from 400 to 300. Throw a bone to an owner who keeps his team for awhile. Thats all the OP was askin for....

Cept this isnt about performance.

Trophies, fine. Any ACTUAL change to the team (such as morale boost, cheaper rates, etc.) should NEVER happen

This.

I like the concept of giving out a trophy after X seasons but length of ownership should never affect actual performance.

Did you see my ideas?

Small number of luxury seats? For a construction cost of course.

Slight loan interest discount?

Those are fairly innocuous boosts that still might make people hang with a team longer.

Did you read my comment?

What you are suggesting would be enhancing performance, albeit slightly. That is a road that GLB shouldn't travel down unless it wants to disenfranchise new owner and/or owners who took a break and then bought back their teams.

Just being a team owner in and of itself isn't anything special unless you are consistently winning. And handing out bonuses to teams who are winning is a bad plan since it leads to a more uneven field.

I don't know if a small amount of cash, token basically, can be considered performance enhancement really.

But that could all be put aside and the other ideas remain and still be amusing.

I could get onboard with the trophy/ring/plaque idea. Possibly even a reduced renewal rate if not too overboard.
The extra added stadium VIP section is likely out of the question since you could possibly buy an extra promotion, which WOULD affect team performance.

It's basically the same thing. Giving flex rewards for something you do in-game.

Can't see any issue with reduced renewal rates for long term ownership.

I have asked and asked for long-term teams to be able to "customize" themselves.

Really small stuff, like perhaps getting "experience points" they can spend ( along with team cash and maintainence costs ) for not-so-super-powers.

Examples:
Hot Cheerleaders - other team is distracted and < insert mechanic here>
Custom jerseys - makes your team happy/pround/whatever < insert mechanic here>
etc...

To those of you who "don't wanna play Madden", then don't - play this instead. =)

Oh Im not a fan of the flex reward part, yeah. Dont think I included that in my concepts.
