Hey, thanks for signing my guy to your sinking ship. Why on earth would I make a dot in the future for your team when you give up before game one?

Why, if you want to be a great team, are you accepting auto offers from agents?

I don't expect ever to be on a great team, but I do appreciate owners that seem to appreciate what agents have done for their team, bringing their dot in, boosting him, etc, to declare that the season is a wash before it starts is demoralizing. Teams like this should start with a -50 in team morale.

So, before you tell your team you are packing it up before the first game, consider the time, money and energy each of the current agents on your team have spent to be a part of your team.


Honestly, as an owner, I do feel that owners definitely OWE their players tryhards and honesty. Hell, to boost a full team from start to finish is something like $2500. People are trusting you with $2500 worth of dots (if L79 team), the owner owes those players a ton, and at the very least owes them tryhards and doing what you can to win games.

With that said there are many not-good owners out there, and if you are accepting random auto-contracts you are asking to be placed with said owners who can't field a team by normal means.

Yeah, that should always be followed by "As a result, if you ask for a release, I will honor the request."

Yep, I swear there are/were tons of agents that didn't know what a personal message is or how to send one. Rather than PM me about a concern they have about their dot with my team they would wait until week 15 and go into a blind rage in the team forum.



I haven't had an agent problem in like 15 seasons at least. L79's that get recruited are pretty chill, and I guess since my only low level teams are farms, it all takes care of itself.

Yeah, that's why the lower leagues are so fun.

I suspect there are a small handful of owners out there that either quit in a rage (and subsequently make such poor decisions on their teammates as well)... or are new to the experience and make less than desirable decisions because they don't know better... or there are just some really bad owners. But that number, I suspect, is not only small... but shrinking. Like many posters here, if I was confronted with such a situation as a dot agent, I doubt I'd resign with that owner again. Having said that, I work with owners that have reset their teams more than once and don't complain because they're usually both explanatory and polite when they recycle the team. Some even try to help find homes for their dots. So those guys, even with their track record of recycling teams, I'll still work with/for.

...and if you are to believe the rumors, that's roughly 5-7 real people.

Hey he got on the DC!

But yeah, it seems he got nudged to 3rd on the HB2 chart for no apparently good reason.

I changed it. Playtime should improve.
