For teams that do have a lot of free agent turn over, they take a huge hit to chemistry. I feel that teams should get a lift to their chemistry by scheduling scrimmages. Essentially a scrimmage is like a game/ practice allowing teams to have team cohesion / chemistry. It's a win-win for teams and GLB. The teams have a way to improve their chemistry and GLB gets people to spend more flex on scrimmages.

-1 this would be the same as paying to improve chemistry. so I am against it because in Yello1's words this is a rich get richer type of thing.

I think it would be interesting to have a way to "pay for chem" but not with flex/scrimmages but by having salaries tied to chemistry--that would have a level of realism.

If my free agent is signed for the minimum he's not going to bond as quickly with his new team as he would if he signs for big bucks.

basically that would still give some people a extra edge over the everyday run of the mill GLB players. so still a -1 from me because it would allow the user base to widen the gap even more in competitiveness on the game.

I understand your point of paying for chemisty, that is a valid point. But often regardless of record and peformance, teams loss players for all sorts of reasons. The best way to keep this from happening is just build all the players yourself, which is pretty much the same a paying to keep chemistry high. Or Network with other team owners to insure returning players. That takes a lot of players to build to do so, I.E. paying to keep chemistry up.

Both options, I as a team owner have never done. Just can't afford to. You can be one of the best Team owners on a competition level and at a social level dealing with agents, but still season in and season out have to deal with Chemistry issues. Scrims are not that costly. They help with the overall competition of the game mostly and feel this is a fair way for those owners that don't stock teams with their own player or choose to network with other owner to have a way to better team chemistry

well I can see your arguement but in my case of owning all 55 dots on my team. Or from me being a member of a large coalition really isn't the same as paying for chemistry like what you are talking about. what you are referring to is basically if you field a brand new team and then I build a brand new team. we both start at the same point with the chemistry grace period which I think is 71 on chemistry. well by your suggestion I could spend alot of flex to get scrimmages and be at 100% chemistry by the start of the season. and if you weren't able to afford the scrimmages then you would have to deal with the chemistry issues. so basically no matter how you spin the suggestion it still gives a unfair edge to someone that can spend money where others maybe cannot afford to.

I am fairly certain the flex spent on the builds you have to maintain each season to stay in the good graces of a Network will far exceed the costs of scrims, in which 6 are free to every team each season. And any after that can cost a fair 25 flex per team.

I really do not understand where you get that to be in a network you have to build players to stay in the good graces as a member. I do not know about all groups or networks. but with the group I am in we do not force people to build dots to stay in the good graces as you call it. the only thing we ask from our membership is if you get help from the group then you give some help back. and that can be done in a number of different ways. yeah I build players for member teams, others will coordinate for some members team or teams because they cannot afford to build players. even otehrs in the group will help member teams recruit just to offer some help to a members team. so in my honest opinion friend your idea of what a network is and what most networks or atleast the ones I have been in is wrong for the most part.
