- Human owned teams with more than 10 CPUs now have a penalty to CPU player strength for each CPU over 10 (up to 25% penalty)

I know this was put in place to reduce the # of teams grabbing "lolGold" in deserted leagues ... but really does anyone care about that?

What's more annoying is things like this:

There was a "put the brakes on" package replacing the normal O at +50 points, that just tried to pound the inside runs. It never really got a chance to slow anything down due to the 36 return TDs.

No one wants to see 400-0 games. Maybe pull the 75% effective up to 90% effective for the CPU squads or there abouts? That should be plenty enough for *any* reasonable human team to beat, without making the games *quite* SO ridiculous?

I would rather they increase the number of CPUs allowed before penalty to 20.

-1 to op

Wouldn't have any effect reducing the number of 255+ to 0 games with the penalty being at 20 players though?

In my mind, it's not about making things better for all/mostly CPU human owned teams. It's about making things better for new owners that can't quite get 10 or under CPUs despite recruiting hard. You can have 44 human owned dots on the roster and still be penalized. Doesn't seem quite right. Needs to be upped to 15 or 20.

or you could, you know, not own a team if you can't recruit any dots

Well I can see this was completely derailed.

I could honestly care less about the number it kicks in at, this wasn't about helping people too lazy to recruit.

It was about the number of EMPTY, gutted teams, that are hanging around in almost every league, all human owned, usually with 2-3 dots that haven't logged in for months - and 50 some odd CPUs. They're still not going to win a single game if you lessened the penalty to say -10% ... remember these are CPU dots to begin with, they already suck.

Then their special teams might OCCASIONALLY make a tackle, and a team trying to finish the game after say a 100 point lead, could actually run the ball inside and OCCASIONALLY get tackled, instead of plowing through 5 dots for a TD.

-1 I would rather see league contraction and go back to the waiting list to own teams.

-1 I remember losing to an all CPU Team with an all Human Team.
