For those of us who smell the losing season midseason and are eager to look forward to the next, why not relax the age limit on leagues at the midway point?

Such that if your age limit is normally 200 on day 0, then on day 21 in the season in becomes 181 instead.

That way you can start signing prospects and getting them on board to give you something amusing to do.

why would any of them be free agents?

prolly turrible dots on CPU teams

and totally fuck over a bunch of teams that now have to face higher level players

I don't see the harm in it, but I also don't see it happening (much less any suggestion anymore, really)

yep, you are right bane, i read that backwards, buteither way, 1 group of teams had to play better players than the rest of the season. i suppose the argument could be that it would be no different than a team going cpu during the season, but i've never liked allowing that either for the same reason.

I see your point Guppy. But if the team was cupcake to the point where its bailing out midseason, the teams that were in contention that it still has to play were going to beat it anyway.

Um... farm teams. Jus sayin.

huge difference in beating a team 56-7 and 255-0. not to mention signing younger players at any level lower than reg pro will make you permanently behind the other teams. why would you want players that are younger than the maximum age?

lolno!

I made a suggestion that would've covered this issue a long time ago. Player Promises. In this manner an agent could 'promise' his dot(s) to a team anytime during the season and that (those) dot(s) would reflect that by having it (them) not appear on the FA market, would automatically get a contract the instant it became a FA from the team the promise was made to (so the owner/hc/gm/co-owner/whoever didn't have to manually remember to do so), and would show up as 'promised' anytime someone was looking to see if it was available by checking the homepage or dotpage. That died a long time ago along with other suggestions for ST upgrades and other stuff that WG simply had no further intent of working on because this game was 'history' and their concentrated efforts were going to be on other new games (thanks GLB2... *thbpt!*).
