Start Over...Soon

[IamQuailman]

One thing I would like to point out about stamina.

I just looked at all of the Pro game draft class. There are over 30 players with yellow or better potential. Of those players, THREE (3) have sub-50 Stamina (two are r/y, one is o/y). Let's peel the onion back a layer... 50-59 range has THREE. TEN have 60-69 rand. The rest is 70 and above. This is a fundamental flaw between the imported draft classes vs the pro game generated draft classes.

I'm not saying scrap the college game necessarily (although this is year 2 in a row where we have what looks like a very deep class in the auto generated game draft), but I think that this is something we definitely need to continue to monitor and watch. Do we have any previous saves from prior seasons where the non-imported draft class has not been loaded yet so we can compare?

I had a thought, what if in a couple seasons (to be fair to those teams that built up for a run) we started over with a 1990 creation draft. And before y'all jump on me, the downsides to this are obvious:
1. We've done this for so long, why would we stop?
2. People have built long-term strategies, it wouldn't be fair to them to not, say, see Duren grow up.
3. It's a TON of work to do a creation draft, and would probably take weeks to accomplish.

But the reasons I'm suggesting this are basically (in no particular order):
1. We have an excellent group of GMs, but 11 (I think) didn't get a chance to do the original draft, now as we're dealing with some weird rookie classes (whether you're into it, or not, I don't think there's debate that the players are weird), maybe it's the right time to go back to the beginning?

2. I, personally liked the game better with real guys, comparing SLOE stats to real stats, etc.

3. Wouldn't it be fun to see if the league is totally different? T-Mac/Penny/Kemp just pretty good? MJ with a ring? Kobe great? Payton in the HOF? I'd be curious to see what random decent player ends up a god, and vice versa.

3a. We know how to do this better. Imagine if we started from the beginning with no 100+ ratings, TC insurance, lux tax, RFA, everything, woowee

4. A few GMs are pretty worn out, and may like the idea of a shake-up.

5. Can you imagine starting from scratch with a bunch of GMs that know what they're doing?* The creation draft would be insane, trades could be amazing, tanking for guys that were good the last time we did this, but ended up being just average, would be HILARIOUS.

6. At the end of the day, this game is pretty fun, and I think starting from scratch would be a new opportunity and REALLY REALLY fun.

Anyway, just a thought, I was curious how many GMs would like it/hate it. I can already see the 'Hard Pass' from a handful of the leagues vets, but there may be a bunch that would be into it - especially in the group of 11 GMs that have never gotten to do a creation draft.

Agreed Ryan. We should start over now.
