Player Development

[SteveVesey]

What do you guys think? Option A or B?

Option A – Leave current players alone – wait for the changes to player aging/development to cycle through the league over time.

PRO – Everyone will be impacted the same way,
CON – it will take awhile for new ‘normal’ development to cycle through the league

Option B – Develop current players extra (superflip) at the next season flip, to jumpstart the transition and make younger players most closely resemble players in the new aging/development model. This is a ONE-TIME option as we move towards more gradual/optional changes to game mechanics. How it works:

*Players 20-21 year olds will receive one additional year of development
*Players 22-23 year olds will receive two additional years of development
*Players 24+ will receive three additional years of development
*The “superflips” won’t age players extra or add decline

PRO – Current players under 30 will most closely resemble new players coming into the league.
CON – All players/teams won’t be impacted the same way – older players will change very little.

B

[SteveVesey]

I'm inclined to say B as well. In another one of my leagues, I started rebuilding right before the update... and I had multiple top draft picks that I'd drafted under the old system who never developed. I feel for anyone in those same shoes, & I think this is a way to play catch-up a little.

i also think B is a better choice , it will take the game much closer to what we once new

If your league is between 4/25 (draft drop) - 11/2: You are the clear cut ones - I suggest you pause at 11/1 - I'm keeping an eye on leagues, after the update you'd let league flip, I'll pause you, do the superflip, and let you know, and then you unpause.
