I don't know how some people do well and can participate in this shit actively without emotions of any kind. It's mind boggling. It's like if you aren't showing emotions, then you don't care about this shit that much. And if this isn't something a GM here is really passionate about then what are they passionate about? Most people dont get that emotionally invested in a game...they laugh, troll and have fun.

bro, seriously, look at your competition. you are too attached to players you have man crushes on. you have several players below replacement. How do you avoid the attachments to certain players? You get them, you spend to improve them and then it's like you pray that nothing bad happens. If I'm not attached to them, then I don't give a shit about them. I can't find a middle ground. I've tried, but right now I simply can't find it. you get attached to them too much. You get attached to them before spending $1 on them and plus who cares how much you've spent on a player if there's something better...like wtf. why stay complacent

If I'm not attached to them, then I don't give a shit about them. I can't find a middle ground. I've tried, but right now I simply can't find it. it's simple, don't trade for mediocre players that won't help you long term. Stop making so many trades. Build a real farm system, patience....also targeting players that will thrive in your park helps. Some of these teams starting out really loaded, some didn't. You have to strike when you have a solid core. Yup...well said.
