lol drafting already sucks since u cant camp or reverse in their rookie season. dont need to make it worse How does that affect drafting? And you can reverse in the first year. Can't camp. bc it lowers the value of firsts if there is a possibility they don't sign

but i'd expand the PD reversal system for younger guys without a doubt. maybe make it two reversals, one of which must be used while the player's 25 or younger.

There's really not supposed to be an 'upside'. It would be my answer to a lottery. So you want to tank and get a top 5 pick? Okay well here are 5 studs that could be organization changers, but select them at your own risk. There'd be more strategy involved in drafting. that is luck not strategy Ugh you're dense. The strategy comes into play if you want to make a safer pick or go for it. Let's say you've been rebuilding for 3-4 seasons and you went the safe route for those seasons, but you're ready to compete and if you land a nicer prospect it let's you make a bigger trade.

Can't camp. why can't you camp btw? we already know the game fucks youth up. i'd probably favor limitless reversals in the first year or two just annoying how hard it is to rebuild here w/ arbitrary PD hits. it's already hard enough to win without being a big spender.

the game 100% decimated my young core this year. you can't tell me that's about prospects not being guarantees. i had hits to: salazar, maholm, zobrist, melancon, maxwell, tabata, closser, sizemore, velez. pretty much all but two guys 26 and under who i was relying on took a major hit.

Where do you draw the line? Unlimited PDs for everyone under 25? Yeah not happening.

So you're going to ask for two this season. Next season it'll be three, etc etc etc. It's a slippery slope.

I really don't want to bump up the PD reversals.

I was actually going to go the other way and suggest we eliminate them all together. Would put all the players on a level playing field.

sorry, how does adding an additional, limited PD reversal have anything to do with a slippery slope to unlimited reversals? if you don't want unlimited reversals then we won't have any. but there's good reason to improve the current system.

Would put all the players on a level playing field. you can't seriously be talking about a level playing field smh you havent done anything about market disparities that make it so big market teams never have to rebuild. when i suggest a way to make rebuilding a more viable path for small market teams you're invoking a level playing field. ffs.

I mean you realize the reason why there are so many negative PDs is because we have PD reversals right?

I like the idea of stopping Mr to Sp. Just give me two years to finish my plan.

how about we just randomly kill 18 first round draft picks after the draft; that way we don't have to wait for bad pds each sim

Also no to the draft thing. Already hard enough to draft
