  1. 100% agreed. Has been a problem for too long. I’ll take a 6 mouths all-star account if this is done.
  2. Hi everyone, I was looking for a challenge and took over the Valkyries to see if I could break the curse. I did and would appreciate if no one take over the new team (Coza Del whatever,1st in SHL). Thanks. Nicolas Senet
  3. To Jusatin: You seem pretty proud of yourself. You make a link between "Nicolas Senet" and "Camille Senay". You must be a genius. Please tell us who killed JFK? Who build the pyramids? What is the meaning of life? How can I join the Jusatin church? Poor Jusatin. I quit the game because it got too easy for me after the latest updates. I guess that's where you would write something about my trades, which would only show how you know little about this game (for how long have you been stuck in SHL?). So, because I have very little to learn about this game anymore and that I just don't see the point of winning over and over again, you won't have to use your precious mind to look what account I'm using anymore and can try to just get this game. You still have a lot of work to achieve that. Nicolas Senet
  4. I see very little action on the forum about this world and would like to know if people enjoy this world. I would like to read your comments.

    Just want to point out I tried to solve this issue out of the fuorum but it isn't the "Jusatin way" To Jusatin: I'm deeply sorry and from now on I'll will start everyone off my post with a "Hi I'm Nicolas Senet and I have been reported by my fellow managers from the past". I really didn't understand that I should warn other manager that their mind may get corrupted by every tip or explanation I'm giving so everyone can enjoy this game. I'll behave better from now on. Thanks for bringing this topic to the next level. You are actually the inspiration about my topic to create an open-trade world. You are a great inspiration to me. Again, great job on being a moderator on this forum. Don't bother reporting me. This was my final post on this forum. Anyone that want a tip or a hint can PM me or send me a message. Nicolas Senet
  6. Since players happiness has changed lately, it's hazardous to give an answer to your question but I have a serious doubt it does because it's easy to put a player on and off the trade block (would make it hard for the system to deal with permanent changes). Not impossible but probably not. Nicolas Senet

    To Kummo: Again, Anders is the best person to give you an answer about this but ... I had the same experience a little while ago so I'm not really sure if there has been any changes since. The value of a player (green, blue, yellow) can change a little between the time you make your offer and the time the offer is accepted (for example: your player gets a +1 in stats). When you do lots of trades, chances are this happens once a while and that it adds up to lead to an automatic lock. There is no way you can know exactly where you are in this automatic lock process and I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have such a system. When you do lots of trades, you have to keep in mind that this may happen and be careful about it.

    To Kummo: I might be wrong but could it be because of too many unbalanced trades (yellow-orange window on the bottom of the trading offer, no accusation here)? There is an automatic lock if you do too many of those kind of trade and has nothing to do with cheating reports. Write to Anders to be sure.

    I'm the new manager of the Collegeville Rhinos. I just want to point out that Koekefix and I have found an agreement so my team gets back last year second draft pick. Even if he didn't had to, Koekefix have been more than fair regarding this event and clearly have this world and community at heart. I hope we can put this behind us and all enjoy this great game altogether. Nicolas Senet To Koekefix: Thanks. I would have posted our PM but I never got how to do it. I think this post should do it but feel free to PM if you get any problem regarding this trade.

    Collegeville Rhinos: Pretty much everyone is available except for Canela, Trotta, Reed, Yu and Widmer (and who knows, if the offer is right). I'm looking for prospects and draft picks (lower salary cap). Have a good season. Nicolas Senet

    Using the salary cap isn't a bad idea, since it also have an influence on free agents. Abuse seems to be often the result of a trade involving many players of lower value for a greater player. Nothing new about that but solving this problem would solve many cases of abuse. The other main source of abuse are the draft pick, especially the ones in GHL and promoted SHL pick. Those shouldn't be available for trade from a computer team. I agreed there may be easier ways than a major chance in the game system. Nicolas Senet

    What seems to be the main problem with abusive trades is that the manager may benefit from an abusive trade for seasons, so what is a 2 day suspension (if the manager gets suspended) for seasons with an all-star player? So the main problem is that there is no system now to reverse an abusive trade. Anders doesn't want to deal with that and I think we can understand it would put him in a difficult situation and would be to much management. So, how we deal with that? The voting system seems to be a good idea and the trading status (team info) may not be used to his full potential. Here's an idea. Why isn't it a buffer time in which a trade could be reversed if there is many disapproved votes? 2 games? 5 games? Whatever. The trade is done and completed but, using a similar system than the one that leads to being suspended, the trade can be reversed. And to prevent doing abusive trades over and over again, the trading status may change trading option of an "abusive manager" so it becomes more and more restrictive. I know it isn't perfect and similar systems have ended to being a major problem in other simulation games, but we will have to make a choice eventually between having a voting system, that can lead to some abuse, and a automatic system, that can lead to some abuse too. I do trust managers more that a automatic system, but that's just me. I did a quick try in Mitts lately. Computer trading seems to be a lot more difficult. That should be a major improvement toward this problem. Nicolas Senet
  13. Off limits. Has been traded at low price to get anything (better than nothing).
  14. Ok, but I'm asking to be exempted concerning S.Young (82 overall) that I traded in the last day when I saw that the bug wouldn't be fixed in time. He is playing for York GHL.
  15. There will be a lot of bot teams next season in GHL and there is one or two thing that should be cleared out before next season. - I would go for no trade for the 5 first picks. Top 4 seems really strong this season. Just too easy. - The "fair play" criteria is too subjective. For a 1st round pick, I think the player shouldn't be over 32 years old and under 90 overall average. Should be a 1 for 1 (no 2 or 3 players involve for 1 prospect). - Question: Do we allow SHL team to trade for GHL 1st round pick? It could help SHL teams to rise more easily, but is a limit a 1 first round pick per team should be fixed? What do you think?
  16. So far, I doubt that AI will sendyou an offer involving picks or prospect. AI rend to send you offer related to your needs and prospects rights and draft aren't an option.
  17. I don't think the gentlemanly rule will work because it just take a new player that wants to screw up a world (happened in other worlds) to destroy any deal between players. And it takes less than 24h. I think it worth a try but doesn't seem to work. Anders fix didn't really made trades with bots lot harder. I'm sure that Anders Will come up with something more signification eventually. While it happens, I would prefer an open world were the best offer wins. I can tell that trying to guess who is going to win in SHL is fun too. I know it is against the spirit of draft switch but, let's face it, Mitts is interesting for only a few players because it's really time consuming if you want to be one of the best teams (tactics, injuries, trades) so we will have lot of bots team for a while, even more in SHL. So, for now, I think the best way to deal with this is to come back as it was before and make everything available to anyone. I also think that the limits of an abuse of the drafting system will appear in a few seasons. How many great players have been drafted so far? 2? 5? 10? Drafting helps trading and trading is limited by the salary cap. I honestly don't another fair way to deal with this.
  18. And the problem will remains the same: what if a player don't read the forum or just don't care?
  19. 5 bots teams isn't full. It's 1/3 of the league.
  20. And Wynyard now has four 1st draft picks. Now, I ask: do we keep it?
  21. Another 1st round pick has been traded. I'm not asking since I don't need to.
  22. I do agree. And again, want to put some perspective to my choices. Year 1 after the trading system: two experienced players of this league trade for bots teams first draft in the middle of the night. I didn't even knew the drafting system has started yet. The only potential easy-to-get 1st round draft picks left are the ones from SHL. I start to trade for those. Year 2. I won't let my chance go this year and make some offers right after the season turnover. I don't know if I didn't get opposition or just made better offer but I get 2 first draft pick and 3 SHL first picks. I don't trade for season 1 first pick because the manager is in vacation and it seems unfair (and we already have an history). I don't remember if it is before or after the gentlemanly rule, but the first draft pick is exchanged early in the season. I posted on this forum before last year playoffs if we keep the same gentlemanly rule or change it. Not a single answer. I asked for an advice to one of the experienced player of this world about this potential problem and got an answer that Anders fix should solve this and that there was need for an update of the rule. What's funny (or not) is that I do the exact same thing as most of the top players of this league do, respect this game rules, gentlemanly or official, give the opportunity to prevent this situation and it still doesn't seem to be right. And two bots first draft picks have been traded singe the actual season has started. Hard to get the spirit of an agreement if it's different for everyone and we don't agree on something before it happens. From the player who hardly can write a post without getting a comment about this problem.
  23. Season is ending soon so I understand that we keep the same rules for next season? Before next draft, that I'm expecting to bring some frustration, I want to bring a little perspective on the impact on drafting for the next season. If we take a look at the 15 first draft picks or best prospects, there is Mee, who has a +3, a few plus +2 but mainly +1 eventually maybe +2. How interesting would have been a 19 yo gifted loyal with a 76 overall before the drafting system? Not that interesting. I don't know how the league will evolve but I don't expect a revolution based on this year or next year draft. I've been really lucky with the choices I've made in the beginning of the season and have made a important trade mid season so I will have at least 4 first round picks. I stopped trading as soon has the gentlemanly rules has been accepted except for a draft pick exchange with an experienced player from GHL. Just want to explain before this year data disappears.
  24. SHL draft pick have a higher value. That's for sure.
  25. Since a fix has been made about computer trade which was the core of the problem, does the gentleman rule is still necessary? Do we Just keep the rule about SHL draft picks?
