Remove VHLM Career Years

[Bring Back Player 2 (Tri) 1,504]

What I mean is if a player is in the VHL and can't make it in one season to go up, don't let it count against his 8 full seasons.

Fully supportive of this.  It shouldn't be a punishment to play in the VHLM

Thisssssssssss

[Kendrick 4,218]

Not a bad thing to look at given how much TPE you can make per week

[Beaviss 924]

You shouldn’t penalize a player for how long it takes for them to make the VHL

[Beerfridge 32]

I fully support this idea as I'm probably the most affected by this

[Will 3,369]

I suggested this fairly recently in the BOG as we were talking about career extensions and stuff

 

I don't think anyone was against it. 

[Banackock 1,167]

100% for it.

Wasn't the counter argument for this back then was they didn't want people to spend years in the VHLM and stocking up on TPE before going into VHL?

I like how the SBA does it - your NCAA seasons don't count toward your players "age," but there's a hard cap of 199 TPE. If you go over 199 or finish your fourth season, you're auto-entered into the upcoming draft.

This is mainly for those people like first gens who come in with 30 TPE. Those who don't want to spend years in the VHLM will know how to get out of there when they need to get out. Or they could always talk to their GM about playing up.

[Kendrick 4,218]

They would be capped too. So as soon as you hit a certain mark, you go to the VHL and cant bank anything more

[diamond_ace 877]

I like this idea

[STZ 3,214]

This is a good idea. SBA uses this system but I believe it is limited to 4 seasons in the “minors”.. Good system tbh.

@Will @Beketov @Devise @JardyB10 maybe this can be implemented this off-season for those currently in the VHLM? No one has posted against it and we all know it would be very helpful for those who have to stay another season. This way those members can enjoy the full 8 seasons instead of just 7.

[troy 5]

do this pls

[MWHazard 71]

Yeah. I’d really like this to be implemented.

[hedgehog337 1,414]

stop fighting and implement this instead @Will @Beketov @sterling

[sterling 1,734]

Sounds like a good idea to me, especially for newer or lower earning members.

[tfong 787]

So what happens if someone decides to stay in the VHLM for 1 below cap forever?

Why would they want to?

Then he's a VHLM forever player. or just put a 3-5 season limit to this.

To beat Tyler Vassel records? Do it for fun? For lolz? For stats? Or simply because it could be @BluObieZ ? or whatever Anderson? I mean wasn't this a point of contention when it was originally asked back in like...pre-S20 or something?

See above. Putting limitation just limits the damage. Or you can time it to cap -1, wait till new season starts then go again and have cap+entire season then start in VHL with like 400-500 starting TPE?

[sterling 1,734]

Well presumably the only way this would happen is if the person went inactive and if they are inactive they should be auto-retired after so many seasons anyway. It wouldn't be very common to have a member chose to stay in the minors while staying active on the boards and not collecting welfare or doing point tasks.

What happens if they do this? Then they do this. So be it. It doesn't break the league to let people enjoy things.
