Senior Admin Will 4,660 Posted February 21, 2017 Senior Admin Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm still on the fence about it, don't have a strong opinion. How does everyone feel about it and for those that want it, how do you envision depreciation/contract structure changing? doesn't seem like it on first thought but it is a big change, would definitely require planning and consideration. 10 seasons would probably be the way to go if anything. There has also been some talk about speeding up the regular season a bit, nothing too crazy but if career length were to increase it might be viable to speed up the regular season slightly. Interested to hear some more in-depth thoughts on this. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/38040-increase-career-length/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan036 4,603 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Absolutely not, league would become even more stale. Drafts would be worse, and how much fun is it for the rest of the league if the O'Malleys of the world continue to tear it up year after year and win cup after cup. Need to keep the new blood flowing. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/38040-increase-career-length/#findComment-415091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafts would be worse, and how much fun is it for the rest of the league if the O'Malleys of the world continue to tear it up year after year and win cup after cup. Need to keep the new blood flowing. How much worse would drafts actually be? I'd like to see some evidence to support that, because remember there is nothing that is making 10 seasons mandatory for members. I think depending on how you handle depreciation, and I think if we were to do it depreciation would have to hit hard in those final two seasons, the last one especially. I'm not against doing this, there seems to be a group of people in the league who really want to push their players careers past eight. For some it feels like they just get into their prime in season 4 and suddenly it's depreciation and then retirement. I don't know if I'd push my players past eight, I'd have to see when I get there but for those that do, I don't see it as a huge deal. In terms of envisioning how it may look in terms of depreciation and salary, I'd say for a depreciation bracket why not go 1-6 No depreciation (give that extra prime season that value) 7 - 3% 8 - 5% 9 - 8% 10 - 10% As for salary I think it wouldn't be that tough to figure out. We could either add a bracket for the 9/10 seasons, or just extend the veteran status into the 9/10 seasons. Realistically with that hard of a depreciation only a TPE whore would get value out of it. On the plus side this would add some value to the player store purchases targeting depreciation for the players who need it as well. I also think lowering the depreciation for 7/8 by removing 6 and then re adjusting the scale makes the most sense since we'd still encourage people to have 8 seasons careers at most, with just the option to go that 9/10.

Need to keep the new blood flowing. An O'Malley would get crippled by a harsher depreciation scale, assuming we handle that right. I have no issue with it, but I'd like to see how the league feels about it first. Make sure this is actually what the members want before we implement it. My only stipulation is that you seal the old record books and have a new set for post expansion.

While I think longer careers would be nice, I don't think we should necessarily try to tailor a new depreciation schedule to allow a player in their 9th season to be about where a player in their 7th season would be now. I think when I had previously proposed this idea, I was envisioning something like 10% in the 9th season, and 13% in the 10th season. Harsh, I suppose, but that's the price you pay with taking the longer career. I don't think players should be improving all the way until the end of their career if they don't retire early. There should be some period of decline in there. EDIT: Actually, I just went back and found it, and I was even harsher than that. I said 13%, 19%, and 25% for the 9th, 10th, and 11th seasons. For anyone curious to see (what I believe is) the most recent large-scale discussion on the matter, here it is.

scoop 3,432 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I had also posted somewhere in that thread the idea to disallow banking TPE for players who play beyond eight seasons. Or perhaps we could limit it. Another idea would be to institute a skill cap for players beyond their eight season. Maybe starting in their 9th season, they can't go about 92 in any attribute, and starting in their 10th season they can't go above 85. Just a couple ideas to keep the O'Malleys of the world from remaining as top players, though a harsh 13% in the 9th season and even harsher beyond that should already theoretically take care of that.

Higgins 3,618 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I like the 8 season career but I also like the option of a 10 season career... I'd love to continue with players longer but I also like creating new players.

So basically no. This. Even at 8 seasons players are becoming less and less relevant, anything past that they would be borederline useless and purely for sentimental value. I'm all for the sentiment but it fucks up our records and still creates the possibility (although unlikely) of creating one unstoppable player. I think 8 seasons is plenty, no reason to go above that.

TheLastOlympian07 2,388 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 i think that should be the biggest change if anything. like how the SBA works. if a prospects doesnt reach the 175 tpe plateau or what they shouldnt be draft eligible or whatever because they arent vhl ready. they shouldnt be punished by wasting a year of their potential VHL career by staying in the VHLM. also #TLOFORBOG Corco and Molholt 2 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/38040-increase-career-length/#findComment-415485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
