boubabi 4,725 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) 2nd player is pretty shit anyway. Anyone who fairly approved this idea (or even brought it) lost total interest in the league or made shit 2nd player 2nd player is only valuable to total tpe whores (like me). When you put those member in your pocket, it screws the league. 2nd player rule should only be that allows you to create your next player early in your previous player career (like creating a 2nd player at your 7th season) Edited August 8, 2017 by boubabi Fire Tortorella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a GM your main concern should be for your team not your player. I think we are starting to see even more and more controversial and interesting decision from GM´s who also have 2nd player in the league. If you are a GM of a rebuilding team or any team, but also have a player in a team that could realistically win cup soon, losing with the team you are in control of as a GM wont be as bad as before. In the past it sucked a lot to lose, still does, but even more in the past with only 1 player, because the 1 player and team you controlled was the only sim action you got as a player or GM. Now you can check the scores and see things did not work out: Too bad, but then check the 2nd player and how he is doing, yayy on a pace to reach the playoffs! A lot easier to be part of a team that is up than a team that is struggling. Edited August 8, 2017 by jRuutu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make a move to benefit your player that screws over the team you GM then you're a shit GM and should be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that could be eliminated by just getting rid of 2nd players or putting some kind of hard TPE cap for them, 250 TPE at max. Users get to have their fun, but very few will keep that 250 tpe guy as their top player. In theory I kinda like the idea of 2nd player, but if this is how it works, not a fan.

On a small side note, I would love to see next that we try removing few teams. Even with 4 teams on both divisions, this league would be a lot more intense than it is now. LR´s would be more active, the rivalries between teams would be just insane compared to now when there would be a lot to be played for in each game.

boubabi 4,725 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 200 tpe limit is firstly boring, and with limit (like the vhlm bs limit) there's no incentive to be active. Therefore, this player brings nothing to the league. The real tweak should be : you cant do 2 pt per week. 1 pt or welfare claim that would be like 3 tpe.

VHLM is a different league though, I did not follow at all what happened there, but with as tight cap structure as we got here and a lot of top players, I don´t think it would be that bad.

boubabi 4,725 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 the cap doesn't mean much in the vhlm, as a player who earns top tpe during the season can go easily beast mode quite fast. So if you have a boosted team, adding top talents isn't that hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to both ways, clearly taking advantage of someone should be put into same category as a GM who wants to help his 2nd or 1st player to win in some other team.

I got an easy solution for that, don´t build a 2nd player if 200 tpe does not feel anything. Anyways, why is 1 player not enough? We got fairly quick seasons here, usually things go smoothly, why max 200 TPE fun player is not enough on top of that if you absolutely have to try something different?

boubabi 4,725 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The VHL is running because of a small group of individual. 2nd player is here to reward those players. Others are meant to ''ride the wave''. Lets be honest, helsinki didn't won because of the 2nd player system as all player in our team were created as 1st players (except darryl dortch who was a 2nd player) 2nd player will eventually bring more BS move like this, because people are now in a position to be a dick to other people's (especially gms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
