5 is just so easy.

I'd join

and I prefer 5...never done 8, are there some significant improvements, or is it just more in depth?

There are certainly some improvements. Much more realistic ratings system, guys don't take random PD hits in the prime of their careers like in 5, etc. Really in depth though. Tons of new features we'd probably never use, like a part devoted to watching talent from around the world and trying to recruit guys like Ichiro to the US. I think it would mostly be learning everything which would take some time.

And my plan is to not take a team to focus my time on running the league. So if we went with 5 I'd be completely fine with making changes for whoever needs them made.

5 can be fun with the right GMs and the right rules.

Thatd be cool.

Ya I figure if we have the same general core as originally 5 wouldn't be a problem. It was great then. And if Jeremy joins we'll have some good arguments.

I still like the franchise player locked talents idea I had from the last version.

1 player on your team is your franchise guy. His talents are locked. Cant trade him. Can only change your Franchise player in the offseason.

Maybe every 200 posts give you 1 mill in cash?

Maybe contraction? Go down to 20 teams? Might be cool.

If we end up with a few of the good GMs we had from before that aren't here (which I figure will sign up if I advertise on GABL), any reward plan like that will probably be shat on. I'll definitely try though.

Franchise player was something I liked but couldn't get enough support for. I'll try it again.

This is interesting, I don't care as much about being historically accurate as the guys at GABL do. Could make creating draft classes easier too.

People would complain about PDs and then say the Franchise Player was a bad idea.
