Gonna be completely honest, the creation draft is a god awful idea. Do you have any idea how many people picked their teams based on the rosters from 2010-11 real life? I know I did. Who the hell wants to run the Lakers with no Kobe? Also, the creation draft takes way too long in itself

24 days to run a regular season is a joke lol. At this point in time, I never thought I'd say this but that 10 day sims every day option is looking more and more enticing by the second considering the direction this league appears to be headed

These 2 things gotta be fixed before this league has any chance of getting off the ground

Why would people pick their team based on the current rosters when we said from the beginning that it would be a creation draft? Seems like a personal problem to me.

Because nobody in their right mind would assume that a successful FBB league would start with a creation draft. Hard to keep people signed up if the league is struggling just to get going

I guess the league isn't for the vast majority of people here then. I think most people just want to pick their teams and start trading

And we can let other people make that decision for themselves.

But you also need to understand that we arent trying to run a sim that is the same as the others currently going. That would lose the interest of all the SI people
This is the part that I cannot understand. Why try so hard to be different just because you want to please some SI members? How about just stick with what actually works and tweak where needed

Because this is an attempt at revitalizing the SI League, not just creating a third sim league that is uninvolved with the rest of the site. It's not "just to be different". This is how we've always done our leagues. If you don't like it, there's two other options to take part in.

No I'm fine with participating in this, just not gonna be surprised when it unfolds the way that I'm expecting it to and I'm not alone in that aspect. But I'll at least give you a chance to prove that you know what you're doing before making a final judgement on this

Takes all the fun out if I gotta Coach the current day bulls I can watch TV for that. So basically "who's your favorite team" instead of "who's your top 5 and to make it edgy top 5s subs" if that makes any sense.
