Owner a variety of teams
Modernize the game
August 12, 2012 at 06:56PM View BBCode
Simdynasty Baseball has to modernized, I am tired of the same 4-5 teams always in contention. Free Agency with a max of two player and depending on their grade would have a draft pick taken away. The loser can get up to a third round pick for losing the best of player or keeping him and losing another. This is great for the game and the the managers to get more involved and the winning stodgy owners to step up the games, It is harder and harder for teams to get renewed these past few seasons. Lets make this more fun.John Wilson

Maybe its time to move out of the dynasty leagues and find one that better fits what you're looking for. I think you'll find that most of the better speed leagues don't have the same 3-4 teams winning every year.

Thanks I will look into that but is it not at all a topic for the dynasty teams?

no, dynasty leagues don't get any varied rules or settings.

If all teams in Dynasty leagues are solid players, there can be a lot of parity

Some guys like the slower pace and stay in Dynasty and they tend to win a lot because they are more experienced, it's just the nature of the beast.

Dynasty leagues tend to be "feeder" leagues, new owners get their feet wet and if they are good at it generally want a faster pace so they move on to leagues with more gpd.Some guys like the slower pace and stay in Dynasty and they tend to win a lot because they are more experienced, it's just the nature of the beast.

I disagree. In the past year (6 seasons), there have been
an average of 40 replacments per season. That is for 46
leagues - less than 1 per league per season. In addition
some established owners are replacements. For example
in the current cycle, Bundy has taken 3 teams - is he not
a successful owner?
Take a look at the private/speed leagues looking for owners.
I think it is probable that many novice players take a
subscription - 2/3 months for $12 is about same as for
a dynasty team. The only advantage private leagues have
is that they have the option of filtering replacements with
passwords.
To somehow imply that a faster pace is better or attracts
better owners is an insult to the many owners who
prefer the 3 games per day pace. Many of them have
been active 3-4-6-8 years.
I object to the arrogance displayed by some (not all)
private owners to dynasty owners.

Of course that won't happen but if you really think saying things like: "generally want a faster pace" and "Some guys like the slower pace and stay in Dynasty and they tend to win a lot because they are more experienced" is arrogance and an insult to you then so be it.

I think you need to read my post again, then look up the definition of arrogance, then apologize.Of course that won't happen but if you really think saying things like: "generally want a faster pace" and "Some guys like the slower pace and stay in Dynasty and they tend to win a lot because they are more experienced" is arrogance and an insult to you then so be it.

I don't know how good all of that really is, but it seems impressive to me for a league that only plays 6 seasons in a calendar year.

if anyone wants to get into a challenging dynasty league, you might try holding out for an opening in the Mickey Mantle League. Just 2 new owners in the past 13 seasons. 9 of the 16 current owners have won at least one title in the league (and a team with arguably the most talent in the league could become the 10th as soon as this upcoming season). All 8 of the NL's owners have been to the World Series, and only 2 owners in the entire league have yet to reach the playoffs.I don't know how good all of that really is, but it seems impressive to me for a league that only plays 6 seasons in a calendar year.

1) 1 replacement team per league per season is a lot. there are something like 91 speed/salary/edit leagues on the site. currently there are 35 replacement teams available. that is a far better ratio, particularly given the faster pace of those leagues.
2) the ability to password protect signups is a pretty significant difference.
3) 3 gpd plays, if i recall correctly, about 6 seasons per year. three years at that level will give someone 18 seasons of experience. judged against someone just coming out of trial leagues that is a siginificant experiential advantage. a 12 gpd league though, being 4 times faster, would play roughly 64 seasons over that 3 year period which would provide a signifciant experiential advantage over dynasty. (the math there may be less that accurate but the underlying point i think is fair.)
4) i've played both for significant periods. dynasty is easier. mainly it's easier because of the turnover. the lesser teams aren't able to put together a long-term plan because they tend to have a new owner every 2-3 years. that lets those teams that remain under one owner who do have a long-term plan use it to their advantage. that doesn't mean that there aren't very good owners who play dynasty. it just means that those owners have an easier time dominating there. understanding (and stating) the truth of that does not make someone arrogant or mean that they are insulting dynasty owners.
5) inferiority complexes are not attractive. (see, that's arrogant.)

I understand, I'm just saying there are some dynasty leagues that are incredibly competitive, the GGL I'm in right now, our newest owner joined in the 1984 season, it's now 1991, we don't have any original 1950 owners remaining but a lot of guys who have been there for a long timePages: 1
