2076 Season Thread... Rule #5: The Ducks are Goooooood

[GeorgesGoons]

A 20 page season thread, this is eff'n pathetic. Maybe we should just have 30 offline leagues

I noticed the same thing 20 pages could be a NDLB low.

I apologise, been moving and Nick and I haven't had our normal 3 pages of back and forth by now.....

BTW, Nick you suck!

I’m the goat

Debatable

Villeneuva looks decent though....I hope he blows out his arm right after you give him $25m a year for 5+ years

Maybe we should turn off scouts next?

I can't ever remember the AL playoff races being so boring. The most excitement is to see if the AL West team can reach .500. Big sim for RI to get there this week.

NL is set as well it seems playoff wise. I think we add 2 more teams or up injurys. Expansion draft would be fun.

What's the biggest difference you think in the 70 page seasons and these 20 something seasons?

Competitive balance?
Less active owners coming in to the league over the years?

Is there anything for you long timers that maybe stands out? The amount of changes made have to have something to do with it. Every draft pick gets signed, no coaches, low injuries, no draft pick trading....they all equate to less interaction. If you can go a week without exporting and not miss a beat, what's the point?

there was a year we had 111 pages. holy fuck i can only imagine what i said in there

@niddler if NDLB had a stock this would be the time to invest.

Some of this is true. Half the league try's. Half the league going for that number 1 pick.

And the half you think is going for the #1 may be trying but it hasn't worked.

I'm definitely not trying for the 1st pick. I'll just make a couple of signings each year till my AA guys grow enough to start in the majors. I have one guy in AAA that could play this year but it's not worth wasting an ARB year on half a season so he'll get his shit at ROY next season. And then Video will get a shot in 2 years

I was hoping to get up to 65 wins this season. At this point I'll be happy with 45.

To be honest if you look at exports we are as active as ever and the quality of owners is as good as ever. There isn’t a league rule. What it come down to is a lot of new guys who come in and become really good owners just don’t post much. That combined with many long time owners who never post any more. It’s just extremely rare to find new owners who will love forums and actively post.

Love Cline.... Should be one of the best in a few season's.

I do agree with that. Many of the new guys comeing in have been good owners. Hey Redwing blow it up lets see what you do with out ted's guys haha. Worth a try.

Sometimes I wonder if he would have done it in Seattle then I think of The ghost of Warner Woods.
