I made a system for my OD

Salary Cap! What to do to stop people from abusing it?
First we need a waiver wire that works. Second we need to set a system that is fair for everyone. Third we need to set a re-signing system that works.

Waiver wire:

The waiver wire will go from worse record and up. This way obviously the player that had the worse year would need more help. Oppose to someone who just went 19-0 they shouldn’t get first dibs on that beast QB.

If multiple teams have the same record we will look at their division record. Who had the worst record in their division. If they are identical we move on. We then will look who had the worst record in their conference. If that is still the same we move on to out of conference record.

If that is still the same then we will look to see who scored less points in the season. If by some chance that is the same then you and that person will play a game to determine who gets the 1st pick. If it is multiple teams well that is so low of a chance we will come to that if needed.

Free Agency:

We will set up a ranking system by rating on how many players you can sign in free agency.

This is still a work in progress but it’d look something like this

90-99 OVR: 1 per team

80-89 OVR: 2 per team

70-79 OVR: 3 per team

60-69 OVR: 4 per team

59-under OVR: no limit

What about Free Agency DURING the Season?

We will have a waiver wire set up so if you’re going to sign a player due to someone getting injured or your releasing someone to get someone else then you must say who you are going after and releasing. You MUST be releasing someone with equal value. You can’t release a 55 OVR player to snag up a 88 OVR player. MUST BE EQUAL VALUE! Does not have to be same rating but in the same range! For the 1st season the waiver wire will be based on last season’s performance. So Lions will get first dibs in the Free Agency during the pre-season.

What if there are a lot of holes I need to fill on my team? I suggest you have a great draft then or go after lower ranked players.

But Spade without a salary cap everyone will just resign their players to long contracts and the free agency will always be weak. Ah read on

Re-Signing Players:

You can not re-sign players during the year. You can only re-sign players at the designated off season time. If your caught re-signing/extending a contract your gone. No explaining or anything – your just gone. Plain and simple!
You can ONLY re-sign players to 3 year contracts. If it is a player that wants more – you must tell me. Failure to do so will result in you getting the axe.

Say you have 8 guys that are going into free agency if you do not resign them. 3 are over 90 4 are over 80 and 1 is 55. Well that is over the free agency limit since your only allowed 1 90-99 player and 2 80-89. So then you can only go after 79 and under players. However if it you resigned 3 80-89 players then you will still be able to go after 1 90-99 player in free agency but you will only be able to go after 2 70-79 players.

All players you are re-signing must go into a thread (we have a designated forum called The Wire) so we can know what you can pursue in Free Agency. Failure to do so – is the axe.

Enjoy!

That is what me and a few of my members came up with, maybe some of you could use that in yours...but I expect credit

[FadeEmAll]

Do you think the CPU will follow those rules?

[Kingspadee]

You realize that the CPU does not sign players till AFTER I sim to the next week. So by then most players will already have their pickings. And if the CPU snags up someone you were after then hell it's like the NFL. But as it is right now I don't have too many CPU teams.

I never said it was perfect but it sure in hell stops people from abusing it which is far worse than the CPU

[Kingspadee]

I was just trying to help out by showing people the idea my community came up with. Don't have to be a prick about it when someone is trying to help others out. I think it's kinda messed up for you to do so

[BigSuz77]

Ian dont forget playoff logos on the field during the playoffs. And I dont know if this is in or not but a real time Highlights section on the extra point review part. Cherry on the cake. Mel Kiper would be cool too. Do forget about presentation during the draft god dammit !!!

I wasn't trying to be a prick man, just trying to show that no salary cap or trade logic can not easily be circumvented. Your rules sound good, but the computer could screw that up by giving all the FAs your guys targeted bigger contracts. Therefore while you guys were picking specific targets and had set limits the CPU was having a FA orgy at the end on every season.
