HOF Careers

[AndyP]

Nothing binding here, just curious.

Option 1: Bump Peak End from +20% to +30%.  This is mogul's way of extending careers a bit.  We've had this setting since we moved to Mogul '11.  I don't know how impactful it will be, sometimes these things in mogul can be more window dressing than truly effective.

Option 2: Uncheck Sanity Checks.  This would mean that players with elite vitals might be more likely to put up crazy statistical years.  99 power might result in 60 bombs rather than mogul artificially narrowing it down to 45 to keep things in balance.  Can't say I know how this will play out either, but it (hypothetically, based on Clay's coding prowess) would allow more uniqueness.

Option 3: WB stays the exact same except for one change: we originally had the bumps effect predicteds (which is more of a steroid bump directly to the player's abilities) but moved to peaks because that just gives more upside and room for growth.  We changed because it was felt like this over-inflated talent for cash, but with cash more in hand it could be less impactful.  (This could come with a host of other changes too - maybe 1 or 2 slots only with 15-20M at cost)

Option 4: Shut up Andy, do nothing.

I'd vote for both 1+3 or 2+3, with 1+3 being the better choice imo. If you move WB bumps to vitals rather than peak, giving that extra longevity might give the best of both worlds.

I am willing to Vote for 1, 2, and/or 3

Thinking it over, I don't think we should do anything.

1. Bump Peak End %: I think you hit the nail on the head. It may be more window dressing, than truly effective. If Mogul gives the career backup a boost to a 25-34 peak, but still keeps the star player at a 25-27 peak, then we've accomplished nothing. I think there's just too much randomness involved on this one.

2. Uncheck Sanity Checks: I'd be most alright with this one. It will allow for some more unique builds to happen down the line, but I think it'll take some years before we see the effects of this one.

3. Change WB back to Predicteds: I much prefer WB going to peak, instead of predicteds. When WB was done with predicteds, it seemed that we had a lot more random drops. That could potentially kill some HOF careers.

If people simply adjust their HOF voting to not require real life milestones/stats and align them more with Mogul/FCM careers, then we'd be fine. Even if the voting stays the same, we're now doing the Vet Committee voting. I think that already solves our HOF Careers problem.

Agree completely with Matty. I think if we don't get a league majority on any of these, we don't change anything. And that's even a lower threshold than getting into the HOF.

Uncheck Sanity, because like in real life you have those random years where a player just goes off like an Aaron Judge with 60 homers. Right now its pretty consistently 45 homers is the most. Would be nice to see a 60.
