Sorry if I have a life outside of Mogul and rushed a bid that was on one of my players.Why do you think i corrected the situation so quickly. It makes sense to bow out (and in my cases it wouldnt have even mattered anyway since they were outbid as Im excluding Goose from this discussion as it is moot). Why should someone have to sacrfice there pick if some otehr bids didnt pan out like they thought they were going to. That is far from how it works in real life. After Reagan and Cruz got too high it made no sense to keep my bid for Vaio (which ended up gettnbg outbid anyway). You are saying a team should suffer simply because due to our FA bidding auction and how you have ot bid on multiple guys at once. It happens less than 1% of the time thorughout 20+ seasons here. Its far from a propblem, and is more of a specific situational thing which makes absolute sense. Ducking out on normal guys and being puissed off I can see that, but when it comes to compensated players there has to be some leeway or change the bidding system on compensated players, one of the two.
As far suggestions for rules 2 and 3 go. I like them Matty. So +1 for me on those accounts.
Bringing up the typical "Sorry if I have a life outside of Mogul" thing, I love it when people bring this up. Everybody has a life outside of mogul, please spare me with your reasoning. And you rushed and senselessly bid on a player, making people not be able to bow out of deals, will make the whole system work better, make people liable for their actions, instead of getting away scotch free. You can think it's a problem or not, I really don't care. It is a problem and has been one. All I know is if DJ can think there is a problem with the file(when there isn't) but doesn't think this is a problem, then fine, but I won't be a part of the league after the 2024 season. And if DJ wants to replace me before then, more power to him, he just needs to let me know. I just have a huge problem with people bowing out of bids. I should just bid 10 years and 50 million per year on a player and then say oooppss I don't have the money for it, my bad, silly me, I am going to bow out and if someone says something then I will be like, "Sorry if I have a life outside of Mogul" that seems to work real well...
