2024/2025 Suggestions Summary/Discussion

[GoIrish]

-24 Hour Rule On Waivers/FAs After Deadline

I have no issues with moving this to 12 hours. With the schedule becoming more compact after the trade deadline, this would make sense.

-Drafting for Other GMs

I really don't understand why people have such an issue with this. I understand that some people may draft better than others but if someone has a real life issue come up and cannot be present for the draft. Why screw them with being auto-selected? Yes, you can compile a list but not all real life issues happen in an advanced timely manor, plans change and the virtual world stuff needs to be put on the back burner for those individuals.

I agree that if someone does not show, does not submit a list that they should be auto-selected but I just feel for people that have an issue come up and they ask someone to help, that should be accepted.

-Career Window Starting with April

I am against it, I hate as it is to go in there to edit contract numbers or making them a draft day contract etc. I would not want to dwell into that any deeper than what we have to.

Hokey's Suggestions: Relocation, Realignment, Expanded Playoffs

re-alignment cannot be done. if as a league we shift to Mogul 13 when it comes out. Then yes, we can take that into account with the expandaded playoffs. So no real need to work on that now.

Reloaction, I am all for it if it makes sense. We have seen it in real life with Montreal going to DC and we have seen it happen in other professional sports. So it is not something that does not happen without purpose. However, the move to me would have to A) make sense and B) be realistic. Just moving to move would not fly with me. however a mid/small market moving to a larger market would make sense to me.

-Draft Pick Compensation

I really don't think Mogul 11 is set up well for us to change this. You say that in the sandwich round we will fill the non-compensated picks with the lowest peak players, but what if one of those players are a late round prospect of a team? Then we will have to listen to that complaint. I would file this change with re-alignment. Hopefully that is something that we can achieve if it is available in Mogul 13 and we make the switch from Mogul 11.

5) Competitive Balance Lottery

I am against this, you can rebuild your team if you put the time and effort into it. We have seen Peter make the playoffs this season, PS win the series this year and Matty make the playoffs again.


-One Game Playoffs

I have no issues with this, however, the problem you have is that mogul automatically does this game when you hit "sim to playoffs" on that last sim as this play-in game is an extra regular season game. So you would need to sim to the date of the last day of the year.

League Controlled Teams

I think that worked out well, LAD became a much better team through the 1 draft and FA period that Andy was able to control them. It makes the league more balanced and makes open teams more attractive to new potential owners.
