I agree with you on all points. I don't like that some teams have been dominating for some seasons now. But the biggest problem I've have with it is just  how long irl it has been.

Shortening the regular season in half would be a good start. Would earn another 3 or so seasons in a calendar year on that change alone.

i think this speaks to the core of the issue. Dunking 25% on S54 and S53 wouldnt be half as bad if they had started these players in January. Faster seasons would be a great alternative to the current problem, and gives us more data to work with in terms of where the issues actually lie. It's contracts, wait no it's testing wait no its regression hold on this will definitely fix it. That pitfall is present for each one of us

@RomanesEuntDomus You had mentioned that S50-55 are benefiting from a system no one had the pleasure of enjoying themselves (beating up on rookies) and I think that's a great perspective to bring to the conversation.

However, to what degree does it matter what happened before S50? I hope i'm not being too rude when i say that it was over 2 years ago. This league is not the same as it was when i joined and when i joined it was not the same as it was 2 years prior. Again, the length of seasons rears it's ugly head. I understand that maybe S53/54 may sound selfish when their opportunity to dominate was taken away but...that's what has been happening for awhile now. We switched in like S53 right? I will remind the court that march will mark 2 years since the offseason for S53 began.

How many new users have joined the site in 2 years? This is their reality, but it sounds like some of the counter-arguments are "Well STHS was like this, so lets go back". What if we didnt go back?

You are absolutely right that how good someone had or didn't have it 15 seasons ago shouldn't matter. But it wasn't me who brought the comparison to the older classes into this discussion, it was the people who are upset about the changes. I don't really care how good my player had it in S48 compared to someone in S62, but the core argument brought up by a lot of people was the comparison of their peaks under the new system to the peaks of the players that came before them, hence why I adressed that. I didn't insert my own player into this discussion either, he was brought up by someone who tried to use his example to counter my arguments.
