No reason to care about a sim league much when you are expected to have fun losing by 5-10 goals a game most of the time if you are in the bottom half of the league, or when you are a goalie with no real impact, or a defenseman trying to do anything specific really. There are so many options to try things to revamp things, but currently, parity is viewed as the opportunity to become the juggernaut, when imo it should be about making sure more teams are more involved and having more fun. This is a community site, and a casual hobby for most people, expecting someone who gets drafted to a rebuild as a new user to keep updating without fail for over a year before they have any results at all to enjoy is unreasonable. And not only that but you also force them to sit on the TPE they earn for months as well!

Realistically, if you just give every new create 500 TPE instead of 155, remove the TPE cap, and push regression up some more, is the league immediately in a better state? And there are like 1000 other things we could do to the update scale, regression, TPE growth, PTs and other money/tpe sources, archtypes, contract tiers and cap, etc. etc. But no one wants to change the way the site works on the sim side, and the media side is about the same really.

I think you missed the mark with this one, honestly. I mean those are some pretty absurd suggestions.
