Just for the sake of an informed discussion, could some of the people who are opposed to increasing the length of the regular season give thoughts as to why they're opposed?

My main reason for voting 50 was that I like being able to compare stats to the greats who played 50 games, as well as the fact that I feel like a 70 game season will start to get stale at a certain point in the season - people already get antsy after 40 games when we only play 50.

I'm not necessarily tied to that opinion, I could go either way.

While I'm not entirely opposed to an increase in games played, I feel like 50 game seasons are something that makes the SHL unique. Don't really see a pressing need to increase games played.

Dragging the season out isn't gonna make it any more fun. It's not like people enjoy PGS / PBP during the regular season. 50 games seems just right with the amount of teams we have. It's kinda stupid how many times you play the same teams in GOMHL so that's a bad example. SBA it kinda works but it's a different sport and you only get a sim every other day...

You also screw the records and lose consistency for history keeping

You are going to fuck up the legitimacy of season to season comparisons and careers because of the amount of extra points new players will be able to get over old.

What's the benefit? 70 games isn't even the NHL amount.

I don't see a compelling reason to change; that's really my only opposition to it.

We didn't say we were going to implement this. It is just one of many ideas we are bantering around in HO to try and improve the SHL experience. Many people had asked for a comparable NHL schedule for a comparison to real NHL players so we discussed it a bit and thought we'd see where the league's head was at on it. Ideas that people have are being discussed and will continue to be and brought up to the league if we think it needs to. Personally I think it should be exact same as NHL or 50 but in talking with simmers it made for unbalanced schedule.

76 is only 6 off of 82, and it's significantly closer than 50 is.

The main thing is that right now we have a 3-3.5 week regular season, 2 weeks for playoffs, and (occasionally even 3 weeks) for off-season. If a team misses the playoffs, then their players have essentially nothing to do for more than 50% of their time on the site.

Increasing to 76+ games would give about 5 - 5.5 week long regular seasons, which means that everyone would get at least 60% of their site time getting to see sims.

Hell, the typical worst period of activity that I see is around 20-40 games. That middle of the season is hell because you have one PT, you can do media but few do that, and that's about it. That's when people start disappearing because they're just flat out bored as hell. With this, we'd elongate that period, make it 30-60 that they're feeling bored and that's a good two weeks of it rather than one week.

While seeing your player play is very much the focus, it's also not everyone's favorite thing. If you're on a bad team, you're likely going to give up during the season. We make the bad teams long ass seasons longer and more players leave. We make the season longer for the good teams who are just pummeling a bunch of bad ones, and what do they care at a certain point?

Not to mention how boring it would be to play the same damn team over and over and over. You play the same team constantly, and then you make the playoffs and the only teams that made it were the good ones and so they've been the only half decent games, but you've played them 8 times already and now you have a 7 game series? I get it, we want rivalries, this isn't going to make them. It'll make people bored of facing the same damn people who aren't vitriolic at each other. You want rivalries? Let people call each other anything and get at each other with everything. Playing the same teams just makes you bored of playing the same teams.

It's a boring set-up that is counterproductive to our goal of maintaining membership, in my opinion.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

We complain about OP players and PT inflation but we'd give people more time to gain more points before their player hit regression? Bad idea IMO.

On second thought a longer season might allow me to beat ArGar's TPE total :ph34r:
