Wanted to start a thread in case anyone wants to consider a rule change. As the league grows and tries to attract and retain GMs, its important we stay competitive in terms of fairness with other leagues.
Feel free to propose rule changes/additions/removal here for voting. Scanning the board we had a good discussion on the cap floor/ceiling and UFA.

I want rule change : I just look that some tourist guide said "normal" lunch for "good" eating is about 100-150 euros at Koh Samui Thailand. Ouch I eat usually Thailand with 1-2 euros.

Well, there's always a discussion of changing the slider settings. Scoring could be increased, as well as the injury slider...
There's been discussions about the salary cap. I would say either decrease it, or introduce a cap floor. Reasons for this have all been outlined in another thread
Eliminating team and player options.
Having better draft classes
Just a few idea to discuss

regarding the draft. I found a tool thats supposed to make a better draft if you run it after the game creates a new draft. I'll test it out during the week and see how it goes. Beyond that, we are not going back to editing ceilings because that just leads to super star players with 99 all over the place.
Happt to remove to and po from the game.

We should probably give it a season or two if we edit the drafts, no? A lot of people might have given up picks next season to trade for this season, or made decisions based upon the scarcity of talent in the drafts.

I wouldn't want it edited to create such a super draft class, but I do think we need it improved. It's close to impossible to re-build through the draft. I do remember that 1.15b seems to create a better draft class. Maybe you could switch to that version just to create the draft and then switch to whatever version you run the rest of the game on.

Well, basically I would say to bring it in starting July 1st, 2018. Any players that you re-sign now can have PO/TO included, but for next season, they are no longer allowed.
I don't see why we can't improve the draft class as early as next season. It's not like we will be creating a draft class full of superstars. If GMs decided to trade away their future picks, that's their issue.

You can adjust little more booms but not start edit whole drafts.

Having better draft classes Just a few idea to discuss I have no issues on discussing ideas, however here are my 2 cents on the items that have been brought up so far..... 1. Not in favour of a cap floor or reducing the cap as within a few more seasons most teams will be near that cap level. 2. I am also against limiting the player and team options. If this were to occur then the removal of the bonus limitation and I should be allowed to offer a player a 500K contract with a 4.6666 million bonus again. 3. I am in favor of using EHM 1.15b to have better draft classes. I am not in favor of editing players to improve the classes. I have stated several times before that the intent of this version of the league is to utilize the player ratings the way they were intended to be instead of the super edited version of players. We experienced way to many issues with the game due to edited players in the original GHL. |

Tweak the booms a little if you want, but please dont start editing the player file. |

Why not decrease the cap with a plan to increase it annually? I find it interesting that several people are against decreasing it because it will make sense eventually - but it doesn't make sense now? I mean, if the NHL can change their cap yearly, surely an EHM sim league can too?
I'm not really sure the benefits (or drawbacks) of removing POs and TOs, other than the minor complications and confusion it can create (removing TOs would be useful for a league with GM fluctuation).
I think I'd agree with SensGM re EHM 1.15b, unless there actually is a program that better creates reasonably balanced drafts.

Theres no reason why we can't increase it in future seasons once salaries start to rise. I personally just don't understand why it's $70m when only 1 team is even close to it and 16 teams actually spend under $50m.
