Re: Another reason there should be a limit of how many players you can sign

As someone that has been personally attacked in the forums by "punisher". I have to agree with the previous comments. He has no business trying to micro manage other owners. Not every owner is the same. You want to put caps on everything why? Because you cant comprehend how an owner can manage his cap situation with large dead cap space.

If I put out contracts for free agents which will take me over the cap, trust and believe, I have a plan for getting back under the cap.

If I actively trade, especially in an attempt to rebuild, I will accrue dead cap as part of the process. It's the cost of doing business for getting high draft picks for premium talent.

Go check out MFN-13....my Baltimore team has a current dead cap of over 69 million.....I'm 13-1.

Go check out cust-79...I took over an 0-16 team, totally rebuild the team ending with 44 million in dead cap, and finished 13-3 eventually losing the league championship game.

You generalize every owner as an idiot that has no clue to what they are doing. Are there bad owners? Yes. But not every owner that trades a lot, goes over cap signing free agents or has large dead cap space is a bad owner.

Punisher is in every league and yet has the time to jump into other owners business. When I first started playing this game, he blew me up in open forum saying cjfred68 needs to be stopped trading. Never once did he private message me, not to warn me or offer advice that I may be hurting my teams or see if I knew what I was doing.

NO DIRECT CONTACT.....In fact when I went to PM him to say hey dude what's up with the smear campaign, I found that I was blocked by him. As a new owner/user/customer, I could have easily said to **** with this SIM after that but I didnt. Instead I have continued to play, bought credits and shared on Facebook how much I love this game. I'm currently an active owner in 20 leagues, have won 2 championships and come close countless of other times. I'm by no means the best owner in this game but I'm pretty decent, the last time I added it up my winning percentage was above .600.

Despite all of that, what really gets me mad is that Punisher has never offered an apology to me. While he jumped the gun, bypassed contacting me directly and publicly attacked me in the forums. Obviously, he was completely wrong about me, I haven't ruined my teams beyond help. In fact besides 1 team that I abandoned, I've never quit on any of the leagues I joined.

I'm to the point where everytime I see a post from him, it ticks me off. While his heart may be in the right place, I still see him as a busy body jumping to conclusions about owners. If you have the time to find these problems/issues/concerns about other owners then you can take the time to PM them and talk to them privately before jumping on the forums and putting them on blast.

On a side note punisher, I'm pretty sure nobody cares if the next league that starts is the 843th that will be using the new code...we get it

Didn't realize my method to overhaul an aging teams had generated so much discussion. Guess I need to read the Community forums more often.

...Or some of you could sop talking about other owners you know nothing about.. that would help too. ;)

PS after that massive cap scare I'm currently 10-2 headed to another division title. Oh, but wait, my cap used next year is already over the league total. What magic will I perform next?!

The best part about this is that Punisher is absolute garbage at managing his own teams. For all the time he spends on here he still has not clue about what it takes to build a winning team. He's in just about every league and has yet to win a single one of them.

A perfect example of why punisher should mind his own business when it comes to other managers:
punisher wrote:
Denver Broncos = https://jwebber.myfootballnow.com/team/1
74 players on contract
11 contract offers
14 pending cuts
$-37,247,380 over the CAP


I just lost a very close game to Smirt21 in the Championship game

Just because you don't understand another manager's strategy doesn't mean they don't have one.

Punisher is MFN's 'Masked Vigilante'...righting all roster wrongs and coming to the rescue of GM'ing injustices! :)

I think a GM should be able to bring 75 players to training camp. Then have interim cuts down to 53.

This. All day this. I get so annoyed that I have to cut to 60 BEFORE training camp.

I think it would be a way to assess more of the borderline players and increase the chances of finding the one diamond in the rough. Anyway, no one would be required to carry any minimum number of players anymore than what is now the case. Carry 46 (or fewer, if that's your decision) at all times if you want.
