JimboJ -> Starting a new league - advice needed (3/3/2007 4:44:04 PM)
|
I'm getting ready to start a league with financials turned on. This will be a first for me, as I have always played without financials in the past. I want to create a small league of maybe 6 or 8 teams, with each team having equal finances.
How much do you guys usually set the available finances to? Does the amount rise with inflation? Also, when conducting the initial draft, what guidelines do you use in deciding what length contract to give? I'm thinking give the longer contracts to younger guys with high potential, and shorter ones to older guys with low potential. But then I ran a test draft, and some of the CPU teams gave 5 year contracts to 33 year old guys with ok potential, and others gave shorter contracts to younger guys with high potential. All teams were well under the $200M cap btw. So this got me kind of confused. Is there some kind of general curve where a players ratings start to decline after a certain age, or does it vary by position?
I just wanted to get some opinions on what guidelines everyone uses when signing players. I can always figure out a strategy as I go along, but I don't want to screw things up too bad getting started.
