I will be honest, I really don't like the changing of the sliders, especially during the season. Had I known penalties were going to be lowered, I probably would have kept Parise as that was my only real issue with him. Besides it being a much easier pill to swallow in the offseason (and from a different position that "bitter about a trade"), I don't see why/how you would change the rules of the game in the middle of the game. Between finances, waivers and this stuff, there's clearly things worth talking about this off season. A random 24 hour post with only 16 responses (barely half the league) shouldn't cut it. You're in the minority here. The sliders were (and may still be) too high. A vote was done and the majority won. The fact that only half the league bothered to vote is a different problem all together.

Only been in the league one day so I truly can't say if penalties and injuries are too high. It seems to me everyones farm team's roster are on the low side, which would concern me if I run into the injury bugs.

i could complain about the finances being fixed...i traded for $$ thinking i was going into the red soon....and then suddenly we all get $50,000,000. but i didnt complain because ive run a sim league before and i know it's not easy to please everyone.

I'm not trying to make people feel sorry for trading Zach (I got a great return) and probably shouldn't have used that example.
That being said, I still don't like changing sliders in the middle of the season. Just barely 1/3 of the league was OK with this. You can't call that the majority.
And you're right STL, you could bitch about adding $50,000,000 and I wanted to but didn't. Injuries aside, I just don't like seeing mid season changes.

And you're right STL, you could bitch about adding $50,000,000 and I wanted to but didn't. Injuries aside, I just don't like seeing mid season changes. i get what you're saying but it effects us all equally. you say you have a disciplined team (which really isn't true - according to the team stats you take the 13th most penalties per game)....but i could just as easily counter that by saying that i have the best top 2 lines in the league, so if anyone is going to benefit by constant powerplays, it would be me. we all have our strengths and weaknesses, in the end, it evens out. the powerplays will end up being the same proportionally...but instead of having 12 PP's for one team and 10 for the other...you might have 8 for one team and 5 for the other now. no one gains or loses anything here really....the sims just arent going to be as silly anymore with 90% of the games on special teams the NHL has made rule changes mid-season too. remember when mike richards decapitated david booth and they started to crack down on headshots? i know that they waited until the offseason to "officially" implement "rule 41" (aka blindside hits) or whatever it is...but during that season, hits to the head were also being monitored more closely than before booth's death.

I'm not saying I have a disciplined team, I'm saying that I'm trying to have a disciplined team. A lot of those penalties came from players no longer on the team.
I said I was OK with lowering injuries, which is what you're mid-season rule change example is alluding to. I just don't like to see the more important stuff changed midseason.
If anything, it should have been done via e-mail so you can get more than 16 responses.

I would tend to side with NJ on the points he's making! Like I pointed out before I made a lot of trades based upon the rules (or in this case sliders) set at the time! The time to make changes should really be at the end of the regular season or in the off season! I totally understand were NJ is coming from!
On a side note I also think adding $50,000,000 to each team was a terrible move! Basically means money now means nothing... and GM's have traded away players/picks for nothing!

The money was essential. Almost 3/4 of the league were projected to be in the red at the end of the season. Should all of those GMs be let go at the end of the season, including the commissioner?

but why $50,000,000??? Hell everyone can buy a new arena now!!! Maybe dropping the slider would of been an easier way
