I dunno, this is making Friday morning during the off-season way more entertaining

If you value a player simply on their potential rating, you dont know any better.

But what relevance is the potential? Couldnt you just say "I dont want to trade that player, I like him a lot." As you said, what matters is his skill ratings, not that he has a 75 potential rating.

shel311 wrote:But a team of 25 players rated 80 is going to always be better than a team with 25 players rated 70. And the team of 70s will be better than the 25 players rated 60. So it's not like there's no value at all to it.
Its pretty obvious to tell who an elite player is. You dont need a rating to tell you hes an 80 for you to know hes an 80. Also, we're talking potential rating, not actual.

Imagine criticizing someone whos trying to create conversation and discussion on a relevant topic instead of actually contributing to the discussion.

We all appreciate ya bringing up some new ideas and fresh blood into the conversation as it makes the league better.

I don't necessarily agree with this one and voted no but thanks for your effort. :)

My question still stands, why do you assume people value players solely on potential rating?


Like I said, just because someone says they're not trading player A because he's 80 potential, that doesn't mean he's not trading him solely because he's 80 potential. It's just an easy, quick way to say that guy is really good.

This will never get old.

The best part is if any NDLer had the chance to morph into Beefy in their old age, it would be George.

He will always be beefy to me. You will have to tell me about the other one. I have only known this one with the best logo around.

Search for Fred Thomas thread and read SIRLOIN's comments. Typical Beefy rants there.

I was trying to figure how to do this.

What was another good Beefy thread, Fred Thomas was one. What was the Lolcats owners name? Beefy would go apeshit about him

I never understood the difficulty with trading.
Even with scouting on. Does it make it more difficult, sure but, give me a list of guys on my team you like, I will give you a list of guys on your team I like, then see if we can agree on a deal using the those names.

Teams that trade win. Teams that don't have to hope for a golden generation to come along.
