Some Things Never Change

The game has improved, the customer service has improved but one thing that has not changed through the years is that managers seem to enjoy taking a 20% cap hit by dropping players instead of trying to trade them. I didn't understand it years ago and still don't !

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill (even if it costs 20% more).

agreed! It is not so much the 2 mil guys getting dumped but when I see 8 or 9 mil players getting dropped it makes me think there had to be a manager that would like the dropped player and could of worked out something but each manager is a individual I guess :)

I'm new and green, but I certainly see your point with 20% penalties-- but in the early part of a year when some leagues only have a 5% penalty, you may not want to trade with someone--especially in your own division--as it hurts worse if the trade backfires on you.

Definitely do not want to trade within division. That is just asking for the player you dealt away to come back and haunt you haha
