after all the positive feedback after last years change to 5/10/20 why did we go back to 20% to start this set? i can't believe the powers that be would just make this negative change without so much as a blog entry explaining why. if its just an oversight please fix it now before we get started. my initial 2015 league has not officially started yet.

I thought that was a permanent change . I liked the 5/10/20 (I definitely like to tinker with my teams) rule better.

It's obviously an oversight. Has anyone written to online support? :o

i have not notified them. i wanted to hear from you guys first. i have been known to miss the obvious before. are all the other new auto leagues using 20% as well?

Curious and curiouser. One of my leagues is 5/10/20 and the other is not.

I emailed them about this issue on Friday:

Last year, the default free agent drop penalty in auto leagues was changed from 20% to 5/10/20%. I have looked at the auto leagues for 2015 and the unleashed auto leagues have the 5/10/20% penalty system, while the regular card set leagues have a 20% drop. Is the default for leagues using the standard card set going to be 20% again? Was the change just for last year? Did I miss something?

Thanks

And they responded today:

Hi Leo,

Thanks for letting us know about this. We have restored the default penalty back to 5/10/20%.

it looks like they aren't changing the existing leagues, even if no games have been played.
