New Credit Reward System

PostSat Feb 08, 2014 9:00 am

I've been on the other side of this scenario...

My team wins 90 games and has a 13 game lead on it's division mates.

Another division has teams with 94-93-93 wins.

Shouldn't we change the credit reward system so all 4 playoff teams get 1 credit and any team that wins 90+ games gets a one half credit.

This rewards good to great play, and keeps at least one more team coming back for more.

I would certainly feel a little better if I won 93 games and did not make the playoffs.

If you can get SoM to agree to that- bet a lot of others would love it too :D

They seem to not be in the habit of giving more, but what do I know?

For some time I have thought that some changes were due in the reward system that we have now. I propose that in addition to the current 2 credits for winning it all and 1 credit for the runner-up, that half credits should be awarded for all the play-off teams and an additional half credit for the team with the best record in a given league. I believe that the incentive of winning these half credits will help maintain and create interest in joining additional leagues. It does get a bit discouraging to win 95 plus games and have nothing to show for it when you go out in the first round.

Well, if you notice, it's not like you rolled over the other team during the regular season. You only had a 7-5 record against them. So it sounds like in a short series it was a crap shoot.

Or why not just eliminate credits completely and lower the price 25%?
Then the satisfaction from winning is winning and everyone can afford to play more.

I'm not a fan of not getting rewarded credits for winning championships. You should get something. Not sure if lowering the cost of teams a couple of bucks would generate more leagues. I haven't noticed any increase when they run the specials.

So yea it's done nothing for me.
