Free Agent List Cleanup

[Jeremiah Hill]

Looking for free agents to sign was a real pain in the butt. I think that the list needs to be cleaned up a bit. So I went through and basketball-referenced every player on the list and these are the players that haven't been in the league for a few years or don't exist according to B/R. I tried to leave younger guys who may have a shot at creeping back in later alone. 

I think cleaning up the list will have two effects, one that it will be easier to look over, and B I know how we were all talking about how we wanted to make 75 and under viable players in the league well people may have an aversion to lower rated players because if you say a player is a 69 it means he's only a bit better than a player that never even existed. Now with there being so few 60 rated players then people won't be so freaked out when their player is a 69 because that at least means he's NBA caliber. We will be able to maybe shift a few players who aren't super amazing guys down a notch to help create more defined player tiers. (I think we have too many 80's but not enough 75-79 guys) Plus this takes almost no work because all we have to do is just delete them from the list and then sort of just forget about them/use them as templates for new players.

Thanks Jeremiah this is something I've been meaning to do for a while!

The list clean-up does not address the issue of players who should be available as FA, but are not on the list. Are there plans to make a comparison of the roster page to last years IRL rosters?

Have answered in your PM but will answer again here for the benefit of all GMs:

Once we have this year's rookies created we will focus on players who should be in the game that are not.
