FOOLX Compensation Poll

hyde4us11 · 08-22-2012, 09:14 AM

Do you all want to switch back to the compensation that was used before we converted to OOTP13? Type A and B FA will be used again if you vote for the old system.

JTSMOOTH · 08-22-2012, 09:25 AM

Personally, I'm not a fan of the old system much, far too many players with comp attached to them and they just sat around in FA until after the draft is completed.

If there was any change, my vote would be to just eliminate compensation all together.

Tellistto · 08-22-2012, 09:32 AM

Right now the new system is pretty much no compensation. Certainly don't see how just going that route would be all that different. Just seems that the new system needs a bit of adjustment to cover more of the top players. I'm not sure I've seen a pitcher be compensated so far, and I know there have been some very good candidates for that.

The old system is so broken that, no, I don't want it back. Far too many people just wait until after the draft now to avoid compensation as it is.

The waiting till after the draft then causes me a lot more work as well. The FA sim 3 instructions for FOOLX are so much fewer then FOOL.

Great points Tell

I'm not complaining here just stating a point on what Tell pointed out.

spleen1015 · 08-22-2012, 09:42 AM

I don't like using compensation at all. For this poll, I voted to leave it as it is, but I'd prefer that we turned it off altogether.

CleBrownsfan · 08-22-2012, 09:46 AM

I think I am in the "get rid of comp all together" group... I like being able to get a 2nd or even an early 3rd round pick in the draft that could be a starter at some point. With 10-20 comp picks that will never happen.

JTSMOOTH · 08-22-2012, 09:51 AM

I agree that for the most part, the difference between the current FA Comp System and No comp would be pretty minor. The plus would be that no one would feel slighted if their "star" player was not comp eligible, since no players would be.

I've always been anti-compensation. So status quo is better than the older system.

Ditto.

Chief Rum · 08-22-2012, 11:19 AM

Do we even have the option to fiddle with the compensation rules, beyond system presets, like the FOOL12 system, the current system or turning it off?

I mean, can we even widen the scope of what is considered compensatable? Or are the above options all we have?

I don't mind compensation and I like having it in the game. But none of the options presented so far are even close to palatable for me (although I would certainly go with whatever the league decides).

The old system, as noted, caused way too much havoc with how many free agents were compensated and which would then sit out there forever.

The current system has next to no compensation, and some of the best players around have not had compensation set on them when they easily should have been.

Obviously, turning the system off entirely is really little different than the current system.

So is there a fourth option of widening the compensation rules a little?

hyde4us11 · 08-22-2012, 11:58 AM

Sadly this a either or situation. I wish we had a way to make compensation the way we want it. That sounds like a good feature request.

That's a bummer.

(And, yes, a good feature request)

I lean toward no compensation at all then.

Tellistto · 08-22-2012, 05:07 PM

I would have to agree that no compensation seems to be the way to go at this point. If we are unable to widen the range of compensation, even if only by a million dollars, then the system as is is pointless.

Again, don't think I've seen a single pitcher be compensated. Has anyone else?

Tell

Afino · 08-22-2012, 06:07 PM

I prefer no compensation at all over going back to the old way, sure.

I just had the Pitcher of the Year not get comp for me. That's not right.

Tellistto · 08-22-2012, 08:13 PM

Yeah, he didn't get comp for me when he left my team to go to yours, Alf.

Tell

Montreal_GM · 08-22-2012, 10:30 PM

I'm fine with how it is now.

I always hated compensation in FOOL/OOTP 12 because the comp round was too long and high quality players would go unsigned and retire. Also, I like being able to draft a guy in the 2nd round and sometimes the 3rd and have a shot at him being a big league player.
