We're picking up in 2034 after a 15 year auto-history. I'm playing in the IHOF universe as the Hanalei Dragons, a franchise near and dear to my heart that I've still failed to really drag over the line to success in MP play over the years. The version of the franchise in this 15 year universe has never made the playoffs, so we've got some laid back island expectations already firmly established.
I haven't played much SP in a good while, but I generally try to approximate the challenge/discipline of house rules by dropping a pretty substantial cap hit onto things. I don't think I've tried 50% before, but we'll give it a go here. If it doesn't work, we'll adjust. I'll sign a longsnapper in FA1-2 for a contract worth half the cap to make things logistically easy and play from there.
We're already over our $127.5m limit with 33 players as we roll into FA1. A good portion of that is the 81/81 QB we just put the franchise tag on. He's an obvious stud and the second highest scout rating QB in the game at the moment. Setting aside whether it would be interesting or fun to allocate a bunch of resources toward a stud QB with our limitations... we're not going to do it with him. I'm going to see if we can add a few picks or something else interesting by trading him off and we'll start working toward a roster we have some attachment to.
We've got some young DE and LB talent as well, with three 70+ guys who will be looking to make big money very shortly. I'll probably sit tight with those guys for now, but we might need to trade one of them to help kick things off as well.
Overall, we stunk last year even with these guys. We've got the 4th pick in the draft and we're definitely going to stink again when we trade this 81/81 QB.
