I was able to do 30+ league at one time just fine, re-doing contracts, drafting, and setting a base game plan without having to change it all that often can still put an owner in a good position to win in all those leagues. It just depends on how much free time you have and if you get bored of being in just a couple league easily. The thing about that many leagues is that it does cause you to care about most of them much less than if you were only in a couple leagues.

maybe they want to so the league will spin
maybe they want to so every team in the playoffs is owned by a person
etc.

like i said i dont think punishing everyone for the actions of the few is the right way to go.

we already have lost 8 leagues because they didnt have the 16 players.

just think if limit people you will have leagues dying left and right because they wouldnt have 16 people.

i think having leagues dying is bad for this web site

To help support the game.

Also I joined a few leagues in the beginning to help myself learn stuff faster. Now because of time restraints I only play in one competitive league(NFL League) along side the beta test league(MFN-1) and running Paydirt. But I do see your point as I used to mix up my players and game plans with more than one league. Some guys can do it just fine. Its all good either way.

He is now cutting guys off this team:

Can he be stopped, please?

In my case I'm disabled and this takes up most of my day! 10 years ago, you would not catch
me doing a game on a pc, I had no time for it,worked all the time! Now after a long stay in a
hospital and doctors telling me I will not be able to work anymore or you may not be around for
the next Christmas! This wonderful site was found, I get out of bed many times a day to take
care of all my leagues, 3 or 4 leagues were to help keep them running!

To some extent I agree with you, butbyoure basing that on a student or working person having X amount of daily time to play. But we do have some ummm older players here of which I'll be one before long. Also we have people on here with long term issues like Illness and disabilities. So for that reason a cap on the amount of owned teams is a bad idea.
However if a player obviously just loading up on teams without any intention of managing them properly, then a red flag should be used of some sort, it just ruins the leagues

I own 13 teams, Ive abandoned 1 team out of frustration after a medical emergency caused me to miss a draft that I had traded away talent to amass many high picks. I actively manage all my teams to the point of being publicly attacked by punisher asking for players not to trade with me. I get private messages after trade proposals that are nasty and ignorant. Proposing a trade should open a dialogue between teams. I dont understand how an intial offer is met with so much negativity by some. On the positive side, Ive traded with plenty of owners where a opening offer led to discussions and led to fruitful trades for both parties. Some owners on this site need to lighten up and treat this like the fun game that it is. Honestly I love this game/simulation and have really enjoyed my talks with some of the owners. I have learned plenty reading the forums and plan on continuing to actively manage my teams daily. Im all for banning someone that trys to manipulate leagues by owning multiple teams or intentionally ruining teams by cutting or trading away talent to no purpose. It really upset me that I was labeled as one of these type of owners when the truth is completely opposite. I may have made mistakes early in my ownership where I didnt really account for deadcap space and its hurt the direction of some of my teams but people need to be careful when it comes to publicly attacking owners especially without speaking to them first.

I feel the same way but i work and i run my teams differently than a lot of people. I don't trade a lot and i spend a lot of time combing free agent pools and fitting guys to their best positions. I am also still learning so watching film and correlating the results to stats/ratings takes up a lot of time.

I have always wondered how some run 60+ teams when you consider that just glancing at all the films would take 15-20 hours per day. Obviously most of these owners don't do that. Many of these 60+ team owners have teams that go 1-15 or so every year, year after year.

However, i don't see the problem with these teams losing consistently. Having 6 punters or 9 quarter backs or 11 tight ends all with ratings under 50 isn't really disrupting. There always have been badly mismanaged 'doormat' teams. The problem comes when these teams function as defacto farm teams for specific other teams in a league.

That is, one specific team gets the benefit of all the farm team's top draft picks and/or any good players the farm team drafts (usually traded for retirement age players the exploiting team was going to cut anyway).

If one team is favored by several of these 'farm teams' in a league and ends up with most of their good players and top picks then of course by amassing the resources of several teams it is going to dominate a league of teams where the other owners are using only 1 team's resources.

The farm team/ friend network system is what ruins many leagues and not a bunch of non-competitive teams as long as they are run even-handedly i. e. not favoring any specific team.

I agree with Bizz. No need to be in more than IDK 5 or six. I will say that MFN is a great sim game and VERY addictive. need to limit # of leagues per player. I have brought 11 players to this game only two survive bc the game is not legit. Too many cheaters have ruined the integrity of the public game. When we first the game my roomie cutz found it and he , myself, gunner and ole geezer joined l-35 that evening using his laptop. I am proud to say there was never a trade or any dumping BS ever. The other two guys got frustrated and quit. We were not able to trade bc we all joined at the same time on the same laptop. I have since brought 6 others to the game and watched them leave for the same reasons as have been set forth above. I realize JDB that there is not much you can do about tankers and hoarders. Maybe, limit the amount of top 3 picks? put a cap on Free agents? I see 60-70 FA's going for 30-40 mil? My true and honest hope JDB is that MORE players would develop into real players at a FASTER RATE!!!!!! It would take away the ALL consuming and absolute need to have 470 (an exaggeration) 1st round picks as of now rounds 5,6,7 are a joke. WHY BOTHER! get better faster developing players or just cut it off at 5 rounds. I love the game and won't be leaving anytime soon. Please do't look at this as a complaint. I only seek to make the game better. MM
