Off Season Roster Cap

[LF]

Can we please consider removing this silly roster cap we have on TWD rosters for the start of the offseason which starts on Sunday? I fully intend to start my own squad next week with HOPEFULLY a healthy mix of veteran players and players brand new to TWD. While I couldn't give two shits about wins/losses, I will care about activity. If my roster is maxed out at 25/30 or whatever its at now and I HAVE to axe somebody in order to recruit another player to play a game, guess who's going to get the axe? It's not going to be one of my veterans that I need to keep us somewhat competitive, its going to be XxX_DragonKing_XxX. I want newbies on my squad, and I want to give them exposure to competitive play outside of pub so please don't tie my hands behind my back when its the offseason and ladders don't matter anyways, ty

When I was still head of leagues this was discussed with the intention of removing it during off-season and reapply for TWL qualifications whether or not it happens now I dont know as its not my call anymore.

[McVicar]

It should be removed for off-season or at least be more lenient with the rule, raising it.

I think the roster cap should be removed immidiately after LD finals to keep at least few stacked squads for TWD action during off-season. I see this as a possibility for squads having more active player base, which includes vets and new-comers.
This should be done even though it meant we have only 4-6 stacked squads.


Inb4 "this has already been said so many times". Just trying to bumb the discussion and express my opinion.

yeah stop restrictin the gameplay

The roster cap should stay, people will only end up whining about it again in the preseason to TWL when it is reinforced.
Having unlimited size squads may sound good but in reality all it means is that less squads will have the talented players, since they will inevitably end up grouping together.

Then in 6 months time it will be twice as hard to put a cap back on because people will say they have been with their squads for 6months and do not want to form another squad / be separated. Or that they do not have time to create an active worthwhile squad. At least keeping it in place gives time for squads to become established.

you must not understand, the fewer squads will still end up with the better talent. they just wont be able to recruit any newbies to expose them to playing alongside better talent.

twd roster limits are stupid at any time of the season, off season or twl qualification. only twl needs limits

The newbs still would not get the game time in those squads anyway since the experienced players would be put in once joe newb goes 3-10, there would just be a bigger choice of experienced players to choose from.

If we get rid of roster caps then we should look at changing other end -(the number of squads). Maybe having 8 'super' squads would be the answer. Though I suspect this would be unpopular and we would still get the same problem above.
