1. Not a huge fan of archetypes if it means some people will be capped at a lower TPE than others. Not against the idea, but want the potential for equal growth.

2. While I think there is definitely a line of "too much", I think having a perennially successful team is an ode to the skill of the GMs. Anyone is able to build what those teams have if they put the work in. Kinda like the NHL - FAs go to good culture teams, winning teams, and avoid losers. I think if GMs only want to put in 75% effort, they should have a team performing at 75%. Additionally, successful teams will train their prospects to fit into their system no matter if we are talking about Hamilton or real life. 


...I think?

I understand your point but here’s why I disagree. What you said certainly is true in the NHL. But that’s a professional hockey league on the biggest stage. That’s their job, their livelihood, their whole life. This is a sim league, for most its a hobby. I don’t think you can expect everyone to put in maximum time and effort, because of school, work, family, or actually going outside.

Edit: read further and agree completely with RED’s point. It should not be as punishing to have a 90% GM. In the end this is a fake league we all made up to make fun stories and have fun. It’s not fun for most of the league, when a small minority of players that have committed the most time to the league are untouchable.
