It's the vibe I've been getting on the forums and discord recently for sure, although I don't really keep up much with SHL stuff now.

Honestly I think dramatically shorter careers would solve a lot of problems, there would be a lot more creativity going on with builds and media in general if you weren't locked into a multi-year relentless grind with each player.

Would also help 90% of teams in the league right now because it won't take 2 years to build a contender (and that's only if you can convince people to not leave as a UFA before they even have enough TPE to even play in the league lol).
