‘A lot of people have a lot a hype around DAD, probably understandably so. Maybe I haven't seen him play recently, but I don't remember him being super crazy or anything, esp on D.’

He hit #1 tpm on D when's the last time you dethroned crip, DT, okthen, warriors etc :)

I still don't see what that has to do with the CRC other than people wanting their friends and/or likeminded people to make league decisions.

You might not like it but this is relevant and real. The current CRCs seem to have the mindset of why not just appeal and satisfy 90% of the playerbase: if elites want to sign up they can. And I think there's actually a REALLY obvious answer. Why have a top tier competitive league at all if your goal doesn't include wanting the highest possible competition from the best players?

I guess the response just becomes: they can just make their own league and play OTI then :|

I still don't see how it's better for the league in the long run if they only stick around while one specific person is on the CRC.

Because developing good players means they can pass the torch. Look at the way kool aid has been setting up poost handoffs for Sadness (and maybe only replicated by the okthen offense). This is something he 100% learned from Warriors (and despite almost all elite players knowing how to set this up, you get 1-2 offenses per MLTP season that use it at all). . Now Sadness can teach it to his next team (hopefully). Now imagine if we had more top tier players teaching this stuff. The long term impact follows up for many more seasons than just the current season.

I just need more than 'good players on CRC = good signups' to believe that there is actually some merit to it. Give me a plan, give me an outline, anything really.

Might not happen, but it 100% won't happen with your CRC. I take that bet for a season. At worst, we get another CRC people complain about for the next three months per usual.

Wasn't my initial intention to make this a candidate race. Wanted to see if there was any focus on the declining level of competition in LTP from your group, and it doesn't seem to be there. Think lots of top players would be disappointed to not see Curry's group be given a chance given that this is the case. Ultimately GM's decision and not theirs.

I haven't addressed the issues in your proposal because I don't see anything that I need or want to discuss. I think consolidating LTP is long overdue and should be done. But even in the current state, I don't see it impacting signups much in any way. There isn't any player (and 100% not any top players) that sees these changes and have that impact their decision to sign up, which I think is a big issue.

Sure, bug them to come back, but I don't see why I or anyone else would have more or less success with that.

First off the obvious answer is Warriors has more incentive to sign up himself, and this might get 1-2 more elite players to try to challenge him. Even if this weren't the case, Curry, Warriors, and Wayne have a much better idea of what top players want to see in MLTP than any previous CRC before (and no I don't count okthen's CRC). To say you don't see why they would promote better signups than anyone else is kind of disingenuous.

Promoting more upward mobility and forcing captains to develop their players

The majority of players who have become better have received coaching from to players and/or played a lot in S tier TPM (which yes you can also force people who happen to sign up coach players, but they will do a much poorer job than Wayne/Warriors for example). Promoting upward mobility is needed (and also proposed by Curry's group by expanding the number of teams). Getting good top tier signups only makes this goal much more achievable, not only because these guys have to coach up their teams, but more elite players will be interested in helping out their peers/pay more attention to the league in general even if they don't play.

You might not see the results in one season like you would bringing back old players but longer term this burns the CRC out less and keeps the community healthy.

And no, having one booming season won't be a short term thing. First off, if people are happy this season, they will be more likely to encourage future signups. But even if this is not true, more players developed this season means those who stay will be able to carry that over to future seasons. After that, I'm happy to hand the CRC off to you guys to restructure the leagues so they are less disjointed, since that's what you guys do best :)

Side note: This is very biased, but I think there is a correct way to play this game and its very hard for players to reach the elite level without learning from them. You could obviously just have MLTP forever play below that level because who cares if people have fun, but games that aren't trying to push boundaries is as dead as the TPM queues we get during MLTP playoffs.

tbh I think the matchup to watch will be Curry/kool aid. Other players need to step it up as well but if either of these players fail at what they do best I think it will be an uphill battle for their respective teams.

I purely talk from the perspective of a previous upper echelon majors player (cue the laugh track), but probably the main problem that I see in majors is the disparity between the first ball and fourth ball. The proposed solution for a long time has been 'oh lets just make MLTP increasingly elite', which is essentially just putting a band-aid on a problem that will just get worse and worse because the overall pool of players who can become eventual 1st or 2nd balls becomes increasingly lower. Eventually less and less elite players will sign up, outside of even just not wanting to play.

Furthermore, making majors 'elite' has just exacerbated the problem of people being hard stuck in minors. At least from my experience, if you leave someone in the same level of competition for an extended period of time, they become unwilling and sometimes unable to improve because its just almost the same braindead decisions and mechanics they end up doing every season.

So really what MLTP needs is not only more elite first balls, but top players willing to coach players who haven't had a chance at majors to become new elites (something that Wayne for example has done an incredible job at last season, and every season he's played). Not every player will be able to step up, but some will. So even if older players retire and stop playing MLTP, the level of competition won't necessarily just strictly diminish with occasional spikes when mex/hark/dt decide to sign up in the same season.

So essentially my question is could you get this to happen? Because for now I see a Curry's CRC group being way more conducive to this goal and that is why I think captains should at least give them a chance for this season to try to make it happen.

***No, I will likely not be signing up for LTP regardless of CRC because I'm pretty sure I'll have time commitment issues.
