I Can't believe this

I was checking the owner listings for fastsim27 when i saw that 4 teams were controlled by owners with VERY similar names. The names:Johnboy, johnboy1, johnboy2, and johnboy4. This is no coincidence. Please kick this guy off before he ruins the league!

You probably should abandon your team in that league. Presently, there are several private leagues up and running or about to start for people who are fed up with inactive GMs and cheaters.

I'm already part of the North American Baseball League and All-Star Mogul. I gave up good teams to join them and then this happens to the league i kept.

Irony. I think that users should be able to view leagues/teams in order to better assess where they want to join up. As it goes, you may choose a league riddled with cheaters and a team laden with debt. And of course something has to be done about stacking. I really don't understand how anybody can get satisfaction out of cheating. It takes the challenge and purpose out of the game.

I would really like to see a league feedback system.

A simple rating scale (whether applied to the players or the league as a whole) would really go a long way to letting the cream rise to the top and the garbage sink.

It seems difficult to stop some people from gaining access to two teams in the same league and then raiding one team. Would could be done would be to have a startup screen showing all recent trades (headlines serves this purpose but it isn't convenient). If all trades were obvious, cheaters would stand out to all.

Also, no trades should be possible between human and computer players (I thought this was already the case but it doesn't seem to be).

Probably the best way to prevent this type of cheating is to have trades subject to league veto. However, if I want to trade a good player for little or nothing to clear salary room, I don't think this should be prevented providing that the trade is with another human player. This is done often in real pro sports. In Canada, teams often have to let top players go for very little in return. This is simply a matter of economy, and to block it in this game would hurt small market teams. It's too bad that in this version you cannot trade for draft picks. I think that having draft picks (with the draft conducted purely by the CPU) would elimate the for nothing trades.

Once Sports Mogul starts charging for each account, I think the cheating will disappear. I mean, who would pay for 2 accounts just for the heck of winning a computer game? Maybe a few people, but not as many as are cheating now when it is so easy.
