Should Baseball Mogul Online switch from dollars to points?

My vote is to stay with points. But if you switch from points to dollars, do it for all leagues, so as to not have discrepancies...

Points are comfortable for the experienced mogulers, but cash based salaries offer a sense of realism. Realism in Fantasy is essential. I like cash and I think everyone else will once they get use to it.

I like points better.... one of my problems with BBM 2004 Download version is all the 0 typing you have to do. Making a mistake in typing one 0 can make a huge difference.
Simple is better than real in my humble opnion.

I wouldn't mind seeing it converted to dollars...in my opinion option 2 and 3 are similar in counting the interest in converting to dollars. I agree with edeutsch77 in if the switch is made do it for all. By the way what would be other...the Euro?:D

how about this for other. My original vote was to change to cash, but now I see Kouisa's point. One 0 could be a big problem.
How about this. Change it cash, but keep it simple.
Instead of people bidding $2,357,432 dollars, simplifiy it to $2.4 million. Hmm, wait a minute. What if I forget to inclue the decimal, I'm right back where I started.
AAAAGGGHHH.
There is never a simple answer.
hey, how about we use points, and just have each point = $200,000 dollars. Wait, that's what we have now.
All right then, I change my vote to stay on points. Realism is nice, but simplicity is, well, simple.

Would Toronto and Montreal pay their players in US or Canadian DOLLARS and how would that translate in CASH related trades? J/K:D

When I sign a player to points, I feel like I am giving him chucky cheese tokens to ride on the barney train.
Money would add realism to a game that is based around realism.
cash would be more realistic, but only if it replaces points for everything (revenues, expenses, etc.)

Thousands of Iraqis who have been living in Jordan are heading back to Iraq to defend their country against the foreign invaders. (So much for the bs about the Iraqi people wanting us to "free" them.)
Maybe the iraqis in jordan asked, "who was first?"
The iraqis in iraq replied, "We where first, the american's are second."
The American's replied, " The Sumerian's where first"
The English reponded, " I thought the Akkadian's where first?"
The American's replied, "No, the akkadian's where second. The Akkadian's relieved the Sumerian's only to have the Sumerian's take their place years later."
The Jordan asked, " When do the Iraqis come in?"
The American's replied, " Babylonia relieved Sumerian, which played the position for a long time before the expansion of the Muslims. The Muslims beat the Persians 6-1."
Iraq shouted, "Lies, lies you infidels.."
Confused Jordan asked, " If the Sumerian's where first, Akkadian's second, Babylonia third then that would mean the Muslims where left short and the American's where stuck in the field trying to make a pitch to the UN which is the catcher. So then the only thing left is for the people of Jordan come out of retirement and play the field.
"The American's replied, " If you play the field you give up your rights as a free agent."
Jordan responded, " It's not over until its over"
Americans, " Watch out for the high heat iraqis."
Iraq, "We are not worried, we are using corked bats and pin tar. If all else fails we will hide behind the maskot with a baseball bat in our hands, screaming... Long live allah!!!!"
