Suggested

Join / Leave League

The gain is their car design resets to the strenght and weakness of the cd they join with. So it’s a way to change the start of season design for a car. Is it cheating or using the features available in the game? Idk


But when a manager joines during season, the design for next season may be faulty (n+1 bug). In this case to get a “normal” design, the manager has to do the leave and rejoin trick. So to punish a leave and rejoin, that’s a bridge too far imo

 New joiners, if they are experienced and know what they are doing have a much bigger advantage than has been suggested in the early part of the season when a no reset rule has been in place.  I’ve seen a decent league transformed by allowing resets and no longer new joiners or managers swapping between their accounts have a big early season advantage.  There is also nothing tricky in resetting you don’t end up with any more starting DP it’s just more targeted rather than being spread across a lot of factors.  It’s not like managers put it all into the same attribute either.  Done focus on Acceleration, others Handling or FE depending on what CDs they have, refuelling/no refuelling & calendar etc.

What’s next banning use of multiple CDs during the season?  And let’s not forget many managers use spreadsheets or mods to do all the hard work so car resetting is relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things 

You are right everyone will have their opinion and not everyone will agree with it.  In terms of your reply though I think your rationale is over simplistic and not really correct.

Firstly, you are assuming everyone who resets goes for the same starting CD, they don’t. Some reset to Acceleration, others to Handling or FE depending on whether it is a fuelling/non-refuelling league, the calendar and how they plan to develop their car throughout the season.  You are assuming they have a massive advantage they don’t(arguably an advantage just as new joiners from another league do).

Secondly, it’s not cheating if everyone has the opportunity to reset.  I know managers in leagues I’ve raced where resetting is allowed choose not to do so because they believe a more balanced distribution of DP is more advantageous.  Remember the total number of DP is the same regardless of whether you reset or not.   I don’t know the implications for hosts, although I’m sure I’ve been in leagues where they have reset.

Thirdly, There is also no such thing as a perfect CD, it’s race and car development dependent.  If the starting race is say US I would prefer to have as my highest DP in Handling rather than accel.

Finally, you are conveniently ignoring new joiners and managers swapping accounts every season which has the same effect.  There also other things which give managers an advantage over others which arguably are more significant than car resetting.  Would you also ban multiple use of CDs during the season and what about managers who swap their drivers frequently to get best use of favourite track?
