*** POLL - Reduce free agency stage count? ***

It was brought up I think in a community forum the idea to reduce the free agency stage count. Currently early free agency runs for 6 sims, and late free agency runs for 3. Any feedback on making a change in MFN-2 for next season? I'm thinking reducing early FA to 4 and late FA to 2.

The pro is that the stages will go faster. The biggest con, really, is that players will be more likely to sign in early FA 1.

Let me know your thoughts, if there's not much chatter I'll just plan to leave it as is.

I'd prefer it as is. Perhaps one of the new leagues could be fast paced?
Like the game, but anything 7 days a week every week gets tough in the long run.

Honestly, I am all for this but think that the top 10-20 FAs should not sign on week one and give teams a chance to counter any offer. Or maybe the top 5 FAs at each position should absolutely not sign in FA week 1. I mean how often do the top FAs sign right away? Essentially never as they want to see what money will come...

I like the idea of leaving it as is and also the thought that at least the top 3 FA's at each position would not sign the first time out. Top 5 is perhaps a bit much but top 3 for sure, either way would be good though.
