I don't believe that anyone here doesn't care that you had to waste a lot of time. I believe that Nutlaw and others were offering at least a short-term workaround to allow you to accomplish what you want with your converted league.
I think this thread is suffering to certain extent from "multiple topic syndrome." I know that Markus indicated above that he is looking into at least some components of what is mentioned in this thread. It's possible that this issue will be wholly resolved by however Markus addresses this issue.
On the other hand, it is a big challenge to implement a new system like this. Everyone has different ideas about different aspects of the system, and different ways of playing the game, and unfortunately, it's just not mathematically possible to make every player work exactly as they did in OOTP 9. But, that doesn't mean we're not willing to keep looking at things to try to make them better. I'm sorry that it has negatively impacted your converted league, and we'll do our best to make adjustments.
