Christ, you guys never even went to community college did you?


Actually I have two graduate degrees, but that's not really the point of this discussion thread so keep it on topic please.

no, don't like spending the amount of money I used to on this game especially with all the whiners and attempts to appease them by admin

So to summarize....

A team that sucked will get promoted to the worst league in the next tier

Theoretically, the non-boosters will sign with all these sucky teams and be competitive

What will really happen, is that 5-6 (at least) of the teams in the worst league will sign boosters and dominate the league based purely on talent level alone and the non-boosters will get left behind.

Unless you "re-sort" on the last day of the off season based on signings, I don't see this working and non-boosters will die a quick death, which is probably the intent I guess

It is better to make 1 league at each age a non-boosting league and limit it to that, so everyone doesn't become a non-booster and GLB loses cash, but at the same time non-boosters have a place to play

So this has no effect on Pee Wee if I am reading it correctly?

Is it possible more tiers will be added in the future to help further stratify teams with other teams of similar ability?



Tiers within the leagues... yes.

lol non-booster rage is so funny...finally I can care about minor leagues and not have to worry about people cheating the system to gain training advantages. Best day of GLB next to when they killed SSB scum!

This is a perfect solution.
No one is penalized for barely making the playoffs
No one has an incentive to throw a game
The teams that like to game plan, recruit long term agents and win every game they can end up playing one another
The teams that don't or are getting established get to play each other.
The regular tiers of the uncapped leagues get the non-boosters and get to play each other.
The spread of ages in each league is wide enough to make recruiting possible.
Serious teams play each other
A place for non-boosters
New owners learning the ropes have similar competition
Sounds like a win win for everyone.

Good Job GLB!

You lala land must be nice to live in, because pretty much every point you made is jaded by something that is not GLB reality.

That's not really possible because then you have issues like:

-- 40 non boosting teams, 8 boosting teams get left out
-- 20 non boosting teams, 12 empty slots
-- people see a non boosting league and want to play in it since those players don't have to pay to boost, neither should they

People can still play the game if they don't boost, it will just be in a different manner then the dominating the middle levels of the minors game that they are used to.
