So in other words, I should've promoted HIDP to the Pro Leagues this season instead of letting them rot a season in Regional Pro before taking them srsly next season?

All this will do is make the main problem worse. The fact that there is an Age gap in the Age-Based Reg. Pro Leagues!! We shouldn't have D240 guys not even in Plateau, Playing Dots that are D445 and have Builds maxed out. There is room for D240 Dots to Play 1 more Season with there own kind before getting tossed in with the Lvl. 79's. I don't know why so many Agents can't see this!!

Also, this better mean that top 24 stay in the WL and you promote only 8.

It's BS to be honest. You have to add another league in between Regional Pro and National Pro and call it the "sand bagger" league.


Regional pro has to be capped now. If not you will have good to great teams stuck in a league with teams that are good enough to get to pro in the first place, but now have a level advantage over 80% + teams.

Not a good situation. As a long time player, I call this a stall in progression at Regional Pro.......this will lead to many players leaving long time teams to go pro and many teams folding.

Sure....Pro will be more competitive, but you've completely jacked the level below....where being competitive finally meant something.

An average team pays easily hundreds of dollars a season to compete. Who wants to pay this to have a season to catch up? No fucking body. This is absolutely not acceptable and I will finally have a reason to tell this game to pound sand.

Valid Cow thoughts

If you can't win a pro conference, and yiu don't belong in the wl. Even with them condesing them, they won't be as strong as they were back in the day like season 12-17 or so. Ugh I would take a 9th seed over a 4th place team

The world league is suppose to be the best teams in glb. We don't get that when we promote 4th place teams, nothing is going to change in the world league. I'm sure they have their reasons for it, but it can't be to increase the overall competition at the wl level, not with 4 4th place teams promoting every season and then demoting. If you can't win a conference, you can't make the playoffs in the wl

I think the point being missed here is that the 3rd and 4th place teams will still be as good as the current "trophy winners" since if there were still 8 leagues (vice the new 4) they would have won a league, just a weaker league.

It could also easily be argued that the 3rd or 4th place team in the new much tougher National Pro leagues would be as good, maybe better, than the 17-32 placed teams in WL.

16 up/down works beautifully now...

Yes, but a lot of those 3rd and 4th place teams are just promote and demote the next season.

Uh LOL. There's always a huge gap between the 9th and 10th place teams and the 11-16.

Sure they will..... but even the trophy winners of the past have had a pretty large % that did that.

In fact, I would say that the WL has a handful of regulars and the rest are a mixture of teams that bounce back and forth between Pro and WL as they never have staying power.
