i havent looked the last few days, but there had been cpu teams in pro at the start of pro season, and even now, not every pro team has a full roster. and there's only a few teams in regpro that have full rosters and could even compete at the pro level.

i really dont see how this game survives to 2018 in its current form. maybe change the regpro not to allow players that have hit plateau. i created 2 rookie kickers and i have zero confidence that they'll even hot plateau..

That's a smart idea. Those players need to be recycled, or to play in Natty Pro (or in isolated instances World League).

which pro? regional pro? national pro? WL pro?

maybe do 2 and not 3?

how about get rid of WL, and make that the name of the Pro tourney. Make that tourney double elimination or something

yes.

you really cant do something to 1 w/o affecting all 3. i just couldnt believe that there were at least 2 cpu owned teams at the start of preseason. that's insane. i bought a cpu team in regpro #2 and there appears to only be 1 team in the league that is made up of mostly l79s.

How about just changing the age limits on those two levels? Might force them up like the true pyramid GLB started with or make them retire those crappy stat whoring old as shit dots that some agents keep around.

Regional Pro level ages 240 - 280

Natty Pro 280+

South Atl - 4 teams with incomplete rosters using cpu players. 1 team only has cpu players
pacific - 3 teams using cpu players, another team cpu-OWNED
north american - 2 teams using cpu players, 1 team only cpu players, 1 team cpu-OWNED
europe - 3 teams using cpu players. 1 team cpu owned.

i didnt even look to see how many teams didnt have the full 55 man rosters. thats 17 teams that couldnt fill their rosters with 100% human dots.

i'd cut the wl as a league and keep the 4 pro leagues. only top 2 teams from each conf make the playoffs so only 2 rnds needed, then the 4 winners fight it out for world championship on days 38 and 40.

only plateau players can be pro. post/pre plateau players can play in reg pro.

move the non managed teams into limbo. remember when teams that werent actively managed were taken after? now we have at least 4 leagues of teams that are owned but effectively dead.

but these ae most like suggestions, so those arent allowed any more

well, the last change they did make was to change league structures, and that was after beta so maybe Bort will hit it up again

I'd guess that over 30 percent of the high-end builders build *solely* for the World League--I don't think dropping the World League is going to help the game.

Funnel the best competition into the Pros, and then limit the ability to sandbag post-Plateau dots into Regional Pro.

its because full teams of day 280 level 79 are playing in regional pro... until they do a double sort you will have CPU's in pro...

this is a better idea

leave WL alone
