I heard...

Bort will make his triumphant return to the game that made him a bajillionaire

He will code in some new accelerated development tweaks...

The rookie tier will be going away. That niche will still be filled by pee-wee teams for players wanting that low level feel and experience.

Agents will choose whether to start a pee-wee dot or a regular dot. During creation, all players (pee-wee and regular) will receive 30 TPs instead of 10. BTs will remain at 12.

Regular players will start with 100 SPs instead of 15 and will get 50 TPs in addition to the starting 30.

The Off-season will be going from 8 days down to 4 (41,42,43,44). The Pre-season will be going from 9 days down to 4 (-3,-2,-1,0). The team signing freeze will be removed, as will all other restrictions on signing and releasing players.

The Leagues will be re-named "High School, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Arena, and Professional"

The World League will be replaced by the World Invitational Tournament consisting of the top 32 teams in the Professional tier, from the previous season.

He's coding in a feature so that you can save a player's build at the end of every season, up to Level 60. Agents will be able to "Reload" that build (for an appropriate Flex cost of course) to use for an "instant dot" for any age appropriate team. This will be the long term fix for teams falling apart due to lost players.

He's also introducing a "Coordinator Mode" where agents can be the OC or DC for a cpu team filled with cpu dots. The agent starts with a University team. If the Agent is successful, the Agent will unlock the ability to coordinate a Semi-Pro level team.

Minor adjustments include, updating the "Position Demand" calculation, and pruning the player database down to better represent active players.

I heard trades and selling inactives for cash would be relevant again

Hell, I might even buy some flex for this.

Yes, it does sound good. Whether any of that will occur

Not a chance in Hell.

I was just hoping for punch and pie ...

But, NOT onboard with the replacement of World League with a tournament. World League is the biggest reason that a lot of agents are still around.

The rest of it has a LOT of merit.

coaches

ST tactics...like was hinted at in the 1st seasons.

The addition of tournaments made WL obsolete imo... WL was originally intended to settle the arguments about which Pro League was tougher, and who the top team was.

Indy has won countless GLB tourney titles and yet I still care more about our WL golds. What am I missing?

Most WL teams don't care about the Pro tournament.
