There's was 148 teams six months ago, and about 104 now. Removing a tier has helped a lot at keeping the leagues competitive despite the drop in teams. Something meaningful has to aid team ownership though. Too few free agents out there right now, and not enough teams per league. Still think just making players free and charging for boosts would really help a lot. That and allowing PuPs on any tier, since teams often disband due to agents going inactive...leaving them with gaping roster holes.

I agree, I would probably make alot of players if they were free, non boosting of course.

This. We couldn't even get a S* LB up to 1980s this season because he couldn't be made until players caught up and got the S* points, then it took until day 7 to PUP him to Vet, which would start his chem at 0...
Having players be free is stupid, too many people would just create players and not boost them which would just piss Bort and Corndog off. I get that you all are trying to increase the user base, but you have to remember this is a source of income.
Instead of completely free players, it'd be better to have a free player at each tier. That way everyone (new users) can fill up all their S* bars. And making a player at any tier would be amazing. These new users come in when rookie teams are full/rookie recruitment is over. Allowing us to create players at any tier would be huge.
Of course there is the factor that many users feel it would be very hard to be competitive or get a spot on existing teams, given some of the power users that exist.

nothing to stop guys from staying at Vet if you can create at any tier tho, as much as I like your idea
