New announcement. I'm so glad I clarified so I could sign FA's and keep all the players on the team together. So I guess this would mean if we get a reshuffle and a cap then we would definitely be uncapped. And if our highest player counts as the median, guess we'll go against a team stacked with our highest level. YAY!


You're in an uncapped league now. The "worst" that can happen is you get shuffled into ... an uncapped league.

As for your continued use of the word "lie", please stop. It is clear that Bort did not originally intend (when he responded to your question) to shuffle EE. Due to the outcry when he clarified this point for the general public with the list of leagues that would be shuffled, he is considering changing his mind. Even if he has already changed his mind, that does not make his original statement a lie, just wrong.

Wow, I know the announcements can sometimes not quite be clear as it doesn't really allow for questions, but it's not this bad. Let's try and summarize the process.

- There is no "Hard Cap" which would make it so that if you had a level 30 player, and the rest of the team was level 15, you would be put in a level 30 league, this will not happen.

-Teams will be relegated based on overall median (middle level), with a weighted bonus for the top 25% of the roster (in other words, you can't weigh down your team with a ton of level 1's, to get in a level 13 capped league with level 30's).

-CPU's DO NOT COUNT as players, just humans.

-After all the teams in your REGION (Africa A, Eastern Europe BBB, etc), have been lumped together by this formula, a level cap will then be placed on the league, BASED ON THE TEAMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLUMPED TOGETHER.

-Unless you plan on completely building a level 30 team after Day 1, or something similar, absolutely no action needs to be taken, as the formula will automatically clump you with the teams that are most similar to yours. If you plan on bringing in a ton of level 30 players after the shuffle, you need to request to be put into a league with at least a level 30 cap.

-If you don't make this request, and are put in a level 20 capped league, AFTER THE SHUFFLE, you will not be able to bring in level 30 players, as the league is Capped at 20.


Perfect!

So in summation so I can go to bed:

--If EEA is shuffled there will be no capped leagues.

--We will be shuffled into a league with "like" leveled teams.

--There is no chance for our median level to be outleveled by 15-20 plus levels in the league after the shuffle.

Is this Correct?


Yep. Of course if there's no caps, somebody could still recruit to outlevel you by the 20 levels I suppose.


Here's the lowdown. I'm game with that.

Keep in mind that this shuffling is based on your team's median level. If you have one level 40 player, your median level is 40!


Did I miss something or is Bort now just making shit up?

Someone needs to look up the term "median" in the dictionary and then apply that correctly in order to provide clear announcements that don't add to the mass confusion.


His comment was in reference to a team of all CPUs + 1 level 40 human. What he is trying to say is that only human players count. So if you have 1 human level 40, your median level is, in fact, 40. He's warning people not to try to game the system with low level CPUs, who will just be ignored in the calculations.

Would like to get shuffled to an A league where we aren't outleveled by 10 at every position...

It's about you having a solid group of agents from a lv 13 capped team and not wanting to dump the ENTIRE team and bring in a whole crew of new, higher level players.

Exactly. We assembled our roster a full season and a half before they stepped onto the field together for the first time. Why should I feel like I need to cut all of those guys after we worked so hard to put this group together? We know we're not bound for the pro leagues for at least a few more seasons, but it would be nice to play in some competitive games in the meantime.

more like it is a punishment to people who do recruit and recruited a full roster of dedicated teammates before this first season ever and dont want to start hiring mercenaries to compete. We want to have a level playing field.

I could be wrong here, but isn't GLB the most fun when it is competitive? Anyone who likes winning game 255-0 probably never played a real sport in their entire lives. Just saying.
