For everything above the Capped Leagues
Eliminate Oceania and One of the Europes
here is your new league set up
1 WL
6 Pro
12 AAA
24 AA
take the oceania and one europe teams and redistribute them. Teams that made the playoffs in those leagues in Pro go into pro in the other leagues, those that didn't get distributed into AAA. You make room in Pro in the 6 leagues by demoting non-playoff teams in order of record down to AAA. Then repeat those steps in AAA and down and all league will be filled up. 6 teams demote from WL each season from each region instead of 8 in this scenario.
AA is horrible right now, 24 leagues is probably perfect for how many teams/players you have.
Very simple solution. We'll have 6 great regions with great competition. Not 8 with waaay too many AA's and horrible competition below AAA.
For the capped leagues...a little tougher, but the level caps don't work. Even though SSB has effectively been killed, non-boosters with 8 old season lvl 38 players still ruin things for the boosters.
You have to decide how interested you are in keeping non-boosters around and if those profiles really bring you money in.
If they don't and you don't care about them
1) Leagues with date creation caps
if you do
2) Make boosting a requirement to enter non-casual capped leagues. How you would this is have a maximum level AND a minimum creation date for capped leagues that use a full AI setup. Make the casual leagues have no such rules. That way, casual players can play casually...serious players play seriously. You'd probably have to reduce the amount of regular capped leagues and increase the amount of casuals in this scenario
Just to qualify my plan, I currently own my own business...I did in gross transactions about 10 million dollars in 2008/2009 (no I didn't make that much..only a fraction, a small fraction, nobody ask me to buy them flex please ). I have no employees and do it all myself. I'm not some angry ass 16 year old with ideas, running businesses and putting together good solid plans is what I do. Take it for what it's worth.I would back this plan with some other suggested modifications applied..they are:
1. End ALGs.
2. Reduce roster sizes to 45/48.
3. The making fame mean something suggestion.
4. Base the league caps on date of creation AND force non-boosters into the Casual leagues.
5. Arrange teams in leagues based on the effective level (once items 1-3 have been put in place).
6. Don't (ever) implement the coaches idea.
7. Leave team financing as is or revise the current planned changes to incorporate a lot less than proposed.
8. Not a big fan of the proposed training changes, but they may not be too bad once Item #1 has been implemented.
