Warrior General Games

yea. i agree with Nico. in order to even things out, they need to get rid of the 13 cap, give us MORE money to construct seating and cut us some slack on the chemistry. then we might have a fighting chance. as far as money goes, there's no way in the world to catch up to the AA guys on stadium construction. their money power will get them all the talent they need while we have to nickel and dime for the lower level players.

If they do prmotoe side there should be some help in all this. Maybe a chestiry free period. Would need ot make lots of changes to build up side.

I dont want to be promoted as i am afraid we will be killed by higher level teams

I have a suggestion though

How about they Keep the Candian A league the exact same next season but raise the signing cap to 16 or 17?

hell no remove the cap !

Keeping the cap will only delay the issue we're talking about here. Raising the cap to lv16 or 17 isn't going to accomplish much if anything. Now if they wanted to implement a lv24 or lv25 cap that might work, but then why have a cap at all...the only players above that level are pretty much settled into pro or AAA level teams.

Keeping the cap for season 4 would make the promoted teams then have the same issue we're talking about here for season 5.

I am a GM on a Canada A team and I vote for the no promotion

For those that are suggesting a Canada A team can step up next season and compete with the AA teams...

The worst Canada AA league has an average starter level of nearly 16 (Canada AA#4)

The best Canada A league (#1) has an average starter of 8.7...let's go out on a limb and say the best teams are between 10 and 11. That's still a 6 level discrepancy. Sure we can boost, but so can they!!

Agree. There is no way we can compete with AA. NO WAY!!! Go up get throttled AND HOPE to get moved back down 2 seasons from now. I am sure that is what they want..........

Come on Bort, tell us that we don't move up next year!

Next season here will be competitive anyhow with most of us probably having a number of higher level free agents lined up. But I'd like to keep the core of my team together and just bring in the high level guys to complement what I've built, not tear it all down and start over, which is what I'd have to do in AA.

Think of the flip side as well. The AA's that get moved down into this young and lower lvl division. It will be a virtual feeding ground more then likely even if as rbegood said that teams make a few minor adjustments bringing in a few higher lvls they have lined up. Still advantage AA drop out.

tdot,

Have you looked at the levels of the Canada AA leagues? Those teams have starters across the board between 17-22 now. That's not the top teams I'm talking middle of the pack and lower. Those teams will be lv 20-24 next season (if they don't boost). So if they boost they'll be 23-27...no way one of our teams can go in and compete next season without tearing apart, restarting and losing all chemistry.

Just a question, since I'm not an owner and don't really have stake in this, but if the A teams aren't promoted, won't this just make it worse? So next season, the A teams will build their players up to 17-22 level. But won't the AA teams build just as much? If the AA teams will be up to 23-27 next season, won't they be even higher after another season? 29-33? It seems the A team promoted will still be at a major disadvantage.

No, what we are proposing is a year without the level cap so we could sign "a few" higher level players that would be on there level. and yes our younger players will gain levels and so will those of Canada AA. However if we have a year without the cap the A level players will make big gains against the AA players since higher level players gain less game xp than lower level players.

Based on the xp curve either/both the A leagues will gain ground on the other leagues based on pure straight xp lvls. Xp gets slower not just by daily XP which everyone knows about but appears to be game xp as well. So they will lvl slower and it has a chance of allowing the cap'd A leagues to catch an extra lvl maybe 2 on them. It is not much but with the addition of being able to sign unrestricted that gap can shrink even further.

I can tell you from my experience working with a late expansion team in Canada AAA, 4+ levels (assuming you can make up 2) is still a very big gap. I think the current direction of the posts on the suggestions forum reflects reality...most teams in the conference championship games are going to be "trying to lose" unless promotion is delayed a season.

The cap only stands for the first year anyways, right? AND it only applies to bringing in FAs...

It'll all even out so why stress...
