I'm not saying this will happen by any means but suggestions mods make have an uncanny way of becoming reality. most people ive spoken to who own teams would like to insure something this ridiculous is smashed before it ever gets started. I'd much rather overreact to this than to say i never acted at all. i signed up for west europe not south america not africa not another continent. i did not bust my ass for 48 hours building my team from scratch to be competitive HERE for it to be taken away by some guy that wants to create better competition for his pro teams at the expense of every other league out there. sorry i just dont agree with this on any level by season 5 things will have worked themselves out naturally. patients is a virtue.

i like how he mentions the level caps are a PROBLEM. i sure as hell didnt have a problem with it. why doesnt he ask us the people that have been through it if they had a problem? hell i didnt even think i would get a team being #270. i got my team at 4 am and didnt sleep for 48 hours and i was able to put together a pretty descent team. those who put in the time and the effort and had the right tact you see that reflected in their records. some peole were less fortunate and had to play catch up. some people settled for the player market and let them decide your fate by starting all those level 7's and 8's that demanded those positions. then again some settled for nothing less than level 12 and 13's with great builds able to be molded that boosted and had custom. if my team were to move id prefer it be Earned through the "elegation" process whether up or down. and what fairness would there be because some teams were able to recruit well their teams will just be moved up leagues increasing their ticket sales. why do we even need to mess with anything? why does there even need to be a change? he says these things are problems. i say stop spending so much time stirring up trouble. seriously how effective can you be as an owner of 6 teams and gm like 20 more and develop over 30 players and moding also? have all his teams moved to the same league so he can have his "competition" and beat up on himself. it might make for some interesting game tactics if he has to play himself every week.

It's the problem with boosted guys, once you start getting to levels like 13, they're about the same as a standard level 10 guy, taking into account the extra training bonuses of lower stats etc.
Don't forget the guys that don't have custom equipment, and start putting way too many points in special abilities, way too early.

I made some mistakes with my first couple players with the special abilities. At levels 16 & 14, they are finally starting to come into their own. What I do now, is stick with putting skill points in base stats until at least level 16.

I personally loved the level caps for the new teams, and I had 3 friends who had no contracts at level 14 lol... Poor guys

I, like b_bur got my team at 4 am, after thinking I was going to wait out another season, and I was up until 6 sending contracts, woke up at 9, and got right back to sending contracts. If I had know that the leagues would switch EVERY YEAR, I would have gotten me a bit more sleep, and I wouldave eaten more lol

Its the guys who made an effort to put together a great team who getting the downfall here, and the less fortunate teams benefit from some mods acts.

What happens if they put a crap team in a crap divsion then the dude wakes up and says hey im going to put together a pro team right quick. Unless they plan on shaking up the divisions every 4 days their plan wont help any more than anything else.

After one season of a big restructuring, things won't move as much after that because everyone will be about where they should be, period.

I don't think the game has been around long enough to say 'we need to keep our rivals', just make new ones.

I am in favor of this and it should be based on overall team ranking, per the system in the match-up screen and stay within your respected league (USA, Africa, etc).

The point is right now no team has ever beaten a team ranked 6 points higher on the match-up screen and only about 10% of teams ranked 3 points lower win.

Right now there is way to much of an imbalance in MOST leagues.

What a load of crap. Why on earth should a league be made up of only slack-ass owners who didn't do any work on their team? There is no way a league like that should be assembled.

Putting 16 well oiled teams in 1 league and 16 awful teams in another is a joke. Rewarding some lame lazy owner with a league championship over other slackers while owners who put forth effort won't even make the playoffs is just utterly foolish.

im sorry but in the capped west europe a leagues there is absolutely NO reason there should be a 6 point difference in the match up screen. we all had the same opportunity to sign the best players available at lvl 13 or below. some owners let the players dictate their teams direction when they signed those lvl 7's and 8's that demanded starting positions. the owners that wanted a championship run recruited the players best suited to help them do so. im sorry we all started on an even level starting field there is no room for excuses in west europe a.

QFT

I agree that we all started on a level playing field. That is what has made this so fun.

It will be interesting to see how the average player lvl penalty/bonus is incorporated into playing in an A league when you have team owners, GM's and agents who are going to try and get their higher lvl players onto their A-league team before season 4 - when the lvl 13 cap is removed.

I know there are several guys on our squad that are looking at adding their higher levels. But it may not be feasible if they institute the penalty.

You're not counting those teams where the owner bought the Hall of Fame package and own every single one of their players. I can link you to two of them if you want... As a matter of fact...here you go.

yeah and i also saw one of those "hermit owners" suggest today in the suggestions forums that the league level cap is to high and should be lowered to 8 or 9. bunch of crap if you ask me.

You keep bringing those teams up, as if they're soley responsible for your team getting thumped by the rest of the conference.

I'm one of those so called *hermit owners*. I hate the idea of re-alignment, and level caps. I don't buy the Hall of Fame package. I've been buying flex points a little at a time, until I have enough to boost for the next season. I work for a living.

This offseason I will do my best to sign players that are better than what I have, even if it means selling off some of my own.

I started the season with mostly level 7 players, and yet my next game, I'm +9 in the strength points. Check it out.

There is a reason for a 6 point difference in some cases. We started our team from the ground up with low level players and gave up more than 6 in many cases, but are narrowing the gap every day. We set out to win in season 5 and be competitive in season 4. We have a lot of teams to get our own back on and don't want to lose the teams we played this season. It's a game, some teams have to lose, this year it was us. We are not slack, we are playing the game the way we want (same as those teams who own all the players). If a team outclasses the rest of the league it will be promoted. I don't want to be put into another division with teams that did badly. Our team want to build on the work we did this season and get our revenge on our rivals, if it doesn't work then we have played the wrong way. We have a good league with an active forum and owners we like playing against. People will always whine about not winning or the way others are playing.

As B Bur and jcoker007 said we all started on an even playing field. We want to win by showing the way we are doing things will work, not because we have been put in a league with bad teams.
