I don't think you do, because even if a shuffle occurs, it's going to put you at whatever level you recruited towards. So if the Archangels leave their roster together, they would almost assuredly end up in a league with 32 other teams with players at or below level 25.

Angels have nothing to do with this, my other team does have options we just would like to know what is going to be done. Angels are staying as is all the way to the Pros.

Actually, last season we got beat by two teams with one season under their belt, those capped expansion teams are better and better. And most of them all have the same levels for backups as they do for starters, as teams such as mine will have back-ups lower than yours and probably a few starters...that and EEBBB1 and EEBBB2 have been around for 2 seasons now, so if those teams that have been building that long get moved up...well our league will be competitive for the most part.

Yes, your Wolfpacks Lvl 45 QB will surely have a difficult time with the level 30 CBs coming up to play him. Heaven forbid he be forced to play against teams who happen to have level 45 CBs.

Dude listen to yourself, you're not making any sense. When a high school player goes to college is he immediately competitive against the competition? 99% of the time the answer is no. Likewise for a college player going to the pros. Most of the time they have to pay their dues for a bit before they catch up to the learning curve. I'm sure your team is very good. But you're promoting to an uncapped league. Its boggles the mind that you think that you should be handed the keys to the kingdom after just beginning.

Your analogy, while appreciated, is not accurate to the current situation. GLB lives do not correspond realistically to real life roles. A GLB player made in Season 4, for instance, does not correspond to someone in real life 1 year older than a GLB player made in Season 5, nor does he correspond to a College player with the Season 5 player a High School player. I'm not asking to be handed a league championship, I'm just asking for better competition. You are talking as though you would rather keep low leveled teams in your league to beat up on than have more teams who can actually content for a title, unless you're saying that you've paid your dues as a low leveled team in a high leveled league and now you deserve the right to be handed a playoff birth and potential league championship?

I understand your point. Not saying the system is perfect, but it will never be as long as teams go cpu or gut to slow build. The game will eventually cycle through the current level disparities.

I figured but I was just using them as an example. BTW, I like your confidence!

And the shuffle thread dies of apathy LOL

No sense caring about something that doesn't appear to be happening

i'd like any word one way or the other...by the way are we still at 2:1 for it? what's the official tally?

Last I saw it was 2:1 but it was only 20% of the A teams so I figure it's a non-issue

Most people don't even check the forums!

Id say most people check the forums, but maybe not this particular forum.

I am in EE A. Shuffle please. http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6591

Most of the teams would not need shuffle. The 26% or whatever the count is is about the number of teams that have level 50's and think they will get an easy trophy. Competion is better, I think the higher level teams are scared to face equal teams and hide behind "it will happen sometime". How about not in A, AA I could understand, AAA it is a must. If you do not want a more challenging game take up a different sim. The shuffle levels the field some, having level 50's beat up on a bunch of teams fresh from BBB is not what the game is about.

^^^^counted in original tally fwiw.

38/39 for, 13 against.

That's actually higher for the against %wise than I would've guessed. Go us

I am starting to understand the frustration of agents in this situation. I did not fully understand because my players have always been on teams that stuck with their original rosters. They would only upgrade when they lost players. I do the same as an owner.

The problem seems to be that the teams that get promoted early are usually a team full of boosters. The agents planned their builds very well so that they could join the expansion league at level 13 with high XP. They boosted 3 times to reach level 16 before the first game. Then boosted 3 more times in the playoffs. So we are left with teams full of level 23 and 24 players.

These teams get promoted to leagues that are full of high leveled players. The builds may be questionable since they were the bottom leagues not to long ago. Still its enough to freak out any owner. This causes some owners to get high leveled playes and the arms race begins. Well, this sucks the life out of about 45 boosters. Multiply that by the number of teams promoted and you just lost a good chunk of change. The funny thing is this has happened every season.

Now the level 23 to 24 players must play backup to a higher leveled player or find another team. They can't get back into their old league because its capped at 21. So they are forced to backup where ever they go. These players were the future of the expansion league. They proved themselves to be the best of the best by winning early. Now they are doomed to backup. This is the frustration that agents have with the current system from what I understand.
