not everyone is supposed to have the higher end upgrades

It is called making strategic choices on who is getting upgraded each season. This was how it was intended to be until people ran rampant with fire sales and such.



Bort has since changed his stance, and is not against everyone having equipment...

Also youtook a team from pros to uncapped with a full stadium and put everyone else around at a disadvantage, so only teams who do what you do are supposed to be fully equipped??


lol my team is not even close to fully equipped...not a good example

I dropped a team where every had level 56 upgrades and signed a team where everyone needed level 40/48 upgrades. I did not fire sale or in anyway game the financial system.

Now should we dive into YOUR team and TEAMS they are associated with.

Yeah instead of dropping down and letting a 'AAA' team move up I should have gutted in the pro leagues collected 25 million media revenue and all those ticket sales.

Then brought over a team fully upgraded them and post about how awesome I am

O wat someone did that already...

I'm neither a pro or WL owner. My team has worked hard to get to where we are. We're finally competitive without any gutting or gaming the system and everyone screaming for a complete reset wants to screw everyone who's gotten to where they are the right way... by hard work. What are the percentage of teams out there not gaming the system in one form or another? All those paying customers are going to be screwed because those who are no longer going to be able to game the system want a total reset to bring everyone who's worked hard down to the level they're going to get smacked down to.

Screw those who have been abusing the system. They're getting what they deserve.


My team is AAA and we worked our way up the tiers without gutting or gaming/exploiting the system and we've reached this point via hard work. We fought our way against all those CPUs, gut teams, elite teams that out level my team by a ton and we're almost there now... Almost Pro level BUT I would accept a game reset if that ever happens.

Can we do something about the minor leagues being a cesspool now?

Only read the first half of this , but the changes are all for the good for the big picture this is true, however, we all spent money on the game as it currently is and changes like this shouldn't negate that.

The best way to handle this is for all of these changes, including the Archetypes and equipment rule changes (Bort spoke of) should be put in place on a new set of leagues. Kind of a restart without a complete wipe.

Let the current leagues/teams continue as is, but no new teams/players go into them. This will stop a lot of the current complaints I have read throughout this novel.


+1 without the new leagues.

Well, 35 clicks in and I have read one observation that seems to make sense to everyone involved; start the Archetypes/new leagues in another cloud. Those that go there can claim to have won their way up on a level-playing field -- those who want to stay with the status quo, can (and I believe they should be able to.) In lieu of that, I think a complete overhaul is in order. You can't take from some and not all. Claiming it's too hard is weaksauce

Bort and Co. have two options:

1) be fair to everyone

2) be wrong.

I've spent thousands ... yes, thousands on this game. I've run my organization the 'right way' and now you're going to hose me out of FLEX because I've burned-out on the countless hours required to build my team to where it is today, and didn't decide to restart last season? Wonderful!

Not another dime, Bort ... not another dime. I didn't complain when you revamped the game in the past. I'm not that vocal a person because I believe if you don't like it, you should just leave -- so that's what I'll be doing. And that's my major change for you ... enjoy the game!

This is a dumb concept!! Because I worked hard at the seasons I played this game and spent my own money extending the team ownership to build the stadium I will lose all of that because I request a demotion. I am rebuilding my team at the lower caps NOT MY STADIUM!

Paying more than 20+ on a beta browser game is only going to end in pain, really.

You work to build your stadium, you finish at bottom of a very tough league and are dropped down next season and lose some of stadium and cash...Way to help the weaker teams IMO. There already at a disadvantage and you just added another one.

And I dont care what anyone says, Most (not all) teams at high levels already manipulated this system and it wont effect them anyways now. This just protects those that already manipulated the system at the top to insure they stay there now. Way to take care of your Bro's in tho WL and Pro's IMO.


you only lose stadium/cash if you drop below AA....otherwise you just lose fan support.

So basically this rule only effects teams that request demotion.....in AAA/Pro if you finish in the bottom 2 and get demoted your fan support is already terrible so you lose nothing.

Did you even read the FAQ posted on the subject?

Or in that case, any money at all. Putting a significant investment in a game that changes day after day, every season or so = not good idea.
