Recently catch has created a bunch of lower level teams but I haven't been very active over there lately so I don't know if they are actively being used to test with.
I had brought that up in the Q and A the last one

Would you guys consider adding testers for pee wee level to test level 8-12 dots? For things like passing, defending the HB/FB pass, pump fakes, pathing etc etc that could be tested before the season starts so either Bort could make a little change here or there in his code to the lower level, give a little boost here or there or so we could warn the pee wee community that X won't be a good Idea this season because of Y factor and you might want to go another route.
This would keep teams from wasting a month and money when they would know forehand what to expect instead of basing things off of last season and getting reamed from changes made. Passing built teams didn't stand much of a chance this season and in pee wee with so few attributes to spread around it really matters on what tyoe of team you build for what the sim is built for that particular season.
Will always consider things of that nature. Next time we have tester openings, I encourage people to apply and offer this type of input. One of the problems with a game that is in beta and is still in development is that we have to prioritize the issues that we work on and test. We understand the frustrations with the moving parts of the sim but we are working towards making the game one where we seldom make sim changes and in order to do that, we often have to make adjustments that affect people's current strategies and visions.
