I'd be curious to hear what the new teams think about this, but I think temporarily suspending the bot flush would help keep new teams around. Or, if possible, protect teams still receiving free Media Center contributions from being flushed up.
I'm only looking at the state of Fire right now. Our Fire 1 league is struggling. We had 7 bots at the start of the season. But we currently have quite a few Fire 2 teams, although I believe this the first season for all of them. Time will tell how many will stick around for the entire season. But it seems to me that promoting new teams up to the Level 1 leagues too rapidly can result be discouraging. And with 7 bots, at least one team is going to get promoted via the bot flush and potentially more if we lose any more Fire 1 teams. |

It really feels like the gap between the leagues are too high and new starters don't have the chance to play many games against opponents at a similar level.
Personally I think it would be good to reduce the number of leagues to make them more competitive. Instead of 8x League 1, 2, 3... it would be better to have only 4x League 1, 2, 3... After season XX the teams ranked 1 & 2 in each division of League 1 could move to the now combined League 1, while the times ranked 3 & 4 would move to League 2. New teams could start in League 3. |

I think that is a programming Change which would Need a lot of effort, since the Overall structure has a lot of influence on a lot of processes.
Overall I agree, the structure should be different to have a closer gap of power Levels inside a league. |

I think we need 8 teams per division in Elite and start from there....very few interesting games right now if you are not an Elite member....and in Elite is crazy right now, there is a possibility to win the Elite bowl and relegate in the same time

All we need to do is to give new players a complete stadium and a decent team to begin with - as in real life - allowing them to take over an existing franchise, not saddling them with players who wouldn't even make a primary school team.
Still I have said this many times before and always been shot down because 'new players need to learn how to play the game'. I expect this time to be no different.  |

Yeah and I think it's destroying the original spirit of RZA. It keeps getting easier and easier to build a good team here. When I started it took me ~12 seasons to get a decent team without using the TM. That's 3 years of real life and that's exactly what I enjoyed so much about RZA, the slow build approach. If people wanna manage a great team from day 1 they can play Madden.

the problem is from my point of view not the starting setup of the team, it's the difference between a new team and a few season old team and a lot of seasons old team, pressed in worst case in 1 league.
But to change it it's tough. I did once suggest to have some kind of sandbox league independent of the regular regions and levels and you advance from there after a few seasons. The benefit is, the amount of sandbox leagues can be adjusted dynamic, since it's not in the regional structure. You need more than 32 spots, make a new one, need more than 64, make a new one. You only advance after a certain level is reached, you win a conference. Something like that. Since those sandboxes are full or almost full, you have already quite competitve opponents. |

Just a basic idea I would like to throw in. I am prepared for getting lynched.
How about we just narrow the range of player ages, based on league level? Example: For the top 8 teams in Elite players decide to leave beginning from 26. The midrange 16 teams lose their players from 28. The bottom 8 teams and top 16 teams of level one start retiring players with 29 and so on. What would happen? A.) Another management spect B.) these super strong teams would lose power automatically in a higher way than average or "bottom" teams And I would like to add a change for wages: players played in Elite, start becoming more greedy. Maybe they ask for 20% more wages. So Top teams lose more money for their teams. Yep, kind of a rough idea only. For the overall game this means new managers get closer to top teams in terms of team strength. I could be wrong. Last edited on 2019-03-05 19:16:50 by pete |

Regarding the salary thing I think it makes a lot of sense, succesful players should ask for more money, maybe based on trophies and experience in Elite too. Elite Bowl winner +10% salary, Elite Bowl participant +7.5% salary, +2% per season playing in Elite etc... (throwing in random numbers here, the details would have to be worked out properly before implementation obviously.)
I'm not sure about the retirement age idea. I had never thought of it so I'm neither for nor against it at this point. I have an 8 hour bus ride coming up so I'll have time to think about it more in the coming hours  |
