I don't know how difficult is to set some rotation in league schedule. But for me it would be nice addition. As now we have almost the same opponents every season. Schedule like in NFL would be optimal in my opinion.

I did not include that rotation, since the match scheduling is an already complicated task due the stupid NFL ruling...having rotation would make it more complicating, without a real benefit except "would be nice"

Have to disagree on the "real benefit"

NFL Schedule rotation is in, so that there is a real mix of opponents to play so not always strong vs. weak

This is same here - if "unlucky" you play every season the same strong - if lucky the same weak opponent by default

I would also prefer and not only for "would be nice" reasons a rotation parallel to NFL style

I understand programming is complex - but it will be also good for the ingame competition

This is not valid, since there is a rotation in the league already, due botflush and relegation. This is why I think the benefit is quite limited

I have to player one of the strongest division for eternity ....

To topic: I can understand, that the full NFL rule is tough, but wouldn't it be easy to at least switch the non-conference game?
That's a whole block.

And this is exactly the negative creating a spirale!

If one team always play weak teams -> this weak teams more likely to get out of league -> new teams come in which are naturally weaker

Bot teams mostly times become also "weak & uninterested" players - most of times, not always, and this teams also be replaced by newer younger "weaker" teams

I stay with my opinion - i would increase comptetitiveness with rotation - sorry Admins i have strong to disagree on this.

What I don't understand in the current schedule is the game that you have to play against the teams finishing at the same rank in each division of your conference the previous year... It doesn't seem to be that way in RZA...

We used the NFL2009 or 2010 schedule, replaced all teams with internal numbers, and created the schedule based on that internal number.

That means, you play each year the game NFC west spot3 vs NFC south spot2...just as example
