It's like having a 5th division last season with more than 3 active teams was unfair. My 5 Div we here 7 active teams, so now with 6 top teams will be just great. What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. |

There are teams like EGV that had a 5 div with few active players and now again with a big advantage, i think its time to put all team equal. But how? |

I can't get why people are complaining about league assignations (even before the start of the season)
- you can't really know if your opponents are highly ranked because of a weak previous division or because they are good managers
- anyway if you're a good manager you will, in the long term, promote (I wouldn't be that afraid of loosing a season because I got a hard division; anyway your opponents joined more or less at the same time so if they have a better team it simply shows that they managed very well it)
but, more important: the game has now to grow and first of all you have to keep people you already dragged in. by putting users that joined a couple of months ago in the same division of other 4-5 or 6 teams who are here from the beginning, you would have killed any hope of being competitive for them -> maybe they leave
I would suggest to keep this sorting-strategy even in the very next seasons until we have filled all divisions and the "pyramid" is a bit more stable
what's your opinion about it?

@ Hatto: I've been thinking about the pro's and cons and to be honest i'm still not sure where i stand. Last season was very important to get a good start in the game and i can say i was in a pretty though divison where the number 5 easily would have got promotion in about 99% of the other divisions. Pro: We had a great competitive season with the most active division topic (5:116) .... basicly the reason to play a game like this and there was no easy win. The top 4 was very close and as a result of that neither of us had a lot of points, but we mostly ended up in the top-100 of fastest times according to schizm his statstopic. Lots of good and active managers and i'm really proud i had my decent share of wins (25) and had nice contact with some of the other managers. Con: All of us missed a lot of money (so important in the first season)...not because we were good or bad managers, just because of the heavy competition and sometimes that made me a little jealous  if i looked at other divisions were they only had 2 or 3 active teams. So....mixed feelings and the same goes for the way the new divisions were created....basicly you don't have divison 3, but a couple of subdivisions 3. In the lowest division i think that system is okay, but for division 4 and up? hmzz....probably there is no perfect solution, but if this continues then there are teams you never meet untill divison 1 only because they started later and does that really matter in let's say 1 real life year from now? I'm all in favor of protecting new teams, the question is...how long do they need that protection?  |

What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. Yep, I have no problem with that, we just have to go and fight I supose that at least put 2 first teams placed in 1 in div5 in each division. he obviously has no idea how ;-) i really love how this game resembles real life XD IP is our governement who tries his best to help his 'people', but it's never good enough for some people. Adipy, when we oppen a topic and we share ideas, thats because nothing is static, so if new ideas come for the best of the game its better for all and IP agrees with that, thahs why he have a forum This don't have nothing to do with real life, but if you put it that way, I am not obliged to accept what others say or write, I have my own ideas, if you are one of those who just follow what others say its your way of living, and I will not blame you. I can't get why people are complaining about league assignations (even before the start of the season) - you can't really know if your opponents are highly ranked because of a weak previous division or because they are good managers - anyway if you're a good manager you will, in the long term, promote (I wouldn't be that afraid of loosing a season because I got a hard division; anyway your opponents joined more or less at the same time so if they have a better team it simply shows that they managed very well it) but, more important: the game has now to grow and first of all you have to keep people you already dragged in. by putting users that joined a couple of months ago in the same division of other 4-5 or 6 teams who are here from the beginning, you would have killed any hope of being competitive for them -> maybe they leave I would suggest to keep this sorting-strategy even in the very next seasons until we have filled all divisions and the "pyramid" is a bit more stable what's your opinion about it? When we talk about division criterium, is in relation about money, some teams will have easy money and other will have to fight hard to have it. @ kingstown your right in what you said. |

if i looked at other divisions were they only had 2 or 3 active teams.
