For me the game rewards tanking too much and new users are left with a very long road to get anywhere.
My son signed up today and is disappointed at the level of his players. He looked a my side and feels it will be ages until he can have a chance to beat me. Not sure what can be done but there should be a someway to make new users enjoy the game quicker. For me all new users in Australia should go into Div IV and only take on new users or bots.

And all people who demote from div III to Div IV who have played more then 3 season should be put into the same league in Div IV. With only 1 or 2 of the 16 getting back to Div III means tanking becomes a poor option as you could be stuck in Div IV for seasons.

To me the most enjoyable part of the game is training players, but there is no encouragement to do so.

Young expensive Centres who are on National teams and who have taken several seasons to train are ridicuosly dirt cheap, thus making training an economically poor option

I agree
When you can buy a 200k+ C for less then 50k seems a bit of a waste for seasons of training to get to that level.

Maybe make the top level of new players start at 10 instead of 7 but make training a bit slower. So the basic players do not stick so much

Perhaps a Quality Management System might help.

Ask Active Managers their thoughts and what they like about the game &

Follow up Managers who have become inactive and find out why


Also some statistical anaylsis, who are the Managers who are leaving, are they long termers or are they new starters?

I had a friend sign up sometime ago. Got an 18 year old MVP big in his 1st team and then less then half a season later got a 18 year old HoFer and did not even last 2 full season before his team went broke. It was all too hard to compete with people who have played for seasons and seasons and had buckets of money.

I have argued for a long time that new players need at least one good young prospect on their team that they can identify as a franchise player and become attached to. When new teams start with nothing beter than a 19 year old 6th man they have to get random guys from the TL and it reduces the attachment to the game. I think all new teams should start with 3 trainable players of age 21 or less and at least star potential. At least one of them should be no more than 19, $3,000 or higher salary and at least perennial allstar potential. You can pick guys like that up on the TL for $1 but being given one, your guy, your foundation player is so much more classy and fun. Being given a roster of worthless duds just is not fun.

Good point but in some ways its now easier than ever to climb through the ranks because of the capping on arena sizes and the cheap prices of players.

The biggest disadvantage that new Managers face is their lack of Knowledge in the game.

If I was to start off in Div IV, I reckon I could rise through the ranks a lot quicker than what I did the first time around

You might be interested in reading this message by BB-Mark a month ago, as well as the rest of the thread where it is written:

In some ways I believe that the game has got better, but such a rapid fall off in numbers is really really scary.

Will the game live long enough, to be totally dominated by my trainees?
