Not much new really. Mostly stuff that was already announced last season, and so really the last two seasons only seem to have one season's worth of changes.
Starting this season, a new promotion and demotion system has been implemented! .....The change will surely bring some extra excitement and better flow across the divisions.
Not to mention inflation!
player salaries have been updated
Too early to say much about that until we understand exactly what we're paying for, but concerns were raised last season that haven't been addressed. Because of the lack of transparency here we've no idea if we're ever listened to, and so have no idea if our very reasonable fears are ever taken note of. Still, raising salaries could offset the increased promotion bonus so that would at least be positive.
nicknames can now be given to BB players!
Don't care.
Also, remember that the fan boycott maximum penalties have risen from 20% to 30%, as announced mid-season.
Fan boycott was a mistake last season. Still a mistake. It doesn't affect the teams they wanted to target.
Next season (39) we will have our very first nations merger!
Good that this is starting but as RealMateus has said the draft could be an issue.
