I agree completely with this. I play in the same league boss did last season, and we have a very unbalanced situation.
The team behind me went 20-2 and is doomed to a fourth season in DV because he could not beat me. The third place team on my side of the league is better than the winner of the other conference. At one point, the fourth place team in my conference was 12-4. He was a new team, made all the right moves, but was looking at three better, older teams. So he quit in frustration. I hope he re-upped in another league, but have no way of knowing.
If the BBs don't think this issue is hurting The Game, they are much less savvy then I give them credit for.
I truly hope they are looking at all the unfair circumstances new players in the USA, and other large nations, face.
