Hi Tuttle! I have an enourmous problem with this game and I absolutely have to talk to you about this issue.
Look at my league.

Now,look at these leagues.

and etc.
Do you see where I'm going? There's an immense disparity between division 3. Mine is very very strong and IT NOT FAIR AT ALL!!! A lot of us in this league are here since more than 5 seasons,personally,I'm in this league since season 8.It begins to be a lot!Look at my team! In my league I have to fight hard to have a playoff spot while I would be first easily in any other dIII of Canada. Do you think that it gives me the desire to play when I see my friends that I showed this game and that registered way after me being in division 2 before me ? http://hockey.powerplaymanager.com/fr/equipe.html?data=40028-quebec-eagles And I have like 40 star of more! I have more friends like this that are going to be promoted before me....
I'm not promoting this season and next season,maybe not too.Hey! My team could compete in every division 2!! But I can't go up and sometimes I just want to delete my team and never play again because staying in III.2 is stopping my team from progressing and maybe my friends will have a better team!
Tuttle,there's a big injustice here and you can do something about it. I must say that in divisions 2,there's the same issue. Just look at the II.1. See the strenght of thi league! Enourmous! http://hockey.powerplaymanager.com/fr/ligue.html?data=a-can-ii-1
Now compare this to the 3 others D2... http://hockey.powerplaymanager.com/fr/ligue.html?data=a-can-ii-2-11
http://hockey.powerplaymanager.com/fr/ligue.html?data=a-can-ii-3-11
http://hockey.powerplaymanager.com/fr/ligue.html?data=a-can-ii-4-11
Do you see this huge disparity? Even my team would make the playoffs in the II.4 !!!! REALLY FRUSTATING!!!!!!
So that's why you need to do something. I talked to a lot of managers from my league and from II.1 and they agree with me. A lot of them want to stop the game because of that.
What can you do? When this season finish,you MUST redo the leagues 2 and 3 in Canada. But not anyhow. You MUST DO it RANDOMLY!Like this,every leagues will be fair,and everyone will have the same chance of progressing.If you think you have a better idea ,tell me.
Please PPM,do something about it or you'll lose a lot of managers like me and I can garantee you this.I hope I didn't write this big text for nothing.
Thanks
we are aware of this problem, but it's not so easy to fix. We are not sure whether this kind of action will not make more managers angry rather than happy. Many leagues are already like communities and there are rivalries, friendships etc. Also the leagues are competitive whether they are weak or strong. Just because someone started after you, doesn't mean he is worse manager although I understand why you don't like when they get to league II before you do.
There is something we can do, however, and that is to change the promotion and relegation key to mingle these leagues gradually. However, it will not come this season, but maybe later on.
