Titel: First Noname teams .. How that will affect USA ..

Number of Nonames on Division 3
III.1 - 4, III.4 - 2, III.5 - 3, III.7 - 2

Number of Nonames on Division 4
IV.1 - 6, IV.2 - 4, IV.3 - 4, IV.4 - 5, IV.5 - 15, IV.6 - 15, IV.7 - 15

The real manager on IV.6 and IV.7 will have easy way to win their division and promote

Teams on division III.1 and III.5 will very likely prevent direct relegation

5 leagues on division 2 have no team noname and will have to deal with relegation and more competition to promote.

Asides from the managers who will be able to promote from D2 to D3, the winners here are the two managers that started on Division IV.6 and 7. they will earn tons of OR, promotion bonus and nice trophy.


With that said, i think it would have been better to have created the leagues based on managers experience, placing one by one in different divisions so at the end it would likely be similar number of nonames on each one and more fair competition.

Yes but will they stick around. Time comes into a factor plus what you do with that otr and money

while it is a true statement "if they stay" it still provides them very unfair advantage over any other D IV and III teams.

In a note, I really loved the new change on how relegation works. it is much more fair and make things much more interesting. Wish similar would happen for the playoffs, like for example play only 2 games and the the with best regular season would advance if both teams would end up with same points: that is: win first match would automatically qualify the best team to next round.

that would motivate teams to finish in better stand.

I think PPM is improving the game and hope they dont stop trying to make things more interesting for next game they release.

Having been through 7 seasons of hockey, starting from the bottom. Let me assure, there is nothing fair about how they setup the leauge. That is why I quit playing for a few years. Doubt I will last long here either. They damn sure will get no more cash from me. Thos who start in division 1 have clear and disticnt advantage over everyone else.

I am just goning play the cheap way, and hope that by the time basketball comes out they will find a better way to do this. Everyone should have the same start period.

What they should do is have the first season as just a huge round robin of sorts. No leagues, just hundreds of people playing against random draws. Then at the end of that inaugural season, the leagues are formed based on the the final rankings. Seems reasonable enough.
