I was wondering if other teams then the division champions would be promoted as well (the playoffs finalist for example)? There are more and more teams in each country, so wouldn't it be accurate to create more divisions? For instance, Belgium has four Division 2... Do you intend to create two more Division 2?

It's so difficult to get promoted... I finished 21-1 but eventually lost in the finals against another 21-1... Only 1 team promoted in a 16 team-division, it's not much...

Perhaps divisions should be expanded to 20 teams with 3 promoted, similar to the English professional soccer model.

It's possible that you promote if there are bot-teams in the superior division...and if you have the best stats of all the leagues of your division...

Well, a 20 team-division brings you to 28 regular season games... I guess it would not kill anybody to play 3 league games per week once every 2 weeks during the season, but it would be a considerable change for the game though...

Any other ideas? The debate is open

Yeah, I thought about that. Instead of a full interconference schedule, just four games would be played against the out of conference foes. This would undoubtedly cause people to gripe when they got a difficult schedule, but it would be okay by me.

There is already a thread about this in the suggestions forum.

My suggestion is to get rid of the conferences and reduce each league to 12 teams. In this model, 8 out of 12 teams make the playoffs and play the same or a similar playoff as we have now.

Also, the bottom 2 teams demote automatically. The remaining 2 teams play a qualification game with the teams coming up with the worst records.

Alternatively, the bottom 4 teams demote automatically.
