For this game to be competitive and realistic there should be an incentive for being at the top level of play.
Sometimes it looks to me, as if you had a split personality.
On one hand you argue, that nationals teams cater to a small community of top level teams, on the other hand you argue, that there is no incentive of being at the top. What do you really wan't now?
In racing games there are options that cars chasing the leader get a small boost in speed to catch up more easily. In my opinion the pressure on top teams is way too low - if you started in DIVI - no matter which country - you can expect to never demote, because it is so damn hard to catch up.
Why would we want to increase the difficulty to reach the top, when in reality the opposite should happen, just to ensure some kind of natural turnover in the top leagues and to keep us users motivated to reach the top.
I decided to try to promote this season, I will have to overspend on wages, go into debt, risk bankrupty, just to compete. If I manage to promote, I will have massive problems staying up there, just because I have no money to improve (fudged up economy says hello). If the top teams had even better players, with more experience, moving up would equal instand demotion. Why would anybody want that?
