No big news at all. Slow micro merger will likely mean they start with the empty nations, so no impact will be visible in the beginning.

The promotion thing might be interesting. But as they stated, they want to do it slow and careful, I expect this to be another uber anxious change that won't change a thing. Fix the goddamn transfer market. Swing for the fences just once in your lifetime...

You are right. Just keep going like we did the last few years. This has been a proven strategy for continuous growth.

Since we’re working on making the game more exciting, we are considering a new promotion system based on the one used in Utopia, where more than one team can achieve promotion in any one league. Of course, this means that more teams demote too. There will be some differences, for example, we are not planning on using the human team consolidation part of the Utopia promotion system. The change will need some time to be properly planned and implemented, but if Utopia has shown us anything, it’s that a system like this works very nicely and makes for a more exciting season.


Good thing you work on making the game better for new users!
But I'm not sure if I like the Utopia promotion system for other countries. More promotions? Great! But more demotion? Not so great. And not necessary! Why don't you just reduce the number of divisions on lower levels? For example in countries where Division IV is the lowest and only half (or less) filled with active teams, just reduce the number of leagues from 64 to 32. You can have 2 teams promote per league without more teams being demoted.
Also this would make the lowest leagues more active on average and generally reduce the number of users who have to play against bots all the time.


Yes, I'd prefer the promotion and demotion policies stay the same in our main leagues.

I won't disagree if the current 7th place is demoted to. Just repechage game for 6th place. Five teams will be demoted per league instead four in the current system.
