A negative would be when searching, since you would have to remember the names of the leagues -- but perhaps you could search for either the structural name (IV.3) or the Real Name (ABBA 7).

It could also be confusing when communicating between players from different countries. In HT, Sweden uses a different system than every other country (their 2nd division is I, the 3rd division is II, and both I and II use letters rather than numbers to distinguish series.

on topic, shifting focus. wasn't there a motion to make the NBBA the NBA?
If so, then ABBA could fall back to ABA....

interesting note about Sweden in HT, I'd never noticed that...

Copyright issues prevent that.

No, they have a decidedly college feel, and that's fine with me.


I considered this as well, as perhaps that's what the devs intended. But, when Div. I became NBBA, that went out the window. That, and the fact that we pay our players.

I think the division naming setup is just a holdover from HT, one that could be modified for countries that have more historical pro leagues that could be honored/referenced in the game.

LOL, you don't follow college sports closely, do you?

Fantasy is fantasy, and the numerical levels are easier for noobs to follow. Names would be fine with me, as I don't much care. However, the names should have meaning and the relationship between levels as readily apparent as numbers.

The examples you proposed aren't instantly clear enough, IMO.
