You know my opinion on scaled rewards for higher leagues (for lurkers, I like the idea a
considerable amount), so I won't start that again here and get the thread locked.
BUT... you're touching on something here that does need addressing, and that's the distribution of teams at the end of each season. I've seen this complained about number of times and there's room for improvement here.
IMO the game algorithm should take all of the teams which are supposed to be at a certain level in the upcoming season, sort them by record, with some adjustments for those teams which have been relegated or promoted, and 'deal' them to the leagues and divisions in a serpentine style. That way every division gets projected to have 1 strong team, a good team, and a couple of mediocre to crap teams.
Maybe most PT players prefer things to be random - I'm not sure. But for me, I like any change which increases the amount of skill that the game requires vs random luck.
