It feels like after you get to, say Bronze, you should be able to off-ramp into a variety of different leagues. Why TF is there not a league JUST for people that want to play with Live players. At this point I would WELCOME that challenge compared to my 95%-the-same-year-to-year team at Gold/Diamond. If I pull some a couple decent historicals, maybe I go back into the big pool. Similarly it seems equally obvious there should be THEME leagues, for teams of players from certain teams or certain eras. How hard is this to do? Is it just a failure of vision? Because it seems obvious to me this is a way to keep PT enjoyable for a wider swath of people. Why is it not a real consideration? the whales all want to swim in Diamond/Perfect water anyway. Why do we have to spend our time in their world? Aren't other worlds as valid? And if the question is just "CANNON FODDER" then flush inactive teams out of the THEME and LIVE leagues at intervals, and push them into the great goulash. Honestly, it makes too much sense to me, I don't get why Devs haven't relented on their ONE LEAGUE ONLY ethos. Can't we ALL be happy, or is it modeled on our economic system?

Not sure it's a lack of vision as much as it is a lack of manpower to regulate all that. How do you regulate "theme teams" ? Or do you expect one league for 70s players only, one league for 80's players only, one league for batters with 85+ contact only, etc ? And how do you guarantee those leagues get filled ?
