Last year, our primary complaint was the lack of a pyramid structure in the 6 levels of competition, and the issue that most "non-$$$" teams that crawled their way to Perfect eventually got their clocks cleaned.


This year, we HAVE a pyramid and we have 8 levels of competition. As a result, the rise-to-the-top for "non-$$$" teams is significantly harder... which, by the way, was exactly what we were asking for. Reminds me of the "Be careful what you ask for" line...
This probably has a lot to do with perception. OOTP20 currently has 92 Perfect Leagues out of 721. 12.75% or so of all leagues.

OOTP21 has 692 leagues. 1 Perfect, 24 Diamond and 42 Gold make up roughly 9.75% of all leagues (and we have 2 new lower levels).

So those teams in OOTP20 in the 10-12th percentile that could hang around Perfect Leagues for a while, well in OOTP21 they are in...

Silver.

Not good for the ego. But good for the game in general. They shouldn't be handing out participation ribbons.
