I think the developers need to find a better way to promote teams other than performance in their current league.

I get the pay for play model. I am not naïve nor am I attempting to be critical of that model. I get hours of joy from this game without paying an extra dime (except PT+) nor am I critical of people who want to dump a bunch of money into their team, whatever makes you happy.

Last weak in my iron level league there was a team that won 133 games then swept me in the world series. I looked at their team and it was all perfect cards, most historical, and clearly the best team money can buy. Again, not annoyed about that. This morning I saw the same team now promoted to a bronze league I am in. I looked at their history and saw they won rookie, stone, and iron.

My question is shouldn't their be a way to promote a team to a league appropriate for the talent level as opposed to just moving them up the rung? I get it if someone starts at a certain level then upgrades their team that week and wins, but it is frustrating knowing before the season even starts my team has no shot at winning.
