I can't really imagine a bigger anti-climax.
New guys: don't pass Diamond. It really is a better game than Perfect.
Honestly not sure if there's one damn thing OOTPD can do about that, either.

I had not thought about it in those terms, but once I read the post it resonated immediately. As someone with three FTP teams that bounce between upper echelon Diamond and lower tier Perfect with an occasional wild card appearance, the seasons I spend in Diamond are much more fun than those I spend in Perfect.
I always play to win, and try to field the most competitive lineups I can at all levels. Not sure what it says about me or the game, but I find myself actively disappointed when my team misses the playoffs in Perfect and I do NOT get relegated.
There are occasional posts about the desire for a reset button to restart the game. I suspect that many of us would use it frequently it as the strategic but short chase from Iron to Diamond is far more engaging than the dozens of seasons in trying to incrementally move up in Perfect.
