It would force managers to adjust their teams and ballparks based on pulls and may eliminate some of the cookie cutter teams we see now.

I like your proposal but I can understand the not-so-good profitability from that setup(unless the whales all go hardcore deep in packs, then I take back the "not-so-good profitability"). Even if whales go hardcore on packs, the others are now stuck without the AH to acquire players. I am not sure if people liked the theortically slower progress and a much harsher environment for anyone who wants to play with a theme team -- you either open everything you need to die trying.
I do, however, wonders if there's enough interest for some sort of draft mode for the players who enjoy playing with what they opened. I might write a detailed suggestion down the line.

Fair take. Aside from the intentional relegation you said, I think someone (who is leading the conference) intentionally harming its team record by substituting bad players at the tail end of the season is also a a kind of tanking. Other than that two, I am cool.
