More teams. One recruitment thread from Jim, and we'd gain an extra 10 members without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really prefer the current format with 2 leagues of 12. Then every other game wouldn't be against TermX, Blue Ultras or you. Plus it would give every team the opportunity to get some game time for every player in order to get some development going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practically 13 actually as Ankit has not signed in since October. We could do one league with 14 teams but then the gap between some teams and mine or Term's would just be HUGE.

Can't we have inactive teams in the lower division? I mean if there is someone who wants to join in in the middle of the season, he can take over one of those teams and practice against 'dummies'. Or you can't start a season without X amount of active managers? And in all fairness, there hasn't been much promotion for XpertEleven for a long time. As TermX pointed out - if Jim or any other popular figure would promote it then we'd be alright I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing I can do about it. I'm all for the promotion idea. What do you, or anyone else, have in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you or any other staff member would start a new thread / bump the old one, I think people would be willing to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We have 20 teams now (one practically inactive). I'm thinking we wait to see if we get 4 more. What do you guys think? And what kind of format would you like to see next season if we get 24 teams? I'm thinking a quick 8 team-4 leagues season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just to clear something up because I've seen it mentioned a few times. Having a shorter season doesn't mean less development for players, It doesn't work like that. The rate in which you increase the players Development Value just speeds up, so after one game a youngster could be at 8 or 9 DV, for example.

SinineUltra 1,170 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 A big bonus for a longer season is that you can climb the league table even though you might have had a rough start in the beginning. Plus not having to scrape your remains off the tarmac every other week after a game against one of the heavyweights is also something to consider.
