Added:
The one thing I would like to see added to the league is a more professional presentation. Everything seems to be running pretty well at the moment, so added stuff would just be gravy. So what do I mean by a more professional presentation? Well, I’d like to see more live commentary of games. I’d like to see post-game analysis. I’d like to see highlight articles for players of the week and storylines to watch for from game to game. I don’t know who would do these things, and I know that they’d be asking a lot. But maybe we could create some jobs for them? I’m not sure how to implement this stuff; I just think it’d be fun.
Removed:
The thing I’d like to see removed is more of a thing I’d like to see simplified. It is, of course, the new player process. I know there’s been a lot of attention paid to it recently, and the changes have been good ones (the introduction video, updates to the new player guide, etc.). But I’d like to emphasize that there is more work to be done. The process is still quite complicated for someone coming into it cold, especially a person without sim league experience. It seems fairly impossible to figure all of this out without a single person dedicated to helping with every step.
I also hate the limited relocation rule (where a team can’t rebrand within a certain number of seasons after another team did it). Rebranding is part of the fun of the league, especially when its name and organization have become particularly onerous.
Also, position switching needs to be reexamined. Too many teams have avoided rebuilds based on unrealistic standards. It's one thing to make sure players are enjoying themselves; it's quite another to make sure teams never have to rebuild because they can just always keep their highest TPE players at positions of need.
Kept:
The thing I think we do really well is make positive changes. Even the last head office, beleaguered as it was, moved on some of the core issues affecting the league and fixing some of the things that were broken. Now, with less of the drama surrounding multis, mass retirements, and other types of cheating, the head office has been able to focus on preventing problems, and that’s certainly a step in the right direction. Obviously, not everything can be anticipated, but it’s my hope that with so many eyes on every potential problem, head office continues to listen to players and make necessary changes as we go.
