When I joined the league almost 3 years ago it was a fun hobby and I thought if you stayed decicated enough (I have not missed a single AC or PT since joining and I don't even know how many hours of work I've put into the league) you could build a good or even great player and have a chance to win something in the end. That's how it's supposed to work and STHS was random enough so it worked. In comes FHM and if you're not on a top team, forget it, no chance. That hasn't really changed much. Those that were lucky and ended up on the good teams win cup after cup, award after award even if they aren't max earning. Of course they enjoy the league.

We found out that either you have a management group on your team that's super into FHM and has tons of time to test, or you don't. The only option is to leave your team and go to one of the 'good' teams to even have a chance to win. That's what it looks like right now, it might not seem that way to younger players, but it's reality for those that are deep into regression and still haven't won anything. Rebuilding means nothing, we've done that with Toronto, it took a good 2 years and were one of the top teams on paper and did it change anything? No. The new regression scale just mean that I have fewer seasons left to win a cup and I simply don't WANT to leave my team - that's my own decision (and part of the storyline that I would like my player to have).

As long as we can't have real parity - yes, that word again - the league isn't fun anymore, it's broken. And in that case I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this way. Why would you even try to max earn and be active every week if in the end it's not up to you anyway?

Hey Carpy, idk if Nour responded to you or not. But I would like to thank you for what you have done on the site. You really stabilized the graphics department, which can not be understated. You create fun tourneys and that’s also important. After I got me thanking you out of the way. Since I joined HO in 57, parity was the number 1 issue, and still is from talking with Sean and Nour. I know and feel the same frustrations as you. That’s why Atleast when I was in there we did step 1 of trying to help that parity. The increase in cap for higher tpe players, an update change, trying to see if pulling those levels would help. And they did a little bit, but not enough to the extent from what we saw. Regression changes from when I was in HO was always going to be around this time, if we didn’t see significant changes. And I’m sure there are more being worked on in HO now. Idk really know why I’m typing this. Maybe to get my own frustrations out, idk really know. But youve been a good member of the shl
