so with a 5/4/5 setup how will we handle the mix of RL/OL teams?
would it be 3/2/3 real teams?
That won't work. There are 14 teams of each type... That means two divisions will have 3 real life teams and four divisions will have 2 real life teams.
28-team leagues kind of suck because it's not symetric. Being in the 4-team division is an advantage since each team has a 25% chance of winning the division compared to only 20% for teams in the 5-team divisions. Now there's the added problem of the divisions not being balanced in terms of $65M teams vs. real life teams.
It probably would make more sense to simply add 4 more teams and create two 16-team leagues. Either way, I'll still play.
