Assuming this game never existed, a sim basketball game comes out today and only features D1, does anyone say "Huh, I wonder why they didn't have D2/D3 included in this game? That's just weird!"
Using this line of reasoning, they could open D1-only worlds.
The obvious answer to the top question is no. I’ve said this a bunch, too. A lot of the problems (if they are seen as problems, again, we’re not shareholders, we don’t have access to the bottom lines, goals, or mission of the development team) this game is experiencing now could have and should have been foreseen from the outset, and come down to forced stratification being a short-term model for profitability. In the long term, it’s a model for frustration, dissatisfaction, and eventual attrition.
