Do you think the developers should temporarily ban creating leagues?
I have just created a new league called The WorldWide Racing Championship but am really struggling to get new players into it. I have seen that a lot of people are mentioning bringing in a temperary ban on anyone creating leagues. Hopefully this would allow people with small leagues to gain players.

 Better idea is to have better title.

If you meant to tell me to change my league name I have. Thank you for the advice. As for the Forum Title I am in the process of that now.

Yep, postposne league creation.


Better still make it cost 100 tokens to make a league, that would cut the number of leagues down meaning fuller leagues for us all

I partly agree with you but I think that 100 tokens would be a little to much. Maybe 25 or 50. That would also ensure that players that make leagues are also active.

Yes there are more then enough leagues   too many to be honest,   making a league for tokens could be a great idea, 

Maybe even mixing half leagues run at same time to be joined together

If leagues were to be run together, who would the owner of the league be?

The one leading the most active league. Or the biggest one of the two.

Currently in the poll it looks like the majority would like a temperary ban introduced.

I don't think it's a good idea to ban creating new leagues but I totally see where you are coming from.  A better solution is to warn people when creating a new league of difficulties of finding many players to fill that league up and that they should join another half filled league. The reason banning is wrong is due to many people want to play with group of friends or family etc so if they all want to get in same league together than banning new league creates a big problem especially if there is a charge of 100 tokens or any tokens which I don't think is fair. If there are only few players in league then those 2 leagues need to join together and make it 1 full league rather than 2 half full leagues.

Maybe if they add a fine of maybe 100k or some money for every season that you join a league that is more than 75% full that would help.  Only a suggestion.

As I've said before I've played this game for more than a year. In the past I've spent money on tokens. I ran my first league for a year and decided to set up a second league for single car teams. My first league is still running yet both my new league and my original league are struggling to be fully populated. How can it be fair on myself and others like me who are long time players, who has to either stay in one league till it dies or try to progress their experience with the game by starting a new league only for it to fail.
I don't have the solution, but I still think that new uses shouldn't be able to create a new league. Whether that be be until they have enough tokens or they have completed X amount of seasons in another established league. If they want to play with family and friends then I'm sure there's a league out there ready to accommodate.

If required, I would be happy to be the league that accommodates them.

Let's be brutally honest, the league search sucks. imo people are creating new leagues partly because they can't find a suitable one.

Adding race speed/distance to the filters may help a little (I'd also like to be able to see easily how many active players there are) 

When creating a new league the game could check to see if there's one with the same parameters, if there is then give the option of joining that one rather than creating a new one.

I made a league, searched it  using time in the filter and it never came up. Searched 10am and it came up with leagues at 11am. It wasn't until I searched with name, 'WorldWide Racing Championship' that my league appeared. 
I also believe that the search function should be improved.

Yes, I think the first step should indeed be fixing the league search. As I was searching by filtering the race days that are most convenient for me resulted in quite a lot of leagues presented to me but not a single one actually matching my search settings. If I did not knew this league I'm currently in existed before I did my search and thus me actively looking for it by other means and I would've never found it, or knew that any exists matching my preferences. I still don't know if there would have been another one with single car teams, which was my first plan as I wanted to try that one out for a change.

I completely agree, the problem is not the amount of leagues that exist, it is the way players find leagues. To find a new league with the league search page is impossible and 90% of players are joining the leagues that the game has given to them because they have literally no idea or literally HAVEN't been shown any kind of sign that other leagues exist. To a rookie or noob they might literally believe that the game only has 6-10 leagues because of how uninformative and unhelpful that page is.


The league search is way too similar to the transfer page, the same staff are shown everyday just like how the same 30/32 car leagues are being shown everyday. The staff that are the easiest to get are taken by the rookies, just like how the leagues that have the most cars are joined by rookies. These rookies have to clear out bad staff so other players can get better ones just like how almost full leagues must be filled to make way for smaller ones. Although this only works for the transfer market and it makes no sense for the league search! Leagues that match your search settings should be shown first not after and most of the time not at all ffs.

Idk why the system has stayed the way it is for so long but if iGP really wants full leagues then how about we just create dedicated leagues for each and every time zone with each of them having their own schedule and format. Once a dedicated league is full a players will then gain the ability to make one more league with the exact same time zone as that league. BUT IT'S TOO LATE NOW IS IT? Too many league hosts for that, too many players! You let it get out of hand! FIX IT!

K now that I've calmed down, I'm starting to realise that maybe too many leagues and a bad league search are only part of the issue. I'm seeing many league hosts here that used to have decent if not full rookie tiers but now have almost empty tiers. It seems as if there is also an inactivity problem in this game. Maybe the fact that it is the summer holidays is a factor but idk. It is iGP that have all the numbers & data and yet they aren't doing much with it. Maybe there should be be an "official iGP league hosts" group that directly relay these issues to the devs because I feel like league hosts aren't listened to as much as racers even though they are just as important.

The game itself is not in depth enough, once you have a set up for a track ive never known it to be different so once you have done a season the setups are easy, thag takes away any need to log in.

There is not enough variation within the setup, 3 things to get right is simply not enough.

Ppl mention other games but take a look at GPRO more things to get right in setup means more time online, this means ppl will enjoy it more as its more challenging, there is then a learning curve rather than simply xp and doing the same thing over and over.

I see talk of server moves and tyre changes but lets talk about the real reason the game struggles for new players, game play.

Ive said it before, there is not enough to do in this game to keep ppl coming back if they are not getting instant success.

I played gpro for ages because even though i wasnt winning i enjoyed working on set ups and improving, this game relies too much on players making the fun.

Perhaps they need new ppl on the board or fresh blood in the ideas dept but it does very much have the feel of a game in its last throws.

I hope im wrong but there may soon be a gap in the market for an f1 style game that used to be filled by igp.

Not sure about game in its final throws??

But I do remember when I joined it was difficult to find a variety of leagues to choose from.

I never understand why rookies who join up their first idea is to create a league.

I would suggest as has been above, that new league members can't create a league until they have completed a minimum number of seasons.

Good Idea!!!!! I agree and think that It improve situation with lots of useless leagues. But may be really better to cost by 50 tokens?
