Hello, I'm a league host and let me tell you, introducing 2 more tiers would make filling leagues IMPOSSIBLE. By doing this you would essentially be forcing the best players/luckiest players to only be able to compete against other people. A high majority of leagues would be so empty at the top, and I know most of my players ENJOY competition rather than 8 seasons alone. The maths behind your idea doesn't add up either. 12*5=60, but 16*3 = 48. Really you'd need 4 tiers.
Additionally, you actually have not stated many improvements this idea could bring, only "This will greatly increase the interest in the 'passing' game." whatever that even means...
I mean I'll even help you here and give you some positives: this makes it easier to keep the best managers apart from the worst managers because they are more spread out & it makes it harder for "cheesers/noobs" to reach the top tier even when in an empty league. Maybe 1 extra tier might just be doable for a completely full league but defo not for emptier leagues.
If this was introduced I'd suggest the final/4th tier not being active until the promotion in all tiers is activated, and then actually I could get behind this!
But until then, league hosts are already having issues with getting they're leagues full and active, I sincerely doubt we need more.
Hi, I'm a league host too.
I was not going to fit in the number of 48 players. I propose to expand it. Why not? But 12 players in each category will improve gameplay.
Impossible? - it will be impossible only in the dead and half-dead leagues. If the league is live and has an active host, it will fill up to 60 as well as to 48.
I don't state many suggestions here, because I don't want to bury them on this sub-forum.
Your idea of adding only one category while saving the total number of players I also like. As an interim and compromise solution.

Perfect Idea!
Thanks Greg!

I disagree with this idea. Here are several problems with this idea:
1. It will make it harder for leagues to populate each tier.
2. It will estrange managers in the top tier from the manager in the bottom tier.
3. It will fracture the iGP community based on tier.
1. So what? The best leagues will fill up, the worst will fall. If a host does nothing for his league - of course his league will be poor.
2. I see you do not understand one of the main problems of this game. We already have a gigantic gap between the pro and the elite in this regard. More categories will reduce it.
3. Still say that it will kill the game ... you definitely do not understand the essence of the problem. Of course tiers will have to split up a bit! But this is definitely not a problem, it is very easy to implement correctly.
