The rules will be selectable by the host. As I understand it the default league settings will be as they are now.
Extra levels? Well I suppose it means us people who have been playing for a long time will have to start buying staff and upgrade HQs again.
Jack and the Devs have not shared any details about the new levels structure so anything anyone says about it will be speculation. I'm hoping it is part of a longer term strategy because it's bad enough already with people promoting to Elite at L13 and having to compete against L20, I dread to think what will happen if there are L30s in the tier.
Yeah, really hard to fight. I am currently lvl 15 and fighting against 6 lvl 20 teams, just waiting for chances (rainy weather and inactive managers) to score some precious points. I wonder how horrible it will be for lvl 13 managers to fight with lvl 30 guys.
Maybe they will restructure the league tiers, or even add a new tier if possible.
