More of a Goal Line Blitz Update...

Player Retirement: Players play for 10 full seasons before their skills start to decline faster than they can train. The 10th Season is a "Plateau Season" where you gain no experience and cannot boost. Players can play the 11th Season and on, but their skills will be declining the longer you that you play.
When a player retires you get the initial player creation cost (100-400 FP) back and 70% of any FP you spent on that players boosting and/or custom equipment. You can use this FP to start a new player or buy/renew a team. Yes, you will be able to renew a team for 400 FP a year before you lose it.
This game is going to be as fair and as realistic as we can make a game like this. Player's can't play forever, that's football. We will have a Hall of Fame and Record books so your greatest player can go down in GLB's annuls for all the world to know that your player is the best.
Injuries: Their will be injuries, but not injuries that make your player to miss a game. Just some injuries where your player might have some games that they play at reduced capacity (like 5%-50% off of some or all your normal abilities for example).
USA League Restructuring: Big changes that we think will be great for everyone.
There will be 32 TOTAL LEAGUES in the USA.
31 USA "Pro" Leagues, 1 USA "Champion" League
Each team that wins their league championship gets to play in the USA Pro League (31 teams). The yearly winner of the USA "Champion" League gets to stay in the USA "Champion" league, the rest go back down and are placed randomly back into a USA "Pro" League.
There will eventually be leagues below each "Pro" league for lower level teams and players. Teams will get demoted/promoted between these leagues.
Champion > Pro > AAA > AA > A
Champion has 32 teams, but 1 league
Pro has 32 teams, but 31 leagues
AAA has 32 teams, but 31 leauges
AA has 32 teams, but 31 leauges
A has 32 teams, but 31 leauges
Note: AAA, AA, A are just for example...they will have different names.
NON-USA League Restructuring: Will be the same as above.

Restructuring Clarification:
There are 31 "Pro" level leagues. These would each have AAA, AA, A underneath them that would have to work their way up.
There is 1 "Champion" level league above the "Pro" leagues that's for the elite winners of the 31 pro leagues to battle it out for supremacy. Those that don't win get bumped back down to regular "Pro."
It's sort of a combination of the current system and the big tournament idea, without the extra time required for the tourney where other teams don't get to do anything.
Seems better than having to win 20 seasons in a row to make it from ZZZ to Pro, to me.

The current Pro league would be next season's "Champion" league. All the current AAA, AA, A, etc leagues would be converted to the "Pro" leagues, and given a cash infusion to go with it. Then we would add the rest of the leagues along side them. We'll come up with various names for them to make them sound fun and cool (no more A, AA, AAA, etc.
Tactics: We are working on improving the tactics to be more in-depth...things like formations, position-based stamina substitutions, what to do on 4th, when to kick a punt, etc. This will take a little while to finish as it is a large update. Hopefully we can get it live early in the next season.
Search: We added a Basic Forum search feature.

Bort and I are working VERY, VERY hard everyday to make this game as good as it can possibly be. We are both very happy to have so many players enjoying the game, the growth has been remarkable. Thank you for your ideas and suggestions, we appreciate them and try to adapt what we think helps the game the most...thank you for your patience when we have growing pains, things just pop up sometimes and we appreciate your patience.
Things will only be getting better from here on out. We are 35,000 already users strong.
