The median level in most BBB leagues is 11 or 12.
The maximum recommended level will therefore be 19 or 20.
If you don't sign more than 6 players over level 19 or 20, or one player of over level 24 or 25, your players will be unaffected.
The median level, and therefore the maximum recommended level, will go up over the course of the season.

So it *might* affect the Tecmo All-Stars if they recruit some more high-level players, but even in their case, I highly doubt it.

So teh levels of the leagues... are you going by the list bort put out?

This isn't anti BBB at all. It's anti teams trying to stack their rosters. This is an excellent move.

Agree. If BBB teams have lvl 24 guys right now, there is something seriously, seriously wrong.

Especially as there's only one level 24 player in the game

No, I actually use the search function to find out how many players of each level there were in BBB#9, and calculated the median to see how it affected my team. Then I checked a couple of other divisions I have players in, and all of them fell into the 11-12 range. It's possible that there are a couple of BBB leagues outside this range, but I wouldn't have thought it was particularly likely.

great move, going to lower all those undefeated records a notch or two, not this year but probably next.

Define "stack your roster".

I've got a number of guys that after boosting will be lvl 15-19 this season. My goal, and the teams goal, is to graduate from the BBB.

I guess I'm confused; or maybe someone should really define what stacking is compared to trying to be the Jeffersons and "movin on up."

it also only counts for FA's so if you're staying with the team its smiled upon.

also not sure about other teams but most of the players on the team i GM boosts anyway which means after everyone boosts the median level will rise.

You should be fine. My team is in a similar position... Players leveled 13-17, and I'm not too concerned. At this point, if your player is at or above level 19-20 right now, that'd be a cause for concern on that player only. And, as was mentioned by Knick, since players will boost, that median level will rise as well.

So, unless you're bringing in a crapload of level 19-20 guys to your BBB team to start, this shouldn't be a significant problem for you.

At the moment in our league there are 8-15 guys who may be effected.

your allowed up to three players that are above before it starts to hurt you correct?

Yea, but it's not being added until season 4, so there are no worries for now.

I don't think anyone in any BBB league needs to worry. This addresses it...
