If your dots are not built right, you are going to have a hard time winning. This I know, been there done that. If the good dots dont sign with you, its going to be a long season. That said, Oberons score differentials have narrowed even if their win loss has not. And thats what I have been talking about the whole time been - scoring thats sane, NFL-esque, and fun rather than cringe worthy 100 point beat downs et cetera. There are less of them now and a lot more close games. Across the board. I doubt everyone suddenly became closer together on their own.
As for the nationals being too large, you congratulate yourself on the end result of the deleterius effects upon the game of all the things lousy about the game that you defended before. Nat Pro is too large now, if it is, because people got sick of those 100+ blowouts and left before the changes. Also I think alot of folks demoted to rebuild with the major dot building changes too. I know in the networks I was listening in on several teams did that for that reason.
That said, I think there are enough dots to support the current Natty Pro, based upon how quickly the Grace and Word gathered players. The problem is the churning of teams. If a third or half the teams demote or restart or are sold then too many Reg Pro teams have to come up. Then you have 50 and 60 levels taking slots and getting whooped or owners flipping rosters and signing the right players but getting chem screwed. What needs to change is the team system somehow so there is less turnover.Just stop and listen to yourself... you state and give reasons why oberon is doing worse and in the same breath you claim their score differentials are better (signs of improvement).... which is it moron? That said, show me where Oberon has much better score differentials... and I don't want you to post scores where they aren't blowing CPU teams like I know you would I want you to show me where their score differentials are better against the true competitors in zeta, like Sumatra, GCV, etc.

and

to the rest
