Glb 2 is amateur
Dumbed down player building, tactics, everything and 9 game seasons? Remake of the XFL?

There is a lot more to consider than just "I want 16 games of stats because it's like the NFL."
16 league game seasons would just be way too long if we want to include ladder games every week as well in order to have them actually feel meaningful (which we do). 3 days per week * 16 weeks and 4 playoff weeks is 60 days, which really just starts to drag on way too long. I would not want seasons to be any more than around 45-46 days. 50 feels like the absolute most that would be tolerable.
I have thought about the logistics and the only alternate idea I had that I think would even be close to working was to have three divisions of 4 teams (12 in a league). You'd play everybody in the league once once and everybody in your division twice, which would make 14 games. Then you have 17 weeks of games (still 3 playoff weeks). But even then the season would be 51 days. If you make the playoff weeks special so they are 2 day weeks (you'd play every day, with ladder games included!) it would be 48 days, which is staring to be sort of more reasonable, but still kinda long.
There's also the fact that you'd have to get less skill points per game, which is somewhat less exciting. You'd have to get 700 SP per game, which is not quite as exciting as 1000 and feels kinda like a strange number. Or we raise the price on everything...either way your players have to develop more slowly, and I feel like we're at a pretty good growth rate right now.
At that point we are also missing out on the extra "bye" week we have now where had planned to try and fit in all star games and the final games of tournaments in order to highlight them. We could add a single day for that I suppose, which puts our season at 49 or 52 days. Starting to drag on...and on.

I want a all star game! I don't care how long the season is.

Bort is wrong
16 games because of NFL stats is the way to go, especially if you want to attract new customers.

Honestly I just don't see it relating. Unless you are out to make the game replicate NFL stats which is well...boring. I would love to see the 14 game, 3 division thing though. That would be a lot more fun.

I do like the division thing as well, especially the prospect of coming up with the same teams, playing them twice a season and such, real rivalries.

division stuff is nice but they need wild card teams and bye weeks in case one division is stacked while another is garbage.. The NFL has it figured out just follow their lead

There would be 3 division winners and a wild card. ldo. Wouldn't need bye weeks.
