NEW LEAGUE TYPES
Q: Jack Del Rio - There are normal, casual, and pee wee leagues. And this level 4 thing which I have no idea if it's going anywhere or not. But the last new type of league came out in season 8. We're entering season 14. Isn't it about time something's pulled from the suggestions forum? ...Locked leagues would be a hit. Gauntlet leagues would be a hit. Iron man leagues would be a hit.
A: Catch22 - I should probably help out by going through the Suggestions forum. I'll add it to my list and see if I can help Bort out with these.

yeah, was also mentioned here:

#9 - Why was the Iron Man league idea shot down?

Technical limitations, more than the idea itself. The sim has a minimum of 20 players on the team at sim time to ensure all positions can be filled in any given play.

I have already sent a response to hazy, who is doing a wonderful job with the Q&A, but dropped the ball on this one. Hey, he can't know everything:

Uh, as the initiator of this idea, the person who has maintained the thread and the biggest supporter of the idea, I have to say ... What?

After some initial grumbling about being limited to min roster sizes of 20 players, it's pretty much been a consensus in that thread for several months now that 20 player roster limits are acceptable.

A better answer might be that nobody from GLB has bothered to come back in or do any follow-up or send me a PM to ask. A better answer might be that as soon as it was kicked out of Epic, it was pretty much tossed in the garbage.

It's such a simple idea, such a popular idea, and such a source of constant frustration that nobody at GLB can see how well a niche community like this well help the overall product.

But I felt it my duty to point out that your answer was only partially correct.

I am still very much in favor of this.

+1

still checks all the boxes
still the best thing in the suggestion forum

add me to the yes list

So let get this support for this idea of the iron man league up
ok 20 man squad and OOP penalty and lets go
let get it up to 2000 posts
just to show we support this

Yeah!

I'd love to say something constructive - but I cant think of anything else to add to the argument. Everything has been hashed out many times in these 85 pages and it always comes back to the same thing: This is a very good idea.

This thread is the only reason I check on the suggestions forum. Just to see how far the GLB community has let such an awesome concept slide, and it's never more than 3 pages. All the others put together would mean squat to me if this one came to fruition. Get it done!

Iron Man leagues would go especially nice with the new ALG archtypes we're getting within the next 2 seasons...

I don't see that this would be too hard to implement...would add an interesting niche to the GLB universe...

Would Love to see this happen comon keep the ball rolling
suporters keep the vote up !!
Just sing in 1 a day and keep this going

So here's my bump of the Iron man League. With the rumor mill of remade SA trees/pick our own ALG/more intense training combos, this league would be awesome with some actual build diversity.

Come on Bort.
