I'm 100% sure something like this has been suggested before... but I'm going to go at it anyway.

Essentially a dot that plays in peewee absolutely will not be put through the entire levels, it is doomed to be retired at the end of the season or of course it will be absolutely crippled for its career for having chosen to start in the peewee league.

Similar to the way "Rentable" custom EQ was added to account for the fact that a single season of using the Equipment should be cheaper, since only one season of enjoyment is coming out of the equipment and other people who were buying the equipment were getting a multitude of seasons out of it.

You should add an option when creating a dot to make it a "peewee dot" this would make the dot automatically retire at the end of the season (or at the very least enter a state of limbo where it can no longer gain levels) this would not reduce the cost of the dot because, well player creation cost is completely refunded anyway... I don't see the logic behind that.

BUT

It should reduce the cost of boosting similarly to the way Custom EQ was "rentable" for a season it should make sense that dots that won't get to progressively enjoy the boost that they have used should not be paying the same price as a dot who will only get a single season of boosting from the cost.

Whatever the reduction may be, however small, would influence the likeliness of peewee players boosting and hopefully make some effort towards resurrecting a dying love of mine.

Essentially a TL;DR:
Allow dots to "rent" a boost for a season similar to that of custom EQ, whether specific to Peewee or not, the method of producing this is of no care to me.

Probably NGTH for some dumb underlying reason

Yeah. It might not be NGTH but something similar was suggested quite some time back. Support was mixed but generally favored. It had to do with selecting a "recycle/retire at end of season" option when building a dot. That way PeeWee builders wouldn't have to do it manually... and many PeeWee teams are/were OMB's (One Man Bands)... so the idea had merit. Still, I'm betting it's not something that will ever become high on the "To Do" list even if it isn't a NGTH thing.

fwiw, there's a thread up for vote in regards to perpetual peewee players: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4627149

The boost stuff is p much NGTH. Besides, it's 70% back on flex for each boost. There's no real difference in received value from boosting 1 season versus 10 seasons. You're either boosting and keeping with competition or you're not.

I like you throwing in the suggestion to make it even cheaper to make peewee dots (they get more percentage back than normal dots anyway).

As for the actual suggestion, more complicated player creation process is a bad idea, especially something like this. New users accidentally making "pee wee" dots would cause way more trouble than it's worth.
