Earlier recognition of promotion/reputation change

[steve.battisti]

I've been playing a lower-league save, and I've noticed one thing that can be really frustrating as you try to move a team up the ranks. Let's say it's nearing the end of the season. Maybe it's early April or something, and then on April 8th we win a match that confirms we win the league. Yay! The game is smart enough to know this, and smart enough to show the ceremony and so forth. But when it comes to the rest of the game world recognizing this, it doesn't seem to happen until the league year officially switches over, which is typically sometime in late June.

This means that from April 8th through, say, June 20th or whatever, the list of players interested in a transfer is very limited, because it's like they haven't recognized that you have already won promotion and will be a level up next season. When the league year officially turns over, THEN all of a sudden more players are interested. But of course, when you're trying to prepare a squad that can compete effectively in a higher level, it's absolutely awful to lose two-plus months of potentially signing better players. This also impacts things like renewing loans, and sometimes even contract renewals with players who want to play at a higher level.

So, the ask is simple: Have the game world to recognize promotions (and maybe the correlating reputation increases) as soon as promotion is achieved, not at the official season cutover. 

Thanks!

No brainer this. Makes it weird to start planning after promotion has been confirmed when you don't know which players are or aren't interested.
