Hi all,
I have created a fictional nation with a league system consisting of 9 levels.
I am having an issue where teams who are relegated from level 1 are reverting from professional to amateur, but most of the teams in level 2 are currently professional so this leads to the amateur teams struggling before turning back to professional typically 1 or 2 years later. Any way I can fix this, ideally without fixing any leagues as professional only.
All levels have low rep to start the game, level 1 (30/200 rep) is just above San Marino league in terms of reputation. I have done this to allow a build the nation challenge.
I have holidayed several years in the future to late 2030's, the top league now has a rep of around 80 and the second level has more than doubled from 25 at the start of the game to over 50 rep.
TV money currently in the top league is around £2.5m a year with the top prize being £3m for winning the league and around £1.5m for coming last.
Tv money in the second level is around £1.7m a year and the top prize is around £2m for winning the league, so there is money available to sustain professional teams.
Additionally, the teams that have recently reverted to amateur have a healthy bank balance £8m and £6m.
I do not think this is an issue further down the leagues, just when a team is relegated from the top level.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
