[ECL 5 Has Arrived: Register Now!]

Admins - If EA doesn't fix the bug with goals disappearing before the start of ECL5, how will you handle this, with an new rule or postpone the start?

What are your thoughts on this?

Btw, awesome video.

[Introducing - ECL Divisions]

This is interesting. I have not yet decided if I like the idea or not. But I have a question..

Is there a though behind making it a 3 tier/3 divisions system - elite (1), pro (2) and amateur (3) instead of a 2 tier/3 divisions system - elite (1) and 2x pro (2.1 and 2.2)?

I think that a 2 tier/3 divisions system has more benefits. The top teams can compete against each other in the top division but you shorten the way for the bottom teams to reach the top league by placing them one tier below elite. This will also make the new teams facing some better teams instead of just facing "amateurs" thus letting them grow better and faster. It would also let teams like CoG that Jesus are talking about above skip playing in the amateur league with a non amateur team.

I do see cons with this system as well, of course. I just wanted to know the thoughts behind the decision.

I like this suggestion, not only because you are my teammate. = )
 

• Keep ECL Elite division as it is
• Scrap the ECL Amateur division
• 2 divisions instead of 3 (ECL Elite and 2 or more groups in Pro division(should not be more than 16 teams/group))
• Scrap the "Exceptional Team Status"(new teams need to start in Pro division instead)
• Pro division: 16 teams in playoff instead of 8
• Keep this one: "The top two teams (finalists) of ECL Pro are instantly promoted and will play the season after in ECL Elite."
• Keep this one: "The teams finishing in spots #3 and 4 (the losers of the semi-final round) will then move on to face teams #13 and 14 (one each) from ECL Elite in the Relegation/Promotion Round (7 games)."
