The Virtual Terrace • Re: Looking back on the SL era
Too much tinkering would be my biggest criticism.
At the start we had mergers proposed then the game chickened out due to a backlash and a first past the post league table with a focus on Paris, Sheffield and London.
Quite quickly Paris and Sheffield fell by the way side and we switched to a playoffs and Grand Final format. I suposse the 00s were relatively stable then we switched the Franchising. The game then got bored of that and went back to promotion and relegation and teams based overseas were the focus. We then had the disaster that was Middle8s, now back to franchising again.
So a change in approach every few years or so, and expansion teams are the big new thing then quickly die out, rinse and repeat.
