Well Lets start this like this, i am happy to be in GHL.
 
I think that i would stop playing this game if i would get promotion example from IHL to BHL. Only because the game is impossible for the teams who are getting promoted, also unfair for everyone who is not playing in GHL.
 
I see GHL teams sign players with 72 overall from free player market only because they are almost free when you  place them in affiliate team. I mean cmon its the same thing if you would pay the player with peanuts. You can keep the player in your affiliate team like 15 years only to see if he someday becomes something. And if not, no harm is done.
 
meanwhile managers in lower leagues are in struggle when there is only trash players left in the market. 
 
I lose 84 overall center to a team who already had 10 centers in the roster, and my guy were not even close getting in the top 4. Its one thing to make huge overpay for 1st liner, but this i don't understand.
 
This is complete abuse of the affiliate system. Hogging all the players from free market and put them in affiliate team almost free, so others wont get them, or maybe cause in 10 years the player might have a shot getting in the main team if he develops fast enough.
 
I can easily live with the matter that it seems to be impossible for me to sign a decent center from market if i wont overpay big time. But all this player hogging and system abuse from top teams is ruining the game from everyone who is playing lower leagues.
 
I think we all know what will happen when GHL and SHL team are trying to sign the same player.
 
When i did read about the affiliate teams first time i was pumped. Thinking that this would add so much fun for this game, now i have a place where i can keep my top prospects a couple more years until i give them a fair change in my main team. Oh boy i was wrong. Looks like all somewhat good players from SHL and BHL are going in to the GHL managers affiliate teams from now on. 
Promoted teams R.I.P
 
Again like i said, glad to be in GHL. And all those who are not, good luck trying to build a proper team.

I want to point out that I agree that the relegation playoff make no sense. Why not let the 3rd to 6th team battle it out for the "cup" and why give playoff games to teams who finished last in their league? Also, the power level is not comparable and it makes for very one sided games.

A pre release of the affiliate teams feature has been made on the UAT today! Check below for more info. Please report back any bugs to this topic (not the bugs section). Have fun!
 The pre release contains the followingAffiliate leagues AAHL, AAHL 2 and AAHL 3 (new) Create up to two affiliate teams. Affiliate team levels Professional, SemiProfessional or Amateur.
