An idea for HLM27 is to have more options as to how a team/teams can be promoted or promotion.
An example of this would be to allow for teams to be promoted from a regular season standing and have a playoffs to determine other teams who would be relegated. The same can work for relegation, bad/worst team(s) relegated automatically and a playoff to determine who will stay up.
Another idea, would be allowing multiple leagues to promote into one league and vice versa. I understand this one kinda complicated in concept, however think of it as an option for multiple playoff champions being able to then meet in a higher level league. A way to set this up could be in having a base league for each team within each league that could be promoted and relegated to. For example, team red starts in league one, if relegated goes to league two B and if relegated again goes to league three B.
Hopefully one if not both of these can be considered for future games in this franchise and I’ve loved seeing how it has evolved! since I started playing back in HLM19
