That just might solve your problems here, I think, you two, or at least help lessen them, somehow. Sure, it might mean you have at least twice as many teams, if not more, and might make your saves larger, on average, and all. But maybe it would be a good idea to incorporate some minor leagues into your game, or a promotion/relegation system of some sort.
EC, you already have experience with running a promotion/relegation-type system here. So maybe you should consider trying to use that kind of experience with your IPA, at least to a degree. Perhaps you could create a new league and relegate teams every season, until you get the IPA down to a more manageable level. Once you've relegated at least 8 to 16 teams to a lower level, if not more, then you can perhaps create a third league, and repeat the process, until you are sufficiently satisfied with the sizes of the leagues in question.
In EC's case, if he ultimately wants to shrink the size of the top league by 75 percent, he can use this process as needed and as possible and desired to do so as quickly or as gradually as he might wish and all, I think, until he has four equally-sized overall leagues that have the same number of teams in them that were present until the Expansion Era in Major League Baseball, if that is what he wishes to be the case here.
Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Lord willing and all, of course, that is, you know. Thank you for your time and attention and all here, EC and everyone else who follows this thread. That's all for this post here, at least, I think, then. CD out.
