I would much prefer that leagues stay better balanced. I would prefer all teams remain closer to the mean than to have this much disparity. I also noticed that some of the lower teams seemed to take a few heavier ratings hits. (Note: that is mostly anecdotal because I do not want to spend the time to confirm.)
One thing I might consider doing is to change the balanced approach to the CBO of special events to an unbalanced one based on current talent level. Just to give some insight to my procedures (as a reminder):
Every game day, I roll four dice. Rolling four of the same number triggers a supermax event. Three of the same number is a max event, two pairs is a medium event, and four in a row (with wrap around from 6 to 1) is a minimum event. If it's a medium or minimum event, I roll one die with the first number appearing from the sequence being the event number.
The events are: 1 - franchise event, 2 - trade, 3 - plus stats (means ratings), 4 - minus stats (means ratings), 5 - incident/leave/suspension, 6 - creature attack
I also generate a random number that correlates with a team and then another random number that is picked from numerical order of the players on the team selected.
So, if I rolled the following: 1-4-4-4 and then generated a 15, that would mean a CBO-level player from Quincy would get minus stats (basically roll x with a *10 loss to their overall/potential ratings). Since the Gunners will suck in 2304, what I might do instead is either skip that result or only allow teams with winning records to be allowed to be selected with that result. Maybe that would mean the stats gains go only to players on below average-bad teams and stats losses would only be for players on above average-good.
I'll think about it! I just hope that the NCA actually does have tight league races this season and that the SCA can find excitement some kind of way. I don't want it to be obvious who the 10 playoff teams are going to be by the midway point of the season.
