It is pretty clear so far in TSB18 that leveling a team past Bronze tier is pointless since since Glu changed the setting where all players start at Bronze 1 regardless of team tier. By doing this Glu is actually PENALIZING users who have spend time, effort, and money to level up their teams for three basic reasons:
a) the system seems to match teams within tiers for sprint and bonus events, so users level players to Bronze 10 (one of the amazingly somewhat affordable things to do in TSB18), those teams with higher star rated players will still be dominant.
b) when new bonus events are announced, Bronze tier teams avoid the TAX (which is precisely what it is) that Silver, Gold, etc. teams have to pay in XP, cash, and gold to level new players (even those they spend gold to acquire in special boxes/picks!!) to current team tier just so they can to keep up with the match-ups
c) the rewards received for leveling a team up don't come close to compensating for the TAX of leveling players
Any thoughts on this? To me, changing this rule from TSB17 this is a transparent money grab by Glu, and doesn't encourage users to advance their teams since the only benefits are making it a little easier to get through Tower or WoH events (but ONLY IF they level up their players!!) . I leveled to Silver and am quickly regretting I did so.
@Glu Development Team - not sure what else to tell you besides change this rule soon and consider compensating users that made the effort to play the game as you intended by advancing their teams.

I don’t have any prime players yet but I’m up to about 45K team strength.
I am getting slaughtered in the bonus game event today. I’m being matched with all gold teams and the pitchers have such high numbers compared to silver. I guess Glu is trying to tell me to move up to gold but I don’t have the resources to level up enough of my
players yet. The matchups don’t seem to be quite as bad on the weekend event and the sprint so I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and take my medicine today. Ouch!
When I reach tier playoffs I generally outrank the opponent significantly .
