@manbearpuig was kind enough to post this originally and I am not trying to hijack his post. Just thought this heading may be easier to find on the forums later on. Let the speculations begin. I myself speculated from the early life of the 18 version that maybe the strategy behind the bronze draft picks was some sort of option for our teams carrying over to the 19 version and if that is the case then I am all for the bronze draft picks now. If we do carry over and do not start ourselves at bronze then GLU should really consider a team tier reset option as well for those that leveled past gold and will have no hope of catching up.

After all the real money investment many of us have done with our teams, it is great to know it will not die soon
edit: if we were going to be able to carry our whole team over, I don’t believe the XP would be getting as more available as it has become. They wouldn’t be giving the premium XP boxes as much as they are in cvc if this didn’t reset somehow
Thats a good point. It’s all about the price point. I’d pay some money to carry my team over (or part of it), but nothing crazy. And I’m definitely not going to start behind everyone else. The first few months when we’re all building is some of the most fun in the game. Not so much if I’m getting slaughtered by monster bronze and silver teams.
Let’s say a gold 5 stars team for 200$. That would balance more the game for the 18 and new 19 teams. Well it’s just speculations, we will see.
Second, I’d like to carry over my ATG. Those guys are huge investments. It makes sense to let us keep them. But the 2019 evo idea makes me ill, it will be expensive.
Third, carry over of our “core” players, as chosen by the players. Similar to ATGs, we can get to keep our favorite guys. There would be a cost here too.
Fourth, complete team carryover. I’m not a huge fan of this idea because it makes team building obsolete.
Fifth, gifts that correlate with your team strength. Like what they did last year, basically. It has to be more than this given their advertisement of the new carryover benefit.
Other ideas?
I would love it if I could stay at diamond 6. And have the new players start at diamond. But I’m just crazy that way
You would still have the thrill of the chase for new bonus players, I don't see them changing the weekly model like someone else mentioned as well. It wouldn't make sense to stay at your current Team or Club level... You would miss out on all those resources and rewards from building? That seems like a poor trade off. Yay I am Gold but I have no resources to take my now Bronze 1 players up to my level...
I could see club level staying the same, but again, how will they compensate for the lost rewards and resources from building up the club? There was a lot of Evo gained from this.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I am taking this teaser with a liberal dose of salt... I am not expecting anything major that will make the majority of users any happier.
Keeping this game relevant year round to current players and enticing new players to get onboard should be a major goal, while reducing costs by not rebuilding the wheel every year. If keeping some or all of your current roster is in the cards, then I think the logical thing from a revenue perspective would be a reset of the xp/evo leveling of each player and team tier. However, we've been surprised with the companies moves before, so who knows what will hapoen.
