Somehow I slipped into a promotion to LVL IV after a pretty good 1st half and poor 2nd as I worked in younger players. Now I'm looking at a rating lower than last year when I came up from LVL VI. I'm thinking this will be pretty depressing as I try to survive this shift to younger guys. On the other hand, it's got to be done to compete in the future. Now is the time! Any tips out there? I've moved to grass from turf as stats indicate my higher hitting at home didn't help my Win rate at home due to worse pitching. I've been playing with increased infield range and am unsure if this is helping but plan to continue. Mostly I'm counting on some wins in Waivers to upgrade pitching and SS.

The Rankings are really just for fun, they are 100% about past and recent performance, it has nothing to do with the current strength of your team. If you were working in young players at the end of the season, your ranking will be depressed (and not accurate).

My concern was that I'd never get Hot... I'll just wait and see. My last thought was work these guys in and if I relegate, it's to V. Still better than when I started. Raven- Regarding seating, I just kicked it up to 35,500 yesterday from 27,500 based on Game notes. I did have a large number of sellouts at 27,500 in 2033. Think I'll drop back to 32,500 per your tip. Thinking 35,500 might be a bit too optimistic. Updated Monday, October 9 2017 @ 12:19:20 pm PDT

I only mentioned it because I lowered mine from 34k to 32k after a nearly .500 season in IV saw me rarely go over 32k. That 35k number is good assuming you win a lot of games, and given your hesitance about your team... shrug Updated Monday, October 9 2017 @ 12:59:23 pm PDT
