Here is a basic list of features that I will expand on. Sometimes its hard to remember everything that has gone into the game but this should give you an idea of what to expect.
Advanced Customization *League sizes ranging from 8 to 40 teams *Full customization of team and player details *Control how many teams make the playoffs and the length of each round
Historical Database *Use league structures from 1946 through 2007 *Player database allows you to start in any year 1946 or later and automatically import the actual players that entered the league each year into the draft pool.
Updated Game Engine and Player ratings *Expanded player ratings give a more detailed breakdown of each player’s individual skills
Expanded Options for Online Leagues *FTP support to allow you to upload league html files or team files from within the game.
Updated Free Agency Period *Free agency period is now a month long process
More available stats/information
Other *Fast sim allows automatic simulation of multiple seasons to allow you to build the league history before playing

I hate the idea of 40 teams and more than 16 teams in the playoffs.

To me, there are already plenty of guys who aren't that active. FA, drafts, playoffs (getting DCs in), RCs, DCs, it would all take so much longer. Plus, roster sizes in a 40x15 league would lead to the need for so many players. Just doesn't seem managable, realistic or fun to me.

yeah i agree with habes here, 40 teams seems a bit to much. It would at a point where things would just get out out hand,we can barely find 29 active gms, how would we find another 11?

If we do expand it to more than 30 teams... I think the most fun and realistic way would to be add international teams like CSKA Moscu, Tau Vitoria, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Maccabi Tel-Aviv etc.

Ya, hat was Wills idea. I'm not 100% sure id want that. I think Im more inclined to just want to get the best available GMs in a new league.

Not sure I'd be a big fan of a 40-team sim, personally. The idea of it is interesting, but in practice it might be difficult, especially for those running the sim.
