1.4 - New Reputation System

Ok hold the phone this is a big one! Spot the difference, no more 5star Rep system but now we're moving to a scale of 1-20!

However that's not all!

To this...
The screens do a good job demonstrating the the change and the likely way this will rolled out to Live, you'll have advance warning.

League ranges from 1 (bottom of the lowest tier) up to 18 (top of the highest tier)
League divisions all overlap by 1 level. Consensus seems to be this is a good thing.
Main cup competition is 1 less than winning the highest league the cup involves
Secondary cup competition is 2 less than winning the highest league the cup involves
Gold Cup starts at 1 below winning the top league, so 17 rising to 20. Provides security if you qualify, but doesn't make chasing the Prem redundant.
Silver Cup runs at 2 below Gold Cup, so 15 rising to 18 (same as winning the league)
CWC Cup runs at 1 below Silver Cup, both start and end, so 14 rising to 17
GW Cup starts from 1, and rises to 1 below CWC cup, so 1 rising to 16
New Money Old Money
Converting your old rep to new is fairly simple case of times it by 4. So:-

Old Rep New Rep Low New Rep High
1 1 5
1.5 6 7
2 8 9
2.5 10 11
3 12 13
3.5 14 15
4 16 17
4.5 18 19
5 20

Thanks for the news as ever Jak. My initial reaction is that it looks like a great update. I don't quite understand what it provides that the far more transparent system proposed in the "Give us something to play for" thread didn't, but if this works I can live with it.

I have two questions about it: the simple one is do Super FA games count towards rep, or is it only domestic fed + UFFA? The more complex one is: is the system scaled to take into account different sizes and reputations of federations? If 12th place in the Premiership is worth the same in a federation of 30 mediocre teams as it is in a federation of 130 good sides there's going to be a big advantage to being in small/weak feds.

The only things that are rep enabled will be League, two domestic Cups, Gold / Silver / CWC UFFA Comps.

All other comps will have no bearing on Rep at all. For the hardcore manager the system will support Leagues running 3/4 times a season. So XFA could run 3 or 4 Leagues a season and average performance used for rep.

Generally entire FA is scaled 1-20 however I think mods will be instructed to take a 'view' on smaller FA's and their capabilities.

It is work in progress and some way off before the new Rep system kicks in as you can see from Screenshots.
