[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the big GA teams are going to change to ECNL.

They get placed into champions cup, they're always in finals, and they do well in showcases.

College coaches and recruiters go to GA events. This gives high levels of visability.

One thing I would expect to see more of is top GA clubs pushing for 2nd GA teams. If your club is top of GA there's 2 basic options. Change to ECNL which depending on the geographic might bring higher level competition. Or, ask GA for a second GA team which brings in more $$$ for the club without any risk. Most clubs would choose to field a 2nd GA team before switching leagues and potentially losing players.[/quote]

Agree with this. GA absolutley gives the world to their top programs. No real reason to leave. Just tougher comp.

Nationals were also given the world, but they ended up choosing playing better competition.[/quote]

It will be interesting to see if there is any shift in volume/quality of recruiters at showcases.  [b]Top end players will not develop as much playing against players they are always better than,[/b] that's just reality so for the top end it does create a development problem.  But you can be a huge fish in a small pond, so is that the counter for staying GA? Look very good, vs maybe look above average, perhaps? Just spitballing. 
 
What would you say would be "the world" (genuinely curious)?

The GA very rarely seemed to feature Nationals (only using as they were mentioned as having been given the world), they tended to only be in posts when they won, which was obviously a lot.  Posts seemed to revolve around lots of other clubs (no issue there), just not sure what the world means. [/quote]

just making stuff up now? there is no development problem because there is very little player development is games.[/quote]
