When I made my SHL debut, I was almost 1000 TPE and unbanked over 500 TPE in the two updates prior to it. I didn't ask to stay down, and even when I was called up my GM at the time had to trade away another player to make room for me on the roster.

Increasing the cap to 600 or 625 would only do so much, there would still be users banking hundreds of TPE for months and it'll make the SMJHL less enjoyable for new players. Retaining your interest in the site when you've been here almost a year shouldn't be an SMJHL responsibility, you should be in the SHL by then. The regression changes were a step in the right direction in the sense that they'll push out the older players/lower earners that are holding roster spots sooner, I'd be curious how many players are called up to the SHL after 3/4/5 seasons following the changes or if more are needed.

I think we'll have to wait a few more seasons to really see the effects of the new regression scale and the potential number of callups. At this point we unfortunately just have to wait to see how all of that works out, but I do actually think that callups won't actually increase. Rebuilding teams will sell off their high end pieces and call up any number of the 12 prospects they have, high end teams will be buying the high TPE players that are available or signing low TPE IFAs to fill roster space since they can win with them anyways (see Baltimore. Yes, I know JR isn't an IFA, but he's on a new player, so the one on BAP might as well be an IFA). It'll be exactly how it is now, I think.
