I posted this over on the PES 2012 wishlist and have modded it slightly to see who agrees (cant seem to make a poll).
Example of some kind of tier system and a larger difference in ratings required to move up into the next division.
Tier system example
DIV 5 = only allowed players with a maximum rating upto 70,
Div 4 = only allowed players with a maximum rating upto 75
Div 3 = only allowed players with a maximum rating upto (possibly 85)
Div 2 = only allowed players with a maximum rating upto (possibly 90)
Div 1 = No restriction of what players can be purchased
If you move from div 5 upward the money you have stored can be then spent to improve your side but if you fail to stay in div 4 you must then sell these players so you meet the requirements to play in div 5 again (in real life you wouldn't see Ronaldo, Messi etc playing in DIV 5 so it should be attempted to show some realism in game).
I have not managed to get out of DIV 4 so this isn't coming from a player who is very good or will have easy access to the top players but i still think its probably one of the best routes to try and make MLO a little more realistic but might seem a bit harsh for some (even me) knowing we may never get to top players for our teams (we always have ranked online matches though if needed)
