Ive gotten more joy playing in the MFN leagues because the teams are more evenly set and you don't have all the loaded rosters.
With the exception of MFN-1, all of the other leagues are identical, with the exception of the team names in the CUST leagues. Unless of course you are talking about how the teams are formed, either by an allocation draft or the AI just randomly putting players on teams.
I completeley understand why someone, especially a new owner, would want to stay away from a team put together by the AI (because the way the AI evaluates players stinks).
I will never pick up another team where I am not able to participate in the allocation draft due to the nearly impossible task of building through the regular drafts. You have to either trade away all your early round picks, or tank, in order to get a good young player.
I think one of the main reasons people don't stick around is because they don't evaluate the team they are taking over before "becoming owner". I've suggested before that a message should appear advising the new owner to check the roster, salary cap, draft picks, etc., before confirming they want to take over the team. Seems like a very easy addition that would go a long way to help new owners from picking a bad team.
Also, people who spend time learning this game are always going to have more success than those that don't. You're always going to have people leave just because they aren't winning regardless of anything else.
