i'm also trying to think if an instance in real life where a league has managed to improve its reputation.
i suppose the japanese league over the last few years has done so? although i'm not sure.

but then they still wouldn't get the top top players until they were nearing retirement.

I don't think any fan of FM wants unrealistically quick rises in league rep, but just slight rises maybe tied in with how many CL knockout round appearances your club (or other same nation clubs) is making season by season.

I think I'm correct in thinking that domestic league rep will only rise if a club from you domestic league wins either the Uefa or Champions League, You will not get league rep boosts simply by getting to the knock out rounds, which doesn't seem right imo?

There is a very interesting thread here about league reps/development ect.

It should increase with gentle nudges as you have some consistent success. You can see this sort of thing in real life with Ukraine where the top clubs can attract some real top players because they know its champions league exposure and so they can then move on to the real top leagues. Obviously it should take a very long time for you to push your league up to being one of the very best and improvement to other clubs in the league.

Umm, as others have said. It's unrealistic to expect this to change. Unless your whole leage gets better than you're simply a odd exception. I'm sure (even given your 180 games without being beaten) that you're just ana amazing manager and aren't cheating, so you're situation is entirely realistic too.

However, you can just fiddle with editors if this is really getting you down. I know, it's tough to 'cheat' in such a way, but clearly the game cannot recognise your excellence and needs to be fixed.

I had a similar problem to this.

I played as East Bengal in the Indian league. I won the domestic title 7 times in a row, the domestic cup 6 times in a row, the asian champions league 4 times and the world club championship twice. I was also reguarly attracting crowds of 45,000 for league games and even 110,000 (played in the national stadium) for asian cup games. Not to mention being the 9th ritchest club in the world!

I was constantly knocking out and beating teams with a "continental" reputation yet in my whole time I never managed to advance from a "national" reputation. Surely my continental dominance and even world success warranted a higher profile? The game didnt seem to think so and I constantly struggled to keep hold of and attract players.

It gets slightly frustrating when your getting "snubbed" by players from Uzbekistan

Just an illustration of how the reputation problem tranlates in a slightly more extreme example.
