It totally depends on which country and league you start in.

If you start in a DIV II or even a DIVI, you should get more money and a bigger stadium. If you are lucky enough to start in a DIV IV or DIV V, the money might be sufficient for a beginner.

The problem is how fast you can close the gap to the older teams. I posted like half a dozen of solutions how to fix the issue for team that have to handle much stronger opponents (those that come to my mind are: bigger arena, more money, expansion draft, put newbies in lowest possible league).

But of course the same old story - no money for the developers - will keep the game moving sideways at best.

[quoteI dont like the more money or arena seats things though.

I just pointed out that there are many options to solve this issue - yet nothing has been done about it, for many years unfortunately!

If you put a new player in a situation where he/she will have to sit out like six months of boredom, to finally catch up and be semi-competitive, how long do you think most of those users will stick around?

In Austria 94% of the new teams go bot right away, the other 5% stick around for some time and die a slow and painful death. Maybe 1% makes it. In addition to old teams quitting, you get a declining userbase, which makes it even worse. I bet the situation is the same for other countries where the gap is insanely big.

It would be so damn easy to fix, that it almost makes me sick nobody is doing sthg.

Knetch, I agree so much with you !

The money could be a way to fix the problem IF it was not possible to put newbies in lower leagues. But of course it is just sub-optimal. The right move is simply to affect newcomers to lower leagues.

Could a GM explain me why it is not possible ? Thx

thx Perpete and Manon. You're very helpful, as always ! (and sorry if my message sounded a little too harsh, that was not intentional)

Hey, we are now under 40,000 members. I'm sorry to say it, but the future of BuzzerBeater seems bleak.
