I'd much more like to have a farm team or youth team option within the primary team!

Which means a youth roster of maybe 12 players in the age of 15 to 20, that can be forwarded to the first team from an age of 18 up.
Those players should be trained much faster and much more individually than players now! Should start with lower skills (1-3) that can maybe set by manager (i.e. 10 skills per player, no skill higher than 3 or 4) and should have simple to manage training league. This youth team could also play scrimmages against own or other teams.

Every team should have the possibility to gain up to 5 new young players at the beginning of every season. If youth players are older than 20 and were not promoted to first team, they should disappear. Same if roster grows to >12.
Even names of youth players could be free to set (maybe with generated first name or automatic double names check ..).

This could be a feature for all - improves game significantly.

Excuse me for bad english ... I hope some BB programmers / decision makers can read this. ;-)


+ my idea is less schizophrenic.

Supporter should not equate to an advantage over non supporters. That's a good way to chase many non supporters out. Currently, supporter privileges just enhance the gaming experience and that's all it should do.

The reason so many of these MMOs die after a while is because they go for the "free to play, pay to win" business model. Then sooner or later everyone realizes that in order to win they have to shell out more and more money which not many are willing to do.

BB would die with this model as it is critical that the number of users stay high.

Of course this should be accessible for all users.
I think it is necessary to increase the fun for "normal" users as well. They left in high numbers over the last months.
If not, you will have a very small community only with supporters one day. ;)

Nice apology. Thanks for trying to input (and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way towards you).

Thanks I guess..?

Bad idea.

Private league (all countries) with 6 divisions and new players. New teams would begin in 6. Name? B3 League...xD.I think that would be a better idea.

I don't know why non supporters insist that they are somehow in disadvantage with this. This game is running because of the supporter money, if only there were more supporters... It's definitely not a pay to win game, as another poster suggested.

Generally there are 4 groups of people opposed to this suggestion:

1. I understand people who simply don't want foreigners in their country. But if it's going to help BB development, they should sacrifice that bit?
2. I'm so-so with people afraid of competition. It's somewhat unfair, and they have right to be upset, about the gameplay getting more difficult for them. However, that's quite.. embarrassing. I mean, foreigners would be starting from scratch, if you have a larger arena, and already a strong position, why feel so intimidated?
3. I have zero respect to the third group, people who don't have supporter, and simply don't like supporters getting an additional option. So much about the human nature. As I said, the game is running on supporter money.. Please don't be jealous.
4. Cheating-paranoids. Self explanatory.

Bearing in mind Lithuania has only 3 million people, comparing with other countries like JAV, Italy, Spain, still pretty impressive:)
I never thought other nations could be so competitive. Good luck!

So all in all, summing up your long response, that would require a lot of time/work invested in engine's coding. Okay. Let's say second teams are placed on other countries. Micronations would be filled with managers from all over the world, if it's good for micro-managers, it's good for me, especially if BuzzerBeater receives additional funds from Supporters. What about macronation managers who want to compete only against managers from their country? Come to terms with destiny?
