Great post and I will rephrase some things you said.

1) People don't want foreigners? Sounds racist. When I go down to my local stadium I will probably see people that were born in NZ, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, China, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, Syria, Sudan, England, Ireland, etc. They are welcome to our country and are certainly welcome to play BB.

2) Competition is good. More competition is better. If you don't want competition then I simply can't usderstand what you are doing in a competitive game.

3) Supporters getting an advantage is already HUGE with the PL. I can test MY team with tactics. How is it helpful to not test my team? This is just jealousy.

4) *censored*

For me I would like to play in USA. The home of basketball. Why would I want to go to Serbia or Montenegro where I can't talk with the locals?

I voted against for none of those reasons. I like the one team per person idea. For example, I'm torn whether I should start training with my team, or should stick with my strategy of not training and maximizing my money to buy players. If I get a secondary team, I definitely won't change my strategy with my primary team, and will simply use my secondary team to enjoy the training aspect of the game. In other words, the second team will effect what strategies I use for my primary team. And I won't run my secondary with what I perceive to be the best strategy, but will use it to do things I'm not able to do with my primary team. With one team per person, using one strategy, is the death of trying out other strategies. It adds risk and makes the game more interesting, in my opinion. There is no back up team, no fall back plan.

Again, and I can't stress this enough, there would be no in-game benefits for supporters. In fact, not being a pay-to-win game, is probably the main virtue of BuzzerBeater.

This would not be changed by second teams. I don't know what did you mean in your post, why would you think that finances and rosters of the two teams would be connected? More money, more training slots??

It's only possible to make an argument about trying different team-building strategies, but bear in mind that you would have to wait 14 weeks between closing your team, and opening a new one. See, BB-Marin already thought of this, kudos to him. If you miss strategy, dig yourself into a hole, it's probably going to take a season or two to reboot the franchise and try something different. So I don't think it's that big deal. Private leagues, for example, are probably much better training grounds than the second teams would be.

I am not a supporter but I agree with the new feature (even though I voted "no"). I think the new feature is to be tested before we can judge it, and the good thing of a virtual environment is that if something's wrong it can be easily removed.

Some of you make good points, and I agree with you. Others I disagree with, but I can see their argument. But I say, I do not want to play in a country where I can't communicate with the other managers of that league.

How would we test it.
It's almost impossible.
