A "No" from my side.

I don't like the idea. You can't love more than one team. So everybody should focus on his primary team. And Buzzerbeater should focus on making the BB-experience more exciting. So think about game engine and draft. (I like the draft-thing, I bet, there are many good idea out there to improve it. And I would hate any youngling's team feature.)

I think the downsides of secondary teams are overwhelming: Farming issues, idenitity issues in smaller countries, two friends who are cross-selling from their secondary teams.

I understand the need for money. I am supporter. And I have to say: If 30.000 is a realistic community, where most of the people are motivated and do like the game, so be it. And make the non-supporters pay something little. Maybe: league-system is free. Cup-tournament is a dollar per season. Things like this. I know that many people like the "free game"-idea, but infrastructure costs money. So: You like the game, but you are not willing to contribute? Why?

Agreed. BB assuming that 2nd team means more fun, but it can mean that manager would become fed up with more players, more games and more training and leave the game quicker.

Hi,

First, i have to say that i can't wait to welcome new managers from anywhere in my league.

But i have one concern that hasn't been mentionned yet. Experienced managers may not do the mistakes beginners do. And there is one mistake in this game you can not remedy : your arena ! Like, i guess most of the managers in small nations, i have made an arena with too much bleachers. And if tomorrow experienced managers from abroad come in my league and build "perfect" arenas, they'll have bigger revenues and it will become difficult for me to compete.

The solution ? You should allow all managers (supporters and non-supporters) to modify their arenas destroying built seats to rebuild others. Otherwise, i think you give an in-game advantage to secondary teams

Just a quick note to say. I think there is a big part of managers who are under-aged and like 90% of them are unable to buy a supporters package. Therefore they will start leaving the game because of boredom, when the main functions of this game will be charged. This is not the way to solve this problem.

I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would be against something that has the potential to bring in money with little impact for most.


People love change as a concept, but hate it when any particular thing changes.

It's just not worth it if I'm only going to be playing bots. I think we will have 8 bots this season in the IPBL, which is the highest league in India.

Now I looked at previous season teams that made for playoffs in B3 among them are teams from Wales, Scotland, Macau, India, Malaysia, teams that are considered micronations. I think that it is safe to assume that after introduction of 2nd team feature these teams from micronations won't be able to become as strong as they are now. And what if all top division is occupied by foreigners, then we would have teams from II div competing in B3. I don't even know if it's pros or con, pros for macronations, con for micronations,I guess, it would become easier for macronations to compete in B3.
