There's really no comparison, the smallest countries have always have, and without any major changes to revenue, always will have a competitive advantage on the international stage.

With the exception that if the top team in New Zealand had to face the top team from Mexico in the BB3 at his place the HCA would practically be wiped out because of the timing of the updates. If he has to play away then he won't even get close to a result.

Not all the small country are in NZ-time zone...

Just want to add the more rounds in cup that large BB countries have...we are already on 16 teams...

Oh come on are you serious?

Im sorry, but someone had to say this:

This season that i've been follwing the B3 for the contest more or less i've seen different teams, matchs etc, a main part of the managers are still managers who arent used to understand the game engine, but they have no economic problems.


The most commong thing they have, big rosters(without any rookie trained) with overvalued players on their salary and this teams that has really easy to save money and they have large rosters, i've seen them making awfull tactical choices in the matches.


Apart from some managers that you can observe they manage well when they do the lineups etc, there are many others that their team was just build from the easy money. It's like when in football(soccer) a new club is bought from a rich person and starts to sign players with high salaries and changes all the roster.
That's how are build the 60-70% of the B3 teams.

And you seriously say that this kind of teams are in disadvantatge? I'm sorry, but i dont think 150-200k its going to change their lack of the GE.

PD: I'm saying this without any aim to to criticize anyone or to put any example since it's not the point, but it's surprising you make that kind of comentary's...

Real is spending so much money, but Barca wins...

When Boss Man quit South Africa it made me the default champ, but it made the competition much less interesting.
The other reason why it's advantageous to be in a large country is that you have more rounds in the National Tournament to earn money. I'm already headed to the finals of my national tournament and the USA has at least a month left. That's another extra 200k. Plus, I'm facing a lot of weak teams that cause my home attendance to be less, which also causes a loss in revenue.

There's also the strategic disadvantage. I can't really see how my team performs against top teams with various tactics because there are no top teams to compete against. The closest I come is the defensive powerhouse (and unfortunately named) Pantyhose. They held the #5 team in the country to just 18 points today in a whole game, and have actually knocked me out of the cup the last 2 seasons, but I've beaten them 5 other times, including a sweep in the championship of our league last season.

I am at a disadvantage because of the size of my nation. Plus, it makes the game less exciting. Personally, I think that we should group any countries with less than 100 total members into a World League (there really shouldn't be so many tiny countries, put them all together and the level of competition will skyrocket) where they will remain until that country is able to recruit more members. I tried recruiting people here, but nobody cares about basketball, it's all Rugby and Footie in my area.

I am not trying to advertise anything here, but you can cover it trough the private leagues that.

who are quite expensiv, in a lot of those small countrys. If you look at the price relativ to the income and the money you need to life.

I cant say anything about the price...For Cyprus is not all that much, but again Cyprus has relative good economy...An other issue that is beyond my power as a GM...

Just saying that PL's are really helpful, and i was supporter before be a GM...

If you can't make this 200k back in 1 week through carrying less salaries I will be absolutely amazed. You have a licence to print money and quite simply should be a future BB3 semi-finalist or even better.

i've seen them making awfull tactical choices in the matches.

how could they have put the proper lineup if such a team wins with any tactics in the home champ? It is difficult to understand what tactics is better for you if any tactics is good enough to win.

The point is that,while you can close the tactical knowledge gap playing in the private leagues and in the few competitive games,so it's pretty aleatory this kind of disadvantage,the economic advantage that these teams have is SURE

That's the difference
