maybe bid on the player/staff run out when you are awake, there you got your regional bonus.

The staff normally is generated random in the beginning, and later on they come on the market when they get fired. I think this will happen most, to the times you prefer not that often like in europe but there are also more players competing for the staff.(and new staff members come random whicht should be an advantage for your region)

You gotta think of it this way too. You have the advantage if the roles were reversed. Most of the time, getting who you want has alot to do with luck. I missed out on some good players, but I won some good players too. I am on ET too and noticed when there isn't that many people on buzzerbeater. The funny thing is that the more people are on, I have a better chance at winning because when they are bidding on a really good player, another one slips through the cracks.

If there were more people playing from Canada you would have more people to bid on. The basic reason is there are more foreigners playing who put players up at a time thats convenient to them. Adding more staff that show up in your time zone could be possible if the BB's decided to do so. More Transfer List players will only happen if the amount of players in your timezone expands, so begin recruiting.

Very true but it is the most realistic way to have more players up for sale at his time, there will never be regional players for a designate region.

Then with supposed regional bids others would not like that they cant get as much for their players as those sellers in more populated "region" (no matter what it should be). And buyers from more populated regions wouldnt like something is cheaper elsewhere because there is not enough bidders to raise the price as much. So it doesnt have any logic.

You have your regional bids already. Only the divison is mild and based on users living in different timezones. And last but not least merchandising formulas are making some bids regional. The only hting is you can choose whatever region you want at the momment.

I get home at 5:30pm and I go to bed at around 10pm. That gives me no time to bid on players (or almost).


and i see often player who run out there, so why not buying them when most of the bidders are a sleep ;)

CrazyEye told you this as well, but it's worth trying to restate for you: bidding isn't restricted to when the auction ends. I've won plenty of bids while I was asleep, working, or otherwise away from the computer. You just need to be willing to make a bid at a price you can accept before someone else pushes it to that level, and willing to accept that you might get outbid while you're out.

And there are upsides to North American prime time as well... lots of free agent or retired players come up at times that are not friendly to the average European but are to us. The servers rarely if ever bog down (causing failed bids sometimes, etc.) in our prime time... when they do, it's during Europe game times.

I guess the last thing would be that things aren't going to change in this respect. So you might as well focus your energy on something else.
