Hello,

Today, Private Leagues are mainly used for 2 things :

- Fun against players your are not often able to play against
- Testing some tactics effects

Therefore, i think that games could use a "special" version of the Game Engine.
- Enthousiasm could be considered at the same level for each team, ie 5
- Gameshapes could be considered as equivalent for each player, ie 7 or 9
- Injuries could be removed

This will be closer to a All-star game GE (with injured players able to play and GS equivalent for everyone) but will allow to have a fair championship, not depending on the choices you made in your "official" team life.

This, in the end, would give you a slightly new feature to the supporter pack, and may help you increase or at least keep the same amount of supporter packs.

What do you think about it ?

thanks for reading/answering.

I think definitely the enthusiasm should be 5 for everyone, but im not really sure i agree with the gameshape being respectable for everyone (or equivilant)

Eh, I'm neutral on this. Sure your suggestion on equal enthusiasm and GS might be nice in some cases but:

I don't agree with this. Those are both two things I use sometime, but I also like to use my Private league games, to help me know what I want to do with my two league games for the week, based on the team and player ratings that my guys put up and how different tactics work out for me. Getting rid of enthusiasm differences and GS differences would make this insanely hard to have it help me with league games.

All star games suck, I don't need another one of those every week.

Well, then, admit there is one fail in BB wish about supporter : you have an advantage to your opponents, knowing much more your team than non-supporters.

It was said "supporter won't give you an advantage on others managers who can't afford it"

Don't you think so ?

It doesn't give you advantages.
Sure it helps but, it isn't a difference.
If you test your tactics against a different team
than the team you will play that week, the outcome would be different.

Nope. I always look at BB like taking a hard class where a textbook is available but not needed for the class. The book can give you pointers that may help you but it is by no way cheating. Now if PL games helped build up your enthusiasm or something then they would be deemed unfair because they give you an in game unfair advantage. Having more resources (more games in your PL) is useful but not violating any rules. Some people may disagree but when it comes straight down to my league games regardless of what I do in my PL it gives me no real advantages for inside the actual game.
