haha

a flare? lol....

there are 99 countries in Buzzerbeater at the moment. In order for them to have players from countries that aren't active, they would need to create 'inactive' leagues which don't have any human-players in it.

and whilst it would be nice, it means there would not be an U21 or national team for these countries. Can't have an u21 national team for a country that doesn't have any human-managers in it!

So, there could be some problems with that. Maybe you just need to convince some of your friends or family back home to create a BuzzerBeater account? Then there would be some Kenyans! :)

I hope the international idea goes through. I wont expect it to happen until season 30.

I don't expect to see it ever. I personally would hate to be spending scouting points on a great draftee and then see he is from China, Chile or some random African country. People mainly draft because they want good young players to train up for their own country. A lot of people also pride themselves on trying to make U21 NT players and NT players from people they draft, this is ruined if other nations become a part of other people's draft. 99% of people would rather draft an American than a player for Ghana if they are an USA manager. I guess you fall into that 1% that doesn't but it simply doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

I think its more than 1%

people want to be U21 managers of other countries.
People buy players because they are members of another countries U21/National team.
People often buy good trainee's from other countries

So its not that much of a stretch for people to want to draft for internationals.

id do it. THATS TWO AGAINST ONE!

LOL

Fair enough ^_^ We can agree to disagree. while looking on the TL I can see people buying from other nations, but as for the draft, I feel like that would be different.

haha deal.

I think if you only had a small number of them being internationals, like 12 of them, (which is only a quarter) - and then you had a notification on the draft page to say whether or not they were international player, then at least people could make that choice.

rather than thinking they were getting an awesome 5/5 aussie/american, and yet he ends being a Kiwi (or Canadian in your case)

Cause that would be terrible for both involved.
