Thanks for answering:

Q2) The first to ask a team in a country would get the place. Your idea for the launching of the option could work with advantage for oldest Supporter.


still a doubt. Different Timezone, what time should you choose to open the 2nd team subscription? should be unfair against the people in "bed-time" at that moment? otherwise i ask now for a Barbados seat ;)


I'm talking in my name, but your idea of a period of inscription and we accept in priority the oldest Supporter might work.


ah, just another question.

Poll will become reality if...?

-50%+1 votes are yes
-60% votes are yes
-66,7% votes are yes
-75% votes are yes?

what kind of combination?

I just want to express my support and concern for the no BBB. I think the point of it is to give teams in the lower leagues a bit more competition. I don't think players will join smaller countries unless they get a shot at the BBB.

Let's also look at the flip side though. I think there will be quite a few teams from lower leagues that will have a second team in bigger countries like the USA or China. This is good because they get to have a different experience than just bot stomping.

Also, I don't think we will see any "legal farming" assuming that the home country rule is enforced. A team would have to have their primary team in a country other than their own in order for that to work.

I like the idea, but please please please please please disable bbapi logins with the 2nd team. Or implement a bbapi flag indicating primary/secondary team PRIOR to implementing this feature. We have a great deal of sensitive NT information available with a US bbapi login, and this would make it trivial for others to access it.

Also, one other thing I would like to add: there should be a minimum number of slots too. Take Pakistan. Only one active user? There should be more than just one other open slot for a grand total of two active users. There should be enough slots to make sure the top level is full. Or perhaps four bots teams in the top flight to leave space for local users. Either that, or the league should be closed and those users moved to a different country. Idk, I just don't see how having a single user active in a country can be fun for anyone.

Id love the idea of a second team but playing in a different server...

1-It will be fun to run the market again, but now with a better knowledge of the game

2-All the managers or the big part of them will be experienced managers, so the competitive will be fun

3- Its like start the game again in season one, and i like to compare the advance in two diferent servers...

4- BBs will have a bunch of new supporters and its no reason to be worried about cheaters, farm teams or other disadvantages.

5- Maybe the weak part will be the problem of small countries will be not solutioned.

I think that is a good idea, and i think it can not be sold players.
But I think i should be able to work for youth training in the second team and there is once a chance to promote the first team for season at the start of the same

Here is a question-

There was once a second website buzzerbeater used called buzzerbeater allstars or something like that. This was a few years ago, but was being used by some BBs to test a BB in the form of NBA. I can recall seeing some leagues with NBA players but for some reason Kendrick Perkins was amazing haha.

Anyways, why can't that website be used to run second teams on? Could be on it's own website but would still be linked to supporter. That way there wouldn't be the threat of cheating between teams. This would be basically its own world and generate a new erra of players so that the current BB players aren't used for these teams.

I like the idea, but also dislike at the same time-

BuzzerBeater supporter includes several features designed to make the game more enjoyable and add depth to your role as general manager of a basketball team. You will not get any in-game advantages, because we feel very strongly that users who cannot afford to support the game must still be able to compete.


Thats taken right from the supporter "list of features"
I feel like giving a team a 2nd team would be an In-game advantage.. Because you can learn lots of new things with an 2nd team. Lets be real here- the first few seasons with 2nd teams would be almost like a sandbox for supporters. Finding out how to use the tactics for their teams (If PLs wernt enough..) and other game related topics. It would give teams an advantage of having an amazing front court on one team- and an amazing back court on the other. Teams could figure out which works much better for them- what tactics, and how to dominate BB.

But why do I like the idea? It saves BB.
It will generate more users and money, and thats important..

Maybe they'll think of something for non supporters- even though the rewards system is helpful for some.

I did vote yes however- I want to keep on playing on Buzzerbeater.
