I am not often on here to give my opinion (cause everyone already has one), but who cares about the name? I mean, Utopia is just a name. I don't specificly like my real name. But hey, I can always say that it was given to me...

I kinda like the idea of an international league myself. Not sure if I will go for it... but the option is kind of appealing to me. For people in a small country (Holland is kinda small) it is a nice opportunity to compete in a large league, cause not everyone has the luxury of a large group of active managers in their country. Ofcourse it may cause for some extra problems, but I am sure those can be fixed along the way. I also think it will be interesting for people who are relatively new to the game, or jumped in later. The option to manage a second team is just a nice way to be able to start from scratch with the knowledge one has gotten and compete with active managers from all over the world... a GBA (Global BuzzerBeater Association)!! I really can't see what is not to like about that. I think eventually (if there will actually be as many active members who'd join (as I'd expect)), people might even like their team in "Utopia" better than their original one. Simply cause it will be far more challenging to get to the top (and stay there).

The paying issue for supporter... don't really have an opinion on that. Ofcourse $10 might be a bit expensive for some people. But I do think it is fair to have both supporters and non-supporters pay for it. Only thing is... there won't be any active managers who don't have the money for it and it would be a shame to not have them on board, cause that would make it challengingerest!!!!!

Oh yeah, for sure it's much easier to do that.

Please, every season, some manager will go for their tenth season played. So what? You change them from their league to this new one? How would you fill this vacant place from original league?

I appreciate BB work and GM answear to mostly post even if you are aggressive. Just stay home if you don't get any proposition to do except this one.

i am looking for a good reason to take part, but you do not give me any good one already, because this only means that Marin will have more work with the same resources and without solving any of the problems BB has, we are only adding a new league so we are adding more problems but it is the only feature that means money for BB. The rest of problems would require solutions without earning a buck


If having the opportunity to compete in arguably the most competitive nation BB has to offer from a completely even starting point (and the ability to tell people who might complain that you're only successful since you've been here since season 4 to meet you in Utopia and prove their mettle) doesn't interest you, then it doesn't interest you. I'm still not sure how a $40 annual subscription fee for supporter can be considered development resources for BB but somehow the $10 annual subscription fee for MettaPeaceLand doesn't increase resources at all and is merely a cash grab, but considering the number of changes in recent seasons it's hardly fair to say they're only going to focus on things to bring in more money. Feel free to have your own perspective on the facts, but please try to refrain from inventing your own.


if your goal is a 1000 users game, go ahead, it is your choice



If your goal is to make me consider your opinion on this worthless, equating this decision with losing 96% of the userbase is an excellent start.

Main issue is to decide rules, because after it, according to my low aknowledge of coding and DBs, you can prebuild an excel sheet and create a fictional upload page where 2nd team's owner can set your choices, then at upload you can do 2 things: data entry or auto-import.... one max two working coding day plus testing.

I will treat it super "competitivly"!!! Why woudln't managers treat it that way when like 1000 teams or 500 or w/e are all starting from 0 all at the same time.
Stop talking bad about this Second Team, its the BEST Idea EVER!


Agreed, Melo9!
I already posted my support for the second team announcement, and I guess I will again.
Hooray for Utopia and 2nd Team!!! I'm totally stoked.
Definitely treating it competitively. I have utterly no interest in farming or doing anything other than trying to win the Utopia League I'm in and advance to the next Division.
I enjoy this game very much, and thus the opportunity to have two teams means double the fun.
