Controversial update... If it's to keep, definitely needs some changes, taking into account other variables. Nevertheless, I get the point and I think it's honourable from you folks to think about the economic inequalities.

Well you can consider me underwhelmed by this one. I think this is a great update to make Supporter more accessible across the BB world. The issue I have is that someone could have mitigated the hype by simply telling us it wouldn’t be a Major Update from a gameplay standpoint.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

I didn't say this is not a good change, I said this change should not come alone. They ask us for money, but I think that if I don't buy supporter is because it doesn't deserve, but if I see that they are really working to improve the game, maybe I will pay and they will have more money to continue improving the game. It is just an opinion and I also share your point of view.

Confirming that this looks like a straight up GDP ordering of countries.

My feeling is a better way to rank supporter tiers would be be by median household or individual income by country, thereby reducing the bias of some countries (UAE, Singapore, etc.) having a more unequal distribution of income than others.

I am not seeing as neat of a reference for median income though, as the GDP data sources such as the World Bank don't seem to have this. The best I could find on a quick search was a ranking by the Gallop poll. I would like to suggest that the supporter tiers be ranked by this data rather than GDP, being a better representation of the purchasing power of an "average" Buzzerbeater user:

Median is not average, and thereby not a good representation of an overall data set. The median for 10, 20, & 100 is 55, whereas the mean(average) is 43.33. The median of 10, 20, 25, 30, and 100 is still 55, while the mean is now 37.

Edited to add: Maths? Who remembers maths?
