Don't see much profit in discussing one of the worst (in my opinion) Ideas for BuzzerBeater ever but ...

How would you gain more money with this? Actually, I guess you would start to complain soon if this would happen because the Transferprices for Div 3/4/5 players would rise

Would be easier if BBs just changed the Rules to "Players not from US/China/Spain/Italy/France are not allowed to register and play"


Even the possibility Tatamka presented would most likely help MicroNations (well at least their NTs), not sure if it would be a great Idea to flood the Market with MicroNation players, I guess quite a few play because they at least can easily train and keep one or more Players for their National Team even if they don't have much competition in their league

So in real life national teams, players can be brought on to the national team if they were nationalized for a set about of time.
For example for the SA rugby team to be eligible for the national team you must play on a club team within South Africa for 3 years, then you are "naturalized".
You could do a similar thing in BB. Where Utopia players need to play 3 o r4 seasons for a team in a nation to be eligible to play for the NT team... and to denote that a player is naturalized the flag is half Utopia, half whatever nation he is naturalized on. However players would only be able to play for one NT team, so if a US naturalized Utopian player played one game for the NT, he is ineligible to play for another NT. The player would be eligible for said US NT if he transferred clubs, but if within those 4 years he is never capped, his naturalization is reset.
Just a thought:).

Difficult to bring up a situation in real life when we're talking about a fictitious country. Personally I don't think Utopian players should even be able to leave Utopia, let alone play for another country.

While this seems like an idea that will benefit small countries, it isn't. If you saw a Utopian 18yo on the transfer list with good starting skills, you'd see a frenzy over the bidding and likely an astronomical fee. Who would that be good for? Why, the Utopian team that's selling him does best out of it doesn't it? That's an unfair advantage. And based on sheer numbers it's unlikely to be a micro nation team that bought him.

I totally agree. It was a very poor decision in terms of realism.
