Explain what advantage please, because I don't get it.

For sure it will affect BB as you said (except NT) but whats the issue? If soudainly, lot of new manager come in the game in actual nation, it would be the same but you wouldn't tell it is a problem.

I would like to point to a good suggestion here (255542.1)

Basically, Utopia would be "Rest of the world". Players would have flags from random nation, which currently doesn't participate BB. Everything would count like a normal country. Players would play for Rest of the World NT, they would count towards merchandising etc.

I'm not sure how difficult would this be to program. Basically, BBs would have to make an extra field in the database for the flag graphics. Every other code part would work as usual. Every player would be coded to xxx country for every calculation, except that the flag graphic would be replaced with yyy value from this added field.

I'm guessing draft names would be tough to add though..

fair - if you like it, buy it; if you don't, don't. Problem solved.
If it was so easy, I would not have a problem with it. It isn't so easy. Utopia League will affect on BB (other leagues, transfer list, national teams etc.) because it will not be separated like private leagues. Second team will give advantage. You will buy advantage. That's why I don't like it.


It will have an effect on other leagues, sure. That is well within the bounds of reason. I just reject your conclusion that "Second team will give advantage" - if you believe that, of course, that's your right, but you're presenting that without justifying that argument and it does your opinion a disservice.

I already bought my 2nd team in Utopia but i think my opinion changed... after a few seasons there will be too many "utopian" players and of course... the game will be very strange to me and to some new users... a fantasy game at all...

so here is my suggestion, 2nd team in a brand new server... every one can choose a BB Nation where to play, start from season 1 a new game that is similar to BB, but a pay to play game... if the players with 2nd team are very few, then you can choose only among fewer countries...

i hope everything was clear, sorry for my english...

I can see not liking the 'Utopia' idea but why do you want only a 2nd team for only home nation/nation of residence. This I do not understand.

Where would the NBA be if players like Gasol, Duncan, Batum, Ginobli, etc. etc. never wanted to play ball outside their nation? Where would the entire world of basketball be if American Bball coaches (like Kobe Bryants dad) were not interested in running teams in other nations?

I guess you are just really invested in like NT stuff. For me the Utopia idea is a problem of delivery. The idea of a fantasy Utopia nation is kinda dumb and its obvious lots of people don't like it. Like Nuff Respect said they never did a poll about Utopia to see what people actually thought.

I honestly think if they change it to something like BB International or something like that and it stands as a league which represents an internation organization, not some fantasy country, people will be more receptive to it.

At least they could call it BB International or something, instead of Utopia..

But anyway, I'm done complaining. Good luck to everyone signing up, as for me, I'll pretend that it doesn't exist. There will be seasons until some good Utopian players show up at the market, and I don't have to buy them anyway. I'll just buy regular players from real nations, and pretend that Utopian players don't exist.

At least human beings are extremely good at self-deceiving. Surprisingly useful at a situation like this LOL

There were so many people against second teams because they didn't want their own country 'invaded' that the BBs decided the only way to implement 2nd teams without making people want to quit was to create Utopia.
