As a returning manager since season 30ish (when I left due to personal reasons), I've seen a lot of change that have made the game better already.
One change that has made the game better (in my opinion) is the implementation of micro-nations. This gives us better competition than playing bots every week.
However, to extend with this somewhat new feature, something that I'd like to ask Marin is: Will we see a change to the competitions to U21 and National teams?
My suggestion to support my question is to implement a micro nation world tournament (in place of the consolation tournament). So we'd have (for example):
- Season 51: 1. Micro nation world tournament (for micro nations from each continent) and 2. a normal world tournament (for the other nations from each continent).
- Season 52: Normal continental tournaments.
- Season 53: Same as season 51.
- And so on and so forth.
This gives the opportunity for the smaller nations to win some trophies, as well as give incentives for managers to train their players and therefore, maybe BB can retain some of their users.
Alternatively, we could have three tournaments going on, that is, the micro nation world tournament (for the micro nations), a middle (need a better name lol) world tournament (for the not so small, yet not so big nations), and the world tournament (for the bigger nations). So it'd look like (for example):
- Season 51: 1. Micro nation world tournament. 2. middle world tournament. 3. world tournament.
- Season 52: Normal continental tournaments.
- Season 53: Same as season 51.
- And so on and so forth.
I don't see the point of having a consolation tournament, as it just wastes one season's worth of talent of a young player, especially for the smaller nations when we can't compete against the top nations that constantly win it.
