It could be part of the scouting. Lets say if you scout more than 20 points per week, you will be allowed to draft a player of your own choice of country. If this happens, then BB's best players will be from all over the world. For example lets say an inactive country like ghana. The players getting drafted there are just heading to the inactive managers. So all Ghanaian players, just age there without proper training.

Hope you understand.

You can just buy players from any country.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

Well how about if they dont sell them? They are all inactive? So using my example again, all Ghanaian players, stay in ghana without proper training.

Hope you understand.

Yer I think its a novel idea.

maybe they could modify the draft such that a certain % of players are from random overseas countries.

So 48 draftee's, and lets say, 12 of them are from randomly generated overseas countries.


This would actually make some of the minor nations more competitive AND make lesser potential players more attractive to draft.
Let say you drafted a star potential player from your own country you would generally fire him. Star potential player from Barbados though - U21 team here we come!
The result would be more
- more interest in lesser potential players
- more players being trained for the micro-nations
- more interest in the draft because of the above item. (which in turn, results in less whinging and people suggesting alternatives to the draft in the forums! Bonus!)

So i think this is a good idea and has some actually really good benefits to the game in it.

Exactly, you put it in a very good structure.

I love your inputs on it. I will try to talk to the BB's, and try to make it happen in season 30!

Thanks,

no worries!

they monitor the suggestions forums, so you don't have to speak to them directly.

The only thing about this suggestion is that I think in the Draft and Scouting page, there should be a little notification to say whether or not the draftee is from overseas or local. Perhaps this is something that should be revealed after spending 1 scouting point on the draftee
(ie: Either a single scout, scouting combine or group demo).

I have another IDEA,

I am in america, but i am a Kenya native.

So, my idea is : Every single country in the world should have players. Even if there aren't any managers from the country.

Coach Regan, pick it up from there if you feel a flare on that.

Thanks,
LPG

haha

a flare? lol....

there are 99 countries in Buzzerbeater at the moment. In order for them to have players from countries that aren't active, they would need to create 'inactive' leagues which don't have any human-players in it.

and whilst it would be nice, it means there would not be an U21 or national team for these countries. Can't have an u21 national team for a country that doesn't have any human-managers in it!

So, there could be some problems with that. Maybe you just need to convince some of your friends or family back home to create a BuzzerBeater account? Then there would be some Kenyans! :)
