haha

look at this team, in my league, became a bot, all his 10k+ players became free agents, and all the other players are transfer listed as "owned" by him.
in almost 7 seasons of playing BB, I never saw something like this

I think there's something funky there with the bankruptcy algorithm.

His team went bot on Nov. 6 2008. The team probably has been set to continue training (bots don't change it, since they'll eventually be taken over by humans anyway), so he's been training for a long time. Since he's ineliglible for the national team while on a bot and will retire anyway when a human takes over the team, it hasn't really ever presented a problem.

He did not meet the free agency threshold at the time his team went bot, and it's a one-time check.


So he won't be a Free Agent?

thats what he means. when the team went bot, the decision was made whether the player would be released or not. I understand your frustration, but I guess the training that went on after the team went bot should not have "happened" if you know what I mean.

We had a similar decision about a team that got banned and had a great trainee. We noticed in time that the team went bot, so I recruited the player into the U21 and he got was saved. I guess that is the only thing we can do as NT and U21 coaches. Be proactive and continuesly check the leagues whether teams went bot or not... I think it is worth the effort.

ps just trying to help, how you could avoid it from happening again. not trying to be patronizing...

No problem... we will live as well :-) it's just sick to see a 48k of 21 years old "dead".

I didn't know his existence and it was my fault...

dont think it was your fault...

i have asked and never got an answer whether it would be possible to give NT and U21 coaches a notification when a team goes bot that has your NT players in it. For the big countries it isnt so bad when 1 player gets lost somewhere down the track. But for countries like Cyprus or like mine, it is a killer blow.

Well... it is... for my way to think.

Anyway Cyprus will be good as well (I hope :p).

Well, if he was already on the team he'd be automatically listed anyways.
