Draft will still be a problem.

Imagine a league where half of the teams are from Japan and the other half are from Vietnam. These two countries face themselves in NT level. We could have the half Japanese tanking voluntarily to get the best draft AND in the meantime blocking a good draft for the Vietnam part.

One action, two benefit. Good draft for us, bad draft for our opponents.


It' s a good point. Then when the servers create players, also nationality could be decided for each player, just in the same moment with the other skills, and indipendently from who chooses who. Namely, if for a country there are X teams in a League, in the draft 3*X players belong to that country, and they won't change nationality even if they are choosen by a manager from another country. Managers could know the draftees' nationality thanks to scouts, in this way.

Of course, this means that a Japanese manager could choose a player from Vietnam, and vice versa. (once the player is a draftee, the merchandising bonus should not change even if he belongs to another country, of course).

this would create problem with the merch.

But overall i like this sugestion pretty much, and think the upsides are bigger then the downside.

Another problem would be B3, because with the merged (or unmerged) cup, fewer participants could ruin the system. Love the idea though.

The problems are much greater now for the BB as they would be if there were regions for these small countries.

I don't think that these players would care that much about they NT as they will never be competitive the way things are anyway, and they will with a more competitive league have more fun.

I think the BBs should ask these comunities what they want,and try to figure out a way to do something similar to what is proposed here and see if the user database of these countries go up or down, looking at things from a big country,for the game economicaly losing the only 13 users of some country and losing 13 from a big country has almost the same impact.

This is the best idea I've heard so far. Keep countries separate in lower leagues, then teams move up to "regional" pro leagues. They get to represent their country against good competition, and finances are balanced somewhat compared to larger countries. Draftees would still come from a team's country of origin.
