Comparing this idea with the current system (to show how it will be more fair):

(1) we are trading "Big crowds vs. No crowd(no game!)" to "Big crowd vs. Not so big crowd"
(2) and we are trading "training advantage" to "finantial prizes" (the BB's can come up with the appropriate values of it, based on their understanding of the game economy)

Edit: and btw, in the new idea also every user will still ahve games, since some users are complaining they might drop BB because of their lack of meaningful games for 3 weeks...

Ok so we have 2 sucess stories against how many people quit becuase they couldn't do what you did?

Secondly, I also said come to my league - We lost 6-8 teams in the last 2 weeks because they couldn't win. I didn't win (hopefully that changes Tuesday), but I was thinking about the playoffs more than the regular season as my fate was decided weeks ago.

PS sorry for the mispelling - I guess and I could of corrected it later, but I had class

Well I had 6 people come into my side of the league last season, all above me. I beat them and won the title.

If people can't handle losing then they shouldn't be playing a game.

I very much doubt that Raonne and I are the only ones to win from the bottom.

I don't think you could claim that all the players that have become inactive did so because they lost.

Even if they did how do you propose that they all win? They will probably do the same thing if they start at position #1 and then lose.

I just signed in. My team is in 5th place, and I've seen on the roster there is no matches in sight...

yet I start with 100k in my account, while I will lose about 40k weekly...

I'm not sure when my first match will be, or what other income I can count on, but I know I signed in on the worst possible way... at the end of regular season, with no matches ahead until...

I haven't realy started yet, and already must think about ways to avoid bankrupcy.

Anyone is a worse position...feel free to announce yourself. ;)

You will receive 50k a week for the first 4 weeks as a new team bonus. So you should be ok at least through the off-season.

Per the news item on the front page, you'll also have two additional matches during the offseason.

thanks, didn't know about the 50k.

And those scrimmages, will this help a lot?
in training yes, but will they draw as much spectators as competition games?

I doubt it. But, it gives you an opportunity to see your team in action, try out some tactics, and then dominate the regular season!

They won't draw anywhere close to league/cup matches. Plus no revenue is generated from scrimmages.

okay, so there goes my hope for a few bucks...

well, at least we can get some training.

good thinking of the developpers to give noobs 50 k each week. (I doubt I would survive if not, now it should take me trough the off season)
Hope I can sell some players to lower my wages each week. ;)
