In my first BBM match I'm from III div being 1197 in world ranking, against a 1st div 1603 in ranking. So it looks like I am the favourite one! Is there something wrong in the evaluation of the ranking?

The team you are facing, from Uruguay not Argentina, was in D2 last season and D3 the season before. Some of his big wages are recent purchases.

It's difficult to have a perfect draw. Especially with so many teams.

Maybe still do the draws depending on World Ranking, but have the salary average have some influence too. We would still have teams buying or selling between the moment of the draw and their BBM games though.

Yes, I understand and can live with it, and sorry for my bad knowledge of national flags

My point is, being a D1 team he can afford better players (in fact he just bought some), his provenience and actual salary are less important, just my opinion. So in the balance of weights used to evaluate the world ranking maybe the division should be much more important than the history (somewhat important) and the actual salaries (less important).
This way a D1 could never have a lower ranking than a D3, expecially when the D3 team salaries are sooo lower than his.

However I agree this is something still in progress, let's see in the future

I think you should use your head a little and investigate properly to understand why a user who recently promoted to Div I is in your BBM tier instead of just complaining

>his provenience and actual salary are less important, just my opinion

His provenience is one if not the most important factor, e.g :

- The user could have tanked or had a bad season in BBM past season which tanked his ranking
- Your team could have had a great BBM/League/Cup last season which made your rankings go up by a lot
- Your team could have deranked from the II. league
- Your salaries being lower than his is irrelevant, it could be a recent user while you could be a seasoned one affecting your rankings a lot
etc.

Observations :

- The BBM system is new, it will keep adapting in the few next seasons, after about 4 seasons of BBM it should be at it's most balanced point
- Sometimes game experience matters more than plain salaries. I've won against users who had 60k to 150k more team salary than me.
- A lot of players salaries are vastly disproporionate compared to their real value, a plyer could have 20 Inside Defense 15 Rebounding but then have 11 in all the other skills and have more than 100k salary, which IMO any team with this kind of player could be beaten depending on tactics and player build and suitability

Having looked at your transfer history, actual squad and arena I think you should have no problem having a better squad than you have already with more salary while still mantaining profit.

This idea sounds pretty good. I had another idea based on this. What about if you set minimum and maximum tiers that a team from certain division can be part of? For example:

Div 1 teams can only be in tier 1 and 2.
Div 2 teams can be anywhere from tier 1 to maybe tier 6.
Div 3 teams can be anywhere from maybe tier 5 to tier 11
Div 4 teams can be anywhere tier 9 or above

So,

Tiers 1 and 2 - mix of Div 1 and 2 teams
Tiers 3 and 4 - only Div 2 teams
Tiers 5 and 6 - mix of Div 2 and 3 teams
Tiers 7 and 8 - only Div 3 teams
Tiers 9 and 10 - mix of Div 3 and 4 teams
Tiers 11 and above - only div 4 teams

This way there would never be a situation that there is 2 division gap between 2 teams in the same tier. I feel like this would balance things out a lot.

I agree with some things you said, but please be more polite when speaking to someone you do not know, I know how to use my head and respect what is presented just like an opinion.

Also you did not get my point, read the answer of BB Justin, he got it making a nice proposal.

Pardon me if it seemed rude it was not my intention at all, altough I think you should not get offended by such easy words

Also, great suggestion Justin!

no offense taken, at times I can be too sensitive
