Surely the advantage is being able to enjoy watching your player play at what is possibly the highest level of competition?

Players gain experience in NT games, while they can't carry over an injury to your league games. So this;

Right now, there really is absolutely no advantage to having your player on th NT.

is nonsense, you get something without any risk for having players in NTs.

Another thing is that there will be merchandise changes in the future which effect players in NTs.

If you can't afford a high salary player in your team, then you should sell him.


There is no risk of going bankrupt at all.

Nowadays, having a player in NT is just for pride. We see a lot of managers having very promising players stop the training because of the salary. And now, farm teams are appearing and "true" teams cannot afford and compete with these teams.
If the BBs don't care about farm teams, ok, there is no need of salary help for international players. But very soon there won't be any manager that will try to train for NT because there is no advantage at all.

i don't believe that an finacial award will make this situation better, maybe a NT becomes again wotrthy but you don't have just NT players - you will also have a long time in training them to this level and you pay also salary for this.

In the german Bundesliga there are 4 100k+ Centers, and as a owner of one of them i could pay his paycheck. For the training, the most switched to guard training because the salary raise is very high and an additional Skillup in the inside cost 15k so probadly this isn't a system for the future - but for this it gives economical change which could make it possible to pay very high salarys in competive leagues with an competive Team.

Top Teams can afford top players, that's the way BB is designed, others can't. Top teams right now can have a roster of 550k-600k salary, so they do have the salary space to have 1 or 2 awesome NT players in their starting lineup.

Since BB is still looking for it's equilibrum, thus still involving, I expect (certainly with the new merchandise changes) that top BB teams will be able to support an even larger team salary in the next few seasons.

Apart from this, farm teams will still exist and won't dissappear, just as in HT. Compensate teams who got NT players with a salary refund, will just lead to more powerfull farm teams, since they can pay the player more weeks, thus the farm team will go bankrupt later. I don't think such a compensation will lead to more NT players at more 'normal' topteams.

In BB it's just impossible to keep a 250k player for several seasons in the D3 or lower, so farm teams here are less effective than in HT.

I know that it has been announced that additional merchandise revenue...but it really would be nice if they would give us a guideline as to how much increased revenue this will be.
Is it going to be an additional $1-2K per week? or $10-20K per week?

And basically on ALL changes it would be nice to have an idea how big/small the changes will be.

that would be lot more, depending on the quality of the league.

Exact numbers i can not give you, and i believe the BB didn't know it yet too ;) But they will depend somekind on the average salarys from your league.
