On Topic:
Buy a second team....that is silly.....Play another Basketball Sim if 3 games a week aren't enough or buy supporter so you can get an extra game via private leagues. Next season I will have a NT(U-21) game on Monday, League game on Tuesday, BB3 game on Wednesday, Cup/scrimmage game on Thursday, Private league game on Friday and another league game on Saturday....Rest on Sunday....I certainly don't need another team. I also don't think somebody who made a bunch of mistakes with their current team should be able to buy a second team to start over. If someone wants to start over, just stop logging in and come back in 6 weeks. Easy as that. Want another game a week..Buy supporter, you want 5 games a week..Try your hand at being a NT coach. 6 games a week is doable but you have to get a BB3 ticket.


And Wolph, why are you even posting in here..you have never spent one YEN/DOLLAR/RUBLE on this game...even your latest supporter was bought by someone trying to get achievment points. And now you are on here talking about spending money on a second team....that is funny!!!! What is that again...get off my jock you say...who is on your jock son?...Last time I checked there will be two teams from Japan in the BB3 next season and your team isn't one of them!!!!!

I've not read the whole topic, so maybe this idea has already been developped :
what about paying for having your only team in the country of your choice ?
For example :
Someone logs on for the first time : 2 options
1 - play in your log-in country (as supporter or not)
2 - play in the country of your choice paying 5$ a year (or 7 or 10 ... whatever) (+ supporter if you want)

That way, this could make the number of divisions more average between the different countries (who would like to start in div.8 in a large country in terms of players ? :P)
(i don't get into the NT or U21 debate for the moment)
For instance, as i am Moroccan, i would gladly join the Moroccan league even if i live in France, and I would pay for it.

I agree this idea comes a bit on the edge of the topic, still i find it can give an opportunity of getting some $ for the game...

the new nation "utopia" solved basically every problem

1 "utopia" teams draft players from the nation of "utopia"

what nation problem fixed

2 "utopia" will be made up of the best managers so be really competitive

micronation problem fixed

3 "utopia" doesnt have an u21 or nt team

world domination problem fixed

4 "utopia" doesnt get to send anyone to the b3

b3 problem fixed

5 all teams have their "sister" team listed on their front page so any1 can see which teams are related

which teams are related problem fixed

6 both teams owned by the same person r banned from all trades form each other under the threat of both teams being instantly banned & because of 5 anyone can just see these trades & report them problem fixed

without a line of code transfer problem fixed

7 both teams must remain supporters or the utopia team goes bot in 1 week = more income for bb hooray

bb cash flow problem @ least improved :P


i cant see a single problem remaining anything i missed???

Game times and forum languages.

In response to #6 just make it to where Utopia players can only be bought by Utopian teams.

Also limit 1 team in utopia per user

The only way this will possibly work is if there is zero chance of the two teams interacting at all. They can't get players from each other, they can't play each other, I would say don't even let them scrimmage. As long as the two teams are in the same "world", there is going to be some chance that they'll interact. The two teams don't even have to interact directly. Maybe the two teams have national team players for competing countries. Even the potential for a conflict of interest is all too obvious.

There's a reason that real life sports leagues implemented rules to prevent owners having a stake in more than one team at the same time. In order for accounts to have more than one team, the safest arrangement - really, the only safe measure to avert gaming the system - is to have two different worlds, entirely cut off from each other.

I can already tell you that, as a Supporter, I wouldn't go for this, at least not immediately. Aside from not wanting to spend more money on the game, I have enough of a challenge already with just the one team.

If there are only 40,000+ users of the main game right now, how many users want a second team? 5,000? 2,000? Less? The demand for a feature like this should be a key determinant of whether it gets off the ground, and that even before answering all the logistical and mechanical questions.

This whole Utopia idea is really bad, why would we open up another country if there are dozens that need to be filled. A new game world would cannibalize the game, as many teams would probably disappear (I have a sneaking suspicion that some countries are just outlets of medium nations).

A long long time ago, I suggested to put a second team in the same account, so it is clear who the team owner is. In addition it would be extremely easy to block teams in one account to interact (buying, selling players) with each other.

Allow us to buy a second team in a country with less than 100 users (first come, first serve), if all countries are filled up raise the limit to 200 or so. 100 users is a borderline "playable" community - however put teams in the lowest possible division to "save" them from constant dissapointment (i.e. getting slaughtered every game, without being able to prevent it).

Those points are really bad.

2 -> especially in connection with 7, this will lead "Utopia" to be a rich peoples country, ~$80 per year + fee for the second team? not the best, but the people with deep pockets will populate Utopia.

3 -> meh, why would I want to train players then?

4 -> meh, why would I want to be uber competitive then?

7 -> too expensive, supporter as it is needs to be cheaper anyway, but thats a different story...
