A better idea, according me, would have been to draft a player from a "real" nationality, with a probability inversely proportional to the number of users of the country. In other words, an utopian team would have more chance to draft a player from Pakistan than from USA.


That would be a huge change and level the field (to a certain degree) for micros.

You can't design a game to cater to a guy like you who obviously wants to be the best at this or that. Most people in BB can't be the best, they need to be in a very low division with low division players.


I am the king of mediocrity, the opportunity to be one of the best teams is gone since I abandoned my first team. Now I just want to be above average in DIVII, train my centers in passing and build some above average players, turn my swag on and cound them stacks.

Maybe the game becomes better in the future, as long as there are that many things I would like to see changed/improved, I'll ride in the backseat and save up some money.

Albeit I like the fact there is a false nationality that has no nationalism behind it, it's also true that such a proposition could work and be useful for micronations.

There would still create a problem to resolve. As of now, if you buy a player from your nation, your merchandising benefit from it. If there is no Utopia nationality, there is no merchandising to gain and it is a lot more money to lose than few NT players. I also don't know exactly how the game would consider your draftee as your own if they are from another nation.

Maybe a tweak can be done to create two nationalities or keep a trace that it was drafted in Utopia, but without that tweak, it is a problem for Utopia clubs if there is no Utopia nationality.


I have never sensed that there is some nationalism in this game, although I have to point out that the germans are stupid and stink.

After all we are only talking about fixing all those things, because opting for Utopia instead of existing nations was a poor decision in the first place. And those tweaks most likely won't happen soon as there is no manpower and money to get it done. So where do we go from here?

Utopia teams compete against Utopia teams. Therefore there's no loss or gain overall in the lack of merchandising for removing (a non existent) utopia nationality.

How much can you really take away from them? Most money would come from homegrown NT players, as those can't exist, I doubt it would be a huge dent in income for those few teams.

Have you compared a team that has many own drafted players and players from its own nation to a team with players from random nations? The difference is pretty big. Or would you be OK if they just randomly removed say 40k from your weekly incomes just because how much can it really do?


Dude if I made 40k in merch I would be the happiest guy on earth. So we are just talking about saving the top teams once again?
