As you know, i agree with you at 100%.
Despite this being just a game, i am sure BB´s want to keep it close to reality.
And in real life, those type of teams simply do not exist.
I guess that something must be done to stop this.

Lietuva NT do have "farm" teams. i agree. but is this a problem? those salary monster's of our NT never won any competition. the problem is the community. it's very hard to convince them, that they need better players not bigger salary's. i tried it several times, always failed. so this goes on... although as i know better players are being trained, but i'm just not sure how better they will be, and how nt manager will handle this.

Yes is a problem because it takes away the fairness of the competiton. And actually my main worry is not Lietuva but yes China, it's just plain ridiculous how many farms exist, just look around their II-IV leagues and you will see. Of course they are the best national team, the managers join the game, don't buy anything for a couple seasons, then go crazy on a level 7 trainer and one chinese trainee. Who wants to play the game to do this? That's why I believe so many farms are 2nd accounts and should be banned from this game.

ok, you have a point here, i agree a little. but maybe this should not end in bans. maybe there could be some transfer salary cap according to division you are in? 1st - no cap, 2nd - players with max 150k can be bought, 3rd - 120k, 4th - 100k?

I'm not accusing anyone, just saying that I can't see myself doing the same thing unless it was my second account.

I think the BB's should work on this subject to make things the most fair possibly for all the NT. It's one thing having a 150k player on division II to be competitive and it's another diferent being a farm who doesn't care about winning games.


I believe Italy have some farms themselves but that was a very good win, congratulations ;)

1- make the NT player sustainable (maybe paying an half of the wage?)
2- try to avoid farm teams as it was proposed (more than XX% you will pay a lot)

1 - it doesn't seem to me as a good solution, there are now quite high merchandise money from NT players. This would cause lobbing of many managers for their players just to pay half of their salaries. And it there are 2 similar player one at NT, another one not at NT, one would be given great advantage.
2 - it would not stop farm teams, it would just caused change from 1 player farms to 2 players farms

I think you just want to ban people left and right. It is upon the community to turn out leaving players into farms if they think farm is a must - no need to punish those who took care and succeed in that.. So far it is not.

Farm team can still turn out into a normal compatitive team, if for anything else just because that banning such a team shouldn't be justifiable.

the match that I linked you is the U21 final game, and Italy U21 has not farm. About NT, I think that actually a NT cannot sostain his best big men without a farm (or something similar). The wages are very high, even for a Div. 1 team.


I would consider this team (48577) as a farm, but still impressive.

Portugual's best center Antonio Silves was in a Div.I team, that drafted him, here in Portugal while he was receiving +400k in salary and that team actually won a championship http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/1062/overview.aspx?sea... but after that season Silves' salary jumped to +500k and was impossible for the trainer to keep him. Probably the only reason that he could afford him when he was 400k was the fact that it was his draftee and he probably won a lot of merchandising.

I don't want to ban people left and right. I believe that some farm teams are just second accounts and if so, should be banned.
Do you believe that team with Degulys will be competitive? I don't think so.
I think that farm teams are unfair so, there should be way to punish people who want to do this.
