I have to admit that I dont like this idea... Although I spend much time on bb at the moment, I wouldnt like to manage 2 teams, I simply feel like I couldnt pay as much attention to my second team as I pay to my first. That is my personal opinion, but I believe this isnt: I would just hate to play with some guy from USA, Australia or China, etc.(nations randomly picked:D) We dont speak same language, we dont even play bb at same hours because of different time zone, I cant celebrate when Serbia wins some match either in bb or in RL with them, I cant mourn with them when Serbia lose...

Another thing is something that Yellow Cake from Japan mentioned, possibility of stealing draft picks by second teams, and then intentionally not training them, just because you want to harm some country.

To conclude, I dont like this idea, but it can be improved... There was a lot of talking about some country called Utopia(or even WNBA, I like this too:D) on previous topic about this suggestion, where every second team would play. I suppose this is a lot harder to implement in game, but I like it much more, because all of the problems mentioned in this post will be fixed... Utopia will have it own leagues, cup, winners can even play in BBB, everything like a normal country...

I hope you managed to understand what I was trying to say, my english is pretty bad, but I did my best here:D

Well, I would support a feamle team probably. Having a second team in the same competitions is not a really good thought. Just contact with Hattrick useres.

Still better than bot according to those India users. And if you aren't willing to compete with that second team, it's quite possible that other would. I see that you now agree that this wouldn't be that overwhelming for the small countries to have new teams.

Since you keep mentioning these India users, according to the stats there are 28 active teams there. However, as we know the real number is probably half of that, meaning that their second division is practically empty. They would never get the amount of secondary teams to make the game more challenging.
Furthermore, If I create a secondary team, I would not chose to put in a small country where I will die of boredom. I will want to create it in Poland, Italy, France, US, etc. where I can get some fun. This in turn means that secondary teams will be concentrated in the most popular countries (in the game) which could disrupt the national identity of the respective leagues.
Things like that defeat the purpose of secondary teams, and I'm still waiting to hear a good reason why they should exist.

I think that secondary team option is a little bit differential.
From the one hand, having a second team could help new managers (like me) to do some experiments with another, not cheating of course, without afraid of losing their (primary) team's progress. On the other hand, as it was said, the point of national teams will be lost when almost every supporter has a secondary team in a foreign country. I personally like the idea of having a secondary team and if it is finally decided to be an option for supporters it will motivate me to buy the year's package!!
Finally, a little suggestion. Could we maybe have an option to change our primary team to secondary team and the other way? For example if new users have done some mistakes with their primary team changing to the secondary team will give them the chance to correct those mistakes by using their secondary team as their primary.

I think running a Utopia country and placing all second teams there would be a better option.

It would give the feel of a B3 where good managers from around the world compete against each other.

No matter how it happens though, I am willing to pay for a second team.

The idea seems very good, if you are willing to train the youth and older Colombians welcome to Colombia.

First of all, I have been playing Buzzerbeater for almost five years now and I like the steady improvements and the fact, that BB is doing a better job of communicating with the community now.

I really like the idea of having an option to create a second team. I would apply for it because I think it would increase the fun level for me. Launching a new team, avoiding the many mistakes made when started the first team, experimenting with new training/team concepts/strategies and also helping smaller countries to increase the activities in their leagues and forums - thats sounds great to me. And of course, it would make the Supporter package even more attractive, which is very important for the game.

Regarding the possibility of farming activities: Maybe BB should think about restrictions for U21 and NT players in second teams.

Languages: Of course, managers should be aware that if they want to create a second team in another country, they should at least have basic English skills to post in forums, answer PMs and so on. Skills in the specific language of that country would be even better.

All in all, I voted YES. Go for it!

And to all managers who don't like the idea: The second team would just be an option. If you don't want to have a second team, you don't need to create one. It doesn't affect your first team in any way.
