and i hope you praise god, that you could play BB with a real competition, which in my eyes makes it funny not boring.

Of course, it's more funny when getting to the top is very hard. That's why making the competition in small countries harder, will make them enjoy more the game than now, as we do. Let's bring some of our "amusement" also to the small countries!

Even if we are wining with low salary we still need money to buy players to be competitive on BBB. Yes our teams rise faster than yours on the domestic leagues but BBB considered your in a better position compared to me. You are playing much longer than me=more money. Also put on the account the experience that you get after so much seasoning, and here you have more experience tactic wise.

Also if you check my games you will find out that i am out from the cup, losing from the worse team in CBBA. Why? couz i had 3 games in a row against the 3 from the best teams in my league. Ive made my choices, and they where wrong, but thats shows that itsnt so easy as you want to make it shows.

So if you made an account on Barbados, you will win easily the domestic league, but you will still mass amount of money to be competitive to BBB. I really have hard time to find any advantage BBB wise.

Maybe the problem after all, is that on the large leagues small teams have really hard time to advance divisions and win it all, rather the small countries. Maybe something must change there. Hellas for example, have the same champion from the history. The same goes to Canada too. I bet that same goes to several countries too. I think that is much more important couz here we are not talking for 0.3% of the community. We are talking about the majority. How you will convince me to stay if i know that will never get any trophy until several teams decide to retire?

Isnt bigger issue that for you than BBB?

As i said again the game has many holes, but this one its not one of them or at least one of the priorities.

Edit: Dont punish me for my bad luck that i was born in a small country...

But if I move to one of this small countries and apply for a BuzzerBeater team, you can be sure that I would be very competitive in 3 seasons or less depending on the time I want to spend. I´m talking about me, but the same for Leyendinha or AlexRepetti. If one of them goes to live to Barbados, you can say goodbye to the B3 in a few seasons.

You are joking right? Or do you really believe this?

Even if you make an extra 250k/week in those countries compared to the top teams, this is around 3,5M per year. So in 3 seasons your team earned 10,5M more than the best teams. You can never build a B3 topteam with just 10,5M extra revenue, you can barely buy 1,5 decent player for that amount of cash.

How you will convince me to stay if i know that will never get any trophy until several teams decide to retire?

Welcome to the reality of most of the teams of BB :) Let me tell you growing as a team among equals, reaching the chance to play against the best is funny enough.

If there are 3,500 teams in one country and only 2% are smart enough to guide a team to success in the BBB, while another country has 40 teams and 50% are have similar saavy, the larger country will still have 350% more teams smart enough to win the BBB.

It is unfair since the season 3 I'm playing buzzerbeater, and only 2 have been able to achieve promotion, and have an income of 240k is not fair that a person with greater inexperience achieve greater reward, and therefore I can not access the level players because these teams have greater buying economically.

The issue is that there is no easy solution to this problem though; if you reduce the incomes teams in small countries can make too much (and remember they are already somewhat reduced from TV contracts etc), you make it impossible for small countries to ever compete against big countries. What is more unfair:

1)A Barbados team makes it to Div I in only 3 seasons and now makes almost as much as a Div I USA team, while good american managers need to spend 5-6 (probably more) seasons to go from div V to div I.

2)A Barbados team makes it to Div I but he can still only make 500k a week because his country is small. An american team makes it to Div I and now he can make 800k/week (we're just going to assume they can both avoid relegation forever, even though the bigger countries face stronger competition for those top division spots.) That Barbados team will be at a 300k/week disadvantage forever, simply because his country was small. So even though he may have become the best team in his small country (without a lot of work), he can never compete with the best teams from the big countries (no matter how much he works).

I totally understand your position, but I think these are both equally unfair situations and I'm not sure how you can solve them both at the same time.

Well tactics is a really big part of the game. Money its not everything. Before i got my championship that team: (117369)
had all the previous. He had larger arena than mine, more money, better players. Still i have won, even if was 3rd on my division and played all my games on the PO awayThat means that i did something better than him isnt? i was the better manager with smaller budget, or maybe i was lucky...

. Last season an other team won the championship, and this season we will have 3rd team that will win the tournament. For me that its much more healthy that the dynasties that many countries have. So if you want to fix anything fix that.

Why you want to hold me back? i had the ''bad luck'' to be born on a small country, its not my fault. That means that i am not smart enough to compete on BBB?

The fact is that the big countries have more income that the small ones. So the advantage that actually small countries have is that can have faster domestic success. NOTHING else.

Come in Cyprus, i will help you with the job, find house, and we have beautiful women, great weather, anything that you can ask and you will be able to built your dynasty IF you can...

Of course it's not anyone's fault. Nobody doubts you are smart enough to whatever. It is not about you. The point is that me, along with 10,000 other users, could be smarter than you, and check out who can play what and the possibilities to measure my team with world level ones.

With domestic success you might refer to better players, games shapes, enthusiasm and success in a short period of time without great effort (let's say, all the difficulties of BB). Altogether, you will beat any other team of a macro community who has more and better competition, IF you were to be equally skilled.
