I read this thread, if there are similar thread maybe I didn't read them.

There would be a good chance.. OK, I just said once that there could be more farms. Quick example, Croatian managers train Bosnian players with their second clubs, Bosnian teams train Croatian players with their second clubs, we just make a deal, that is OK? .. There is too much ways to manipulate, that's my point. Maybe someone agree with me, someone not, but it's a fact.

Regards

This is where we hold them!

I like the 2nd team idea but I think there are too many ways to manipulate things and cheat.

Perhaps a way to fix that, if it hasn't been mentioned already, is to create a "Supporter (Super) League". The number of supporters would decide how many divisions. Every supporter has a 2nd team, and they have the choice to manage it or not (keeping up numbers).

This could be a Super League because it might be more active and more difficult to head up to higher levels.

I should one day play in my league in Bosnia with people from Mexiko, Island, Camerun, Hong Kong, Norway, Brasil... no thanks. That's not fun to me, can't imagine that.


One of the argument for a second team is that's probably not fun to be two in Malta or Pakistan. Bosnia is safe with 329 managers.


What instead closing micronations? While they add "color" to the game, it is clear that there is no development at all, there. I remember when I coached Ghana U21 for 4 seasons, and it came out that the 5 active teams there were managed by a single egyptian user using an internet proxy.

I agree on everything that King Leonidas says; farms, planned exchanges, lose of coherence in the lower league forums. And I would add:
- Supporters will have the chance to test on real matches all the tactics and trainings that at the moment nobody will do to not risk losing matches. This is an advantage on the game, contrary to the BB rules: "Supporters shouldn't have any advantage"
- Supporters already have they "second team": it's the private leagues, where you can play a second tournament, parallel to the main one, without any impact on the daily team life.

No, really, please drop this idea. One man, one team.

If this were implemented to the game, I only got one question:

What happens when your supporter runs out? Does like your team get locked or something? It would involve a lot of checking by the GMs and BBs about that.

Other then that I like the suggestion. I'd probably want to use my first paycheck on a BB supporter, and then get the 2nd BB Team.

I always dreamed of having another team balling in Jamaica

That's actually a really good point. Just swayed my opinion, that's for sure. While I actually pay for the game, I like the idea that if I want to play for free, I won't be disadvantaged. I see loads and loads more games that have these little, "buy this and you'll get an advantage over your friends!" That, in every case, makes me drop the game immediately or never start it.

Is that all you read in my post? As I see yes. Instead of 2nd club you should get some manners, forum is not a place to talk like that.

And in your post I didn't find a reason to have 2 clubs at the same time.
The game just need some marketing - more active users, that's all, you see the solution to allow something that's forbidden, and I don't see it on that way.

I have so many reasons again that, your argument is just bored, the game is creeping or etc? Come on..


You're kidding right? You make an egotistical comment and take an unprovoked shot at me for some unknown reason and I'm the one that needs manners? It must be nice to live if your world.

Your point is noted and I don't expect everyone to agree but next time read my post clearly instead of making assumptions about my motives. Good day.

Don't see a whole lot of difference between that and private league games.
One can always set up a private league to simulate regular games and test whatever they damn well please.
If that's an advantage then its already legal and being exploited as we speak

Yes, but then we give users who pay another advantage. Shouldn't we stop at one? "Oh, I punched her in the face and it was wrong. But, because I punched her once, I'm going to punch her again."

"Oh, I punched her in the face and it was wrong. But, because I punched her once, I'm going to punch her again."

Do you have to pay for the second one there too?

I mean, you could have used how many different examples and you picked that?

Anyway, it's been suggested. It's up to BBs now. Maybe we'll have a poll by them in the near future.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.
