well this will be amazing stereotypes but here goes

top 10 nations
spain 1 & usa 4 - loves basketball, loves computer games, rich nation & big population
turkey 5, lithuania 7 & greece 8- obsessed with basketball, medium populations
china 9 - like basketball, love computers, redic population
france 6 & italy 2 - big population, love computer games, rich, love soccer so maybe used to management type games
poland 3 - totally adore and games anytime & too cold to do anything else
brazil 10 - no idea

japan - loves computer games, rich nation, big population

seems good but someone made a great point about the types of games they like

japan is all flashing neon & fast fast fast

every 6 yo kid has a psp & an x-box

they r brought up on high end graphics & fast game play with things constantly exciting

not exactly bb

so maybe your typical japanese gamer isnt interested in management games at all, being basketball as well & not baseball or sumo makes it even worse

it may just be a bad cultural fit

Hehe, you under-estimate Turkey in size and Poland in weather ;)

dont drink and post! What you wrote here, is just a bunch of random nonsense.

Poland statement made me laugh so hard. Poland is not Siberia.

dude im from australia

when it is 15 degrees we are all rugged up & stay inside

on the tallest mountains in the middle of winter peeps are often skiing on fake snow in shorts

but i agree & i said @ the start it was probably going to be random rubbish

Here is not the best place to seriously start discussing it. True, it's a remote place of the forum. And it's english only which excludes those who don't speak english or aren't confident enough to post in english.

It should start in each national forum and eventually by bb-mail (without spamming) and when a reasonable consensus on what to do is reached, presented here. I don't see it happening any time soon :(

Well... besides the fact that the system of promotion seems to be somewhat broken (it appears as if this is even the case with larger nations) and really is in need of a fix, the reality as it is with the case of Japan is that the system of having the lower numbered leagues within division II fill first is pretty much ensuring that new guys are less likely to stay. And I think that all agree that Japan as a nation should be much, much bigger than 20-30 users.

I think big growth for Japan would be no problem if there was advertising, but the question is if the new users would stay.

We had a pretty quick jump from around 90 to more than 110 in Austria, and now we are back to even lower numbers. Most new members quit pretty soon if they realize they get slaughtered in every game. Same would apply for Japan...

I think that kind of summarize it all.

I will have a "wild" guess and say that the size of each BB-nation did not change to much.

Why? Because the uncomptitivness advnatage that the old users has over the new ones.
An advantage that is due to multiple seasons they got "bigger", and is not controled my means of salary cap and luxury cap (for example), which will make the game more competitive.

I'll write again a fact that I've found - three of the largest BB-nations (France, German and Italy) did not had a single team that joined prior of season 4 at last season (which was 17!!!).
And then people are supprised, why this community does not grow...

This game has a lot of possitive things that makes it a good one, but there is no reason to ignore the bugs and bad things this game has which just stand it its way.
