As you talk about France NT, I feel obligated to say a word, as I am very implicated in its development. I know that you don't focus specifically on France, you just gave some examples to add arguments to your ideas.

I can assure you there is no illegal farms for France NT. We have some farms, that's true, I don't deny it, but they are all legal. Some managers don't care to be competitive, their only pleasure is to train and to make their players reaching the NT.

There are different ways of playing this game. You can have different objectives according to your motivation, free time...etc... Some people want to win B3, some just care about training ...etc... For example, personnally, I spend a lot of time on BB but I really don't care about my personal teams. All I care is training and developing the NT.

I agree that farming became an important point for NTs. Even if you use some terms that seems exagerated (massive issues, predominance of farming...etc...)

But I don't agree about D1 teams. As the market is open, everybody can buy farmed players to post-trained them how they want. I really think that it helps the game to be more competitive at top-level.

Everybody is free to do what he wants. That's an important positive point of this game: you can have pleasure with different way of playing, each manager can find his own way. Some people regularly contact me because they want to start building a HoF young guy. That's the way they want to play the game, and I guess we have to respect it.

Max pot. of draft
DI unlimited
DII HoF
DIII MVP
DIV superstar
DV perrenail allstar

SKill cap/training cap by division
DI unlimited
DII L6 speed, individual skill cap at 19, total skill cap HoF
DIII L5 speed, 18, MVP
DIV L5 speed, 17, Superstar
DV L4 speed, 16, perrennial allstar

Also instead of by WR based limit on salary of player you can bid on (which isn't working in any way really)

By division
DI unlimited
DII Can only bid on players up to HoF potential
DIII MVP potential and below
DIV superstar potential and below
DV perrenial allstar potential and below

So, i'm in D4, can't draft any good prospect, can't train youngs the best i could, can't hire any player i want.
Few seasons ago, i drafted a Hof, i was happy to train him quite well, and i finally sold him to begin a new training cycle. Now i know that, as soon as my trainees get good, i have money to hire and to be performant.

With what you propose, this couldn't be possible (training players, sell trainees for good money), so i would stay in D4 forever.
I understand your point of view as you're in the highest level, and you want to cut the ladder for newcomers...

What you deplore is also existing in every sport championship. Some small teams training potentials, and from time to time selling them to best ones for good money. And sometimes, those very same teams are getting good enough to play the top of the tournaments. Let's keep this game offering this possibility as well !

Who are the "you" that you refer to in your post? It's not like Perpete or any other GM has anything to say on behalf of what happens to the teams players. They only have the power to stop the managers that are doing something wrong. You will need to address Marin if you want to find the one sitting on power to change anything around this. Is this something we really feel Marin should be prioritizing though? There are a lot of other things could see had higher prio then this.

Okay, then ... marin,

(1) please start crushing cheaters,
(2) make examples of them so everyone knows cheating will get you crushed, and
(3)remove the cheat players from the game if they are still on the cheating team, don't send them to the FA list.

As for the priority this shouild receive, well, I would say give it the same priority as anything else that is life and death to the game. Cheating will kill the game, if it isn't already, and publicly crushing cheaters may revive it.

BTW, crushing the cheaters should include never letting BB be played from that same computer again. Making a new account will do the cheater no good in that case.

Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters, sir.

I'll just add this here... Because I can

Sorry for the delay, but:
(1) we've started long ago
(2) not our kind of thing, the process needs to be confidential to protect the innocent
(3) considering this, actually

You're welcome.
