Alright I got you, so the draft picks from the overall record of both leagues not only the conference league.

I'm curious if Cardiff picked all those players with pot 4 and if he didn't pick any players with pot 5, because if he did indeed pick 5/5 players and he got superstar instead then that would be weird as first pick

Fair enough, I think I have cleared most of my doubts here. I just checked all the drafted players and in the league only 1 of those players had a bigger potential than superstar, maybe luck, maybe the draftees were out of balance, maybe the users didn't pick their players well.

I second your suggestion completely, I myself have not invested into draft maybe since 2018 and know many users who are simply oblivious to the draft. With the merchandise boost from homegrown players it should be more appealing right now but few players do indeed invest into draft. If you manage to implement a better scouting strategy it would be great

Also! Just checked some bot leagues in the micronation, some of them drafted pretty good 18 year / 19 year HoF, suggestion: shouldn't these players go to the pool of leagues with active users instead of bot leagues?

As a candidate to the Moldova NT I notice that for a country with less than 10 users it would be so great if there was a way that either

a) These drafted MvP/HoF players went from bot leagues to leagues with active players
or
b) These players would be free agents or released from their teams with 10x or 20x their salary in the transfer market

Micronations suffer a lot from this issue

Completely wrong.
He mentioned specifically Micronations. Countries like Moldova, Bahamas, Pakista, Panama, Korea... That normally have less than 10 users where there's barely any drafted players or players being trained for the u21 /NT.

This would be a greaaaat improvement for any micronation country, since there's countries with 700 active users even with utopia it hardly makes a change in the overall situation of these countries u21/NT honestly and it's quite sad to see my country almost dead last in the standings because there simply is no influx of trainable players available.

Suggestion for utopia teams: Utopian teams should have the possibility to see in the draft any player nationality ONLY from Micronations!

What iVz is saying is release Superstars/MvP/HoF from the bot teams that rot in there for the market when the draft happens.

What is the point on me even playing the game? I tanked a whole season 3 victories 19 defeats and all I've got is a measly superstar... To play as a competitive team in my league? I've got no drive for that if I have no Moldovan players, thus it makes me want to go invest my time somewhere else and not in Buzzerbeater...

In MY humble opinion you didn't understand his suggestion fully because I've seen more than 20 drafted MvP+ players in the transfer list from Polska/Italy/Spain, etc
WHILE NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE MVP FROM MOLDOVA!

How can micronations aspire to even compete if there is NO PLAYER AVAILABLE for us to train for the u21/NT!?

@BB-Justin
Micronations leagues need a serious overhaul in the draft system because it's very very disheartening to have all this handicap on us, for me personally as a player affects my BB long term goals and drive to keep playing the game.

Exactly this ^

Quite the simplistic and wrong take.

Where was it stated easy access to good draft?? I didn't ask for the players to be replaced from the bot leagues to the draft I beg you to read properly before stating wrong takes on my suggestions.

"Yes, it's harder for micronations NT to compete, but I don't see why they should have the right to do so."

Maybe for BB not to lose players whose goal is not to compete but to develop players for their own country? The user Sporting Chisinau clearly stated that he has no joy in his league without the developing players part what did you not understand here.

it's harder for micronations NT to compete, but I don't see why they should have the right to do so.

Really bro? So only China, Italy and the nations with 700 users should dominate for ever in this game? As the future NT coach of Moldova I'm going to state, what a boring and unfair game that is.

I'm not asking for draft to be remade with unfair advantage for Micronations teams. What I am suggesting IS:

- Tweak certain aspects of the game to give Micronations a fighting help against the big countries.
As the game is right now it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE for any micronation to compete for the top 30/40, making the game much more static and dull. It would be highly exciting if Micronations with a good training plan for the future could aim for their NT like I do to get into the top 30/40.

Which aspects should be tweaked you ask?

Literally what I stated before - PUT the drafted Superstar/MvP/HoF/All Time Great 18/19 year olds FROM the bot teams into the TRANSFER LIST

I'm not saying and never said these players should be given for free to micronation teams, that would also be boring and unfair.

What I'm saying is instead as happens with free agents and retired players, future ESSENTIAL micronations players should not rot in the bot teams. With this tweak ANY team in the game could buy an interesting TRAINABLE player, which means ANY team could buy the drafted player from the micronations thus IMPROVING and helping the future of that micronation u21/NT.

Tell me do you think it makes sense for micronations managers to watch the transfer list with 30 MvP's from China or Usa for example!? While not even a single one from Moldova!?

SECOND TWEAK (suggestion from Sporting which I haven't thought of it before)

Let Utopian teams have the option like spend 10 points and discover which players come from micronations specifically. The draft and transfer market is flooded with players from the big nations while micronations would be lucky to even make a proper top 70 NT in 10 seasons (3 year real time lol)
IT IS NOT FAIR that Micronations have so many handicaps developing their players. It's nations with 700 users vs nations with 10 users.

These suggestions would simply be helping hands to micronations and would keep the game FAIR, ENTERTAINING and above all FUN.
