Yer I think its a novel idea.

maybe they could modify the draft such that a certain % of players are from random overseas countries.

So 48 draftee's, and lets say, 12 of them are from randomly generated overseas countries.


This would actually make some of the minor nations more competitive AND make lesser potential players more attractive to draft.
Let say you drafted a star potential player from your own country you would generally fire him. Star potential player from Barbados though - U21 team here we come!
The result would be more
- more interest in lesser potential players
- more players being trained for the micro-nations
- more interest in the draft because of the above item. (which in turn, results in less whinging and people suggesting alternatives to the draft in the forums! Bonus!)

So i think this is a good idea and has some actually really good benefits to the game in it.

Exactly, you put it in a very good structure.

I love your inputs on it. I will try to talk to the BB's, and try to make it happen in season 30!

Thanks,

no worries!

they monitor the suggestions forums, so you don't have to speak to them directly.

The only thing about this suggestion is that I think in the Draft and Scouting page, there should be a little notification to say whether or not the draftee is from overseas or local. Perhaps this is something that should be revealed after spending 1 scouting point on the draftee
(ie: Either a single scout, scouting combine or group demo).

I have another IDEA,

I am in america, but i am a Kenya native.

So, my idea is : Every single country in the world should have players. Even if there aren't any managers from the country.

Coach Regan, pick it up from there if you feel a flare on that.

Thanks,

haha

a flare? lol....

there are 99 countries in Buzzerbeater at the moment. In order for them to have players from countries that aren't active, they would need to create 'inactive' leagues which don't have any human-players in it.

and whilst it would be nice, it means there would not be an U21 or national team for these countries. Can't have an u21 national team for a country that doesn't have any human-managers in it!

So, there could be some problems with that. Maybe you just need to convince some of your friends or family back home to create a BuzzerBeater account? Then there would be some Kenyans! :)

I don't expect to see it ever. I personally would hate to be spending scouting points on a great draftee and then see he is from China, Chile or some random African country. People mainly draft because they want good young players to train up for their own country. A lot of people also pride themselves on trying to make U21 NT players and NT players from people they draft, this is ruined if other nations become a part of other people's draft. 99% of people would rather draft an American than a player for Ghana if they are an USA manager. I guess you fall into that 1% that doesn't but it simply doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

I think its more than 1%

people want to be U21 managers of other countries.
People buy players because they are members of another countries U21/National team.
People often buy good trainee's from other countries

So its not that much of a stretch for people to want to draft for internationals.

id do it. THATS TWO AGAINST ONE!

LOL
