Make an OPTIONAL feature to list players as being ONLY available to your fellow countrymen

Because ?
I don't think this has any chance to happen one day. BB is using a free market.

In a free market, I have the option to sell my business to a domestic ownership or a foreign ownership. I have the choice to manufacture overseas, or locally at my own expense.

In the NBA, teams can choose to draft locally, or foreign, NiBA you don't really hear of trading with foreign teams, but that possibility is there.

Now, this idea comes to me, as I find myself frustrated. What is the point of me waking up at 5:45 am, to bid on a local player whom's bidding ends at 551... only to have a bidding war until 7AM with people in spain, france, and china....

What a colossal waste of my time. My feeling of a big problem in the transfer market is the frustration as unless you OVERPAY for players... Its very unlikely you'll get players you actually want due to the competitiveness of the "free market"

And there's no downside to this since a owner could CHOOSE this option to sell only to USA.

Then speaking for all those political people on here: It would reduce the risk of other teams buying and ruining NT/U21 players, yadda yadda blah bblah garbledly-goo

Some people will sell for POTENTIALLY less than they could have to keep a player local, yes.


Even LeBron James has a soul, and will take a paycut if it helps his team win more.

I am suggesting a little change in the design of the Overextension Tax Details frame on the Economy Overview page. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/manage/economy.aspx)
Since the Overextension is the intermediate result of a calculation, I think it should appear like on the left picture (orange background) instead of the right one.



I think this little change would avoid many misunderstanding. It would be helpful to fix it soon because this new calculation is not the easiest to understand.

Welcome to my world. I've spent multiple times this week, on a stakeout for players with good passing, only to end up in almost hr long bid wars, and eventually not getting the player (by only a couple 10k's too, last guy i was hunting lost bid war by 20k)

Suggestion: NT/U21 manager approval % resets to --% no matter who wins the election. This way, shown % will reflect what the current active community thinks of the manager now and not 2/4/6/etc seasons ago.

Unless 97 voted for Canada already, nope.
