Won´t going to the next second of playing time to the trick?

Small suggest but often when I look at a player on the TL I like to take a glance at his stats to get at least a little feel for how he performs. Adding the Division that he is in to that page might make that information a little more useful to look at.

i don't like it, i wouldn't recommend to put the stats into the account(besides fouls), and if you do you have to consider lot more then just the league level. You have to look at his teammates, the tactic played, quality of the opponent etc. And division could be quite different, even in one country but in different countrys they vary a lot.

Fouls are actually the biggest thing I tend to look at.

Yeah, but as the Swede said then is has to be counted and if you arent very good in mental arithmetics itll take loong and make it more than frustrating to watch tight ends of games.

Most B3 winners are daytraders and always have been (winning on a renta-player season).
MANY B3 winners have tanked.
Most B3 winners can train in the current system, especially while tanking.
Most B3 winners just run LI MtM
That means most B3 winners do so with money from tanking, micronation situations, grandfathered bank account and daytrading....in other words with raw fundage- not competitve league play over the long term, not players staffed for multiple seasons, not diverse tactics.

As a previous BB3 winner (many moons ago in season 10 where my opponent 'maybe' only had the one team - cleverly worded so no need to delete) the way to win did include day trading but the outcome was dependent on who had the best players.

At the time there were only a handful of great players & when one came onto the TL you had to buy (ie. UPGRADE/TRADE) or risk your rival buying and using him against you to win. So, yes, money helped but it was purely an arms race (similar to now but the money aspect & player development has just taken the current arms races to levels again where only the few can compete.

So despite the winning rosters being different in value thru the seasons, the fundamentals have remained - there has been no introduction of an equaliser that brings teams closer to competing on a similar level. The variables have been allowed to continue & so as you point out, money talks.

Now whilst I don't think that is necessarily a problem - it would be nice to have a david/goliath factor. As it stands its down to patience. Do you hoard to have a crack (whilst diminishing the competition around you & arguably the enjoyment/spirit of the game) or do you resign yourself to accepting the flaws in the system & carry on battling it out domestically rendering the BB3 meaningless under the current rules.

At the playoff-time we should get "playoff information" at the "News" page (under the "Getting started" section)
When the regular-season ends, the W-L status in not so interesting to see at the news page. Who cares that one ended the regular season with 16-6 win-lost status? You would care to read that you qualified to the Final (or failed doing so).
Exactly as it informs about ones current state at the Cup Tournament.

In my opinion this is a very minor appearance/design bug.

No, that is not what I've meant.
Currently, it displayes, for example, that you are "16-6" at your league, and that you are at the last 32 teams at your cup-tournament.

During playoff, it will be much more informative to display "You had been qualified to the quarter final" or "You had been eliminated from playoff at the Final", for example.

oh, OK, would be nice and informative for all
