Welsh will finish 1 to 8 while scotts will finish 9 to 16 and get and overall better draft.

Teams aren't going to sacrifice their whole season for the NT. Even if the occasional team does it they can't all do it every season. Even if some actually do that then at least they have something to play for. At the moment it is just boring for them with nothing to do and little sense of achievement besides losing every B3 game by 50.

I think the issues this creates are a lot less severe than the current situation. Most nations are fine but there are a few obvious groupings that would improve the experience for their managers.

Africa
South Africa
Ghana
Nigeria
Senegal
Al Maghrib
Al Jazair
Misr
Tounes

Britain
England
Wales
Scotland
Ireland

Carribean
Barbados
Bahamas
Rep Dominicia
Jamacia
Puerto Rico

Central America
Guatemala
Panama
Costa Rica

That is just a start. North Asia, Central Asia, South East Asia, Middle East, whatever you call the area of the former Soviet Republics etc.

The great thing about this is you could actually add more countries like Mongolia, Syria, Sri Lankha, Laos etc, but just have them as part of the regional groups for their league competitions..

Well it would have to happen in an offseason and be given at least half a season's notice. But for most nations with a dozen or so real players it isn't such an issue as very few are proper division I teams and most are like a beginning team with 1 or 2 expensive players.

I think it is an excellent idea to merge leagues with regional groupings. It would add a competitive flavour as the individual countries compete. Scotland-England, India-Pakistan and so on would be great subplots.

Hey B.B. King, can't wait to hear what you have to say on this, after our last little exchange ;)

Hey.
I don't know what You want to hear ;-)

I recently won my Div I title & my money jumped for attendance hugely, merchandise to come, so there are big advantages to be had there.

So I see You finally noticed that advantage of playing in small country is huge and it makes that practically game is too easy ;-) And I'm happy that You stoped to think about adding next advantages for small countries ;-)

Maybe bots in small countries should be stronger ;-) It will be funny if alive manager with many titles loses games against bots ;-) Yep, it's my idea ;-)

LOL. I wouldn't say too easy, but yeah easier than I thought.

Sadly for me, it's impossible to differenciate league and NT. If not, there will be collusion to get better draft pick than the other nation.

Welsh will finish 1 to 8 while scotts will finish 9 to 16 and get and overall better draft.

i don't think this would have such a big impact, because
a) a high draft pick doesn't necessarily mean a great trainee
b) those small NT would suck anyway

the real major drawback is the manipulation of existing leagues, especially forcing teams to be relegated in a lower league



anyway it's nice to see that after many years someone accepted the idea that there's a problem with the small nations
maybe it wasn't only a fantasy of the usual italian crybabies
