Then you have gameshape, stamina, experience, all very important details that you need to take into account so your players can compete in the B3 and league. For example Thioffy's players are all in mediocre or average shape, as a league winner he's gonna get his ass kicked in the B3 like that. I think our league is fairly easy to win and quite uncompetitive. First the teams in this league need to realize proper ways to build their teams.

We cannot have teams like Sandy, who have 2 top players with 100k+ salary and the rest of the team is below 60k salary.

It affects negatively league salary floor because it's lower, and TV contract which is also lower. Honestly I have never felt a bigger desire to win the league than to train players. I may try to challenge in the upcoming seasons just for fun. But it would be nice if teams 'revolutionized' their way of thinking and building, and looked at top leagues like Finland where teams salaries average is around 1M. Or we are going to stay like this.

Teams like Baseline, Pythons, CrowZero, Phoenix Suns, Fnidek Superstars should not even be allowed in I. in first place. Just take a look at their salaries and players, some of them are also not paying salary floor so they are going to be farming 300k or 400k weekly. These teams affect our salary floor and TV contract VERY negatively.


Probably best solution would be to merge nations of africa, nations of asia, nations of america ...

As it is right now it's just sad to even try to compete..

Hello, I don't speak much English. Google translator helps me.

This week my grace period ends. Therefore, I must sign players to reach the minimum salary.

I think for my first 24 weeks I've done pretty well.

I have developed my arena and facilities and I am one of the teams with the best Attendance.

This week +700K, next week with the minimum salary I hope to have +200k per week.

I have a historic potential player from my country that I want to train at the highest level.

Good luck to everyone and it is very interesting to read veteran players.

Hey. I'm in semi rebuild mode. This won't last too long.
And just for information, my payroll is higher than yours.
It's even the 5th highest in the league. :D

It was not a dig at you, but you just proved my point, it's unthinkable in a top league where great B3 teams come from, to have salary like yours and to dominate I. league or still be competitive. With a team like yours in most competitive nations you can't even make it out of the relegation zones, it just shows the level of our league...

As for me, I am not competing yet, maybe next season if I see what I like, this season is to try to draft something

Im actually surprised that one team’s low salary affects tv rights for the whole league. Quite interesting

Of course, that's why we need to find a way to increase it if we really want our champions to reach somewhere in B3.

Ideally we could plan as a league, a few seasons ahead, a rebuild for most teams, and to get most teams ready to be competitive. But having newly registered teams is very damaging to our league, these are teams that are either not paying salary floor and making enormous amounts of money or teams that automatically achieved promotion because of a lack of competition in D.II.


I repeat, we need to either consolidate leagues, or another solution, as it stands right now it does not make sense or even gives me enough excitement to try to compete for trophies.

I understand that makes sense. We’d probably have to come up with a plan ourselves lol i doubt bb will change something anytime soon as it stands

I think one of the reasons is that we don't develop enough high potential homegrown players (MVP/HOF). A local player selected for the NT brings in a lot of merchandising (between 15 and 20% of his salary). It seems that there has been a recent change for foreign players also in their NT and that the return on merchandising is now almost equivalent.


Here's an example:
My PG Victor Laurent, selected for the French NT and one of the league's top 10 passers, generates $74,000 in jersey sales.

That’s amazingly high. Harder to get these type of players as well
