have a team in the league with a few users as Ghana or Barbados where winning is easy and raccimolare money is even more?
...but how much fun is it to be the only team dominating a country without opposition. If you truly find pleasure in that it is just sad.

Most of us thirst for competition because the fun of beating a team is none if it is practically a walkover. But if you win after struggling with a rival for season after season and finally beats him it is sweet relief. And it doesn't end there. Your rival wants revenge, and you have to prepare to defend your honor at your next meeting, and all the trash talk and forum conversation around it spices up the BB experience to become a master chef worthy and a match worth to see. As many have said before, it does not matter how much money you have as long as you manage them better than your opposition (which mostly consist of equal teams in the same league with the same prerequisites as yourself). And don't underestimate the joy of having a lively community. It's what make the game fun. How many teams and how often does these teams get to play in B3 games? Hardly enough to make their team evolve around it.

Which particular part of the problem do you expect to get fixed?

Teams with high income and crappy players will always be in better position to spend on the transfer market -- that's not anything that's going to change, so don't hold your breath.



really? didn't you write this about... 2 posts before?

Rinse, repeat. Problem solved.


i never held my breath, of course
there's a reason italians don't write in global as much as before, and it's answers like yours

i rarely try to buy players, because it's a really frustrating experience


I did not do the exact sum, but your salaries look to be in the $200+ neighbourhood. To me, that's at least in the "comfortable mid-sized sedan" category, if not higher. Sorry if we have a different view on things.


yes, but i didn't buy all those players
half of my starting team is made of draftees i trained, or players i bought after selling a trained draftee of similar salary
if you check my transfer history you'll see there are periods of about 6 months without any purchase

not that this kills me... it was just my contribution to the discussion as a III player

Just to put more on you, my team have already 1 championship and one cup, with my salaries being only 183k. So most probably our Italian friend had better or equal team to mine.


i also started in season 2

oh, btw... i don't think there's a "better solution" to the problem
it's probably a structural flaw of the multipyramidal system, and i learnt to accept it

otherwise i wouldn't have renewed my supporter until february 2011

Well the problem are not the small countries rather than the tough competition that you face. One proposal is to split the large countries in 2 pieces. Maybe that way your big ego will get some satisfaction.

Still you cant convince me that we are the problem that you cant advance a division. I can understand that is really frustrating to try so hard to get so less (wining side, because you have many more benefits fun wise compared to us) but thats your problem not ours...

this aspect of the game is definitely the most challenging. However I can not find correct that a team of Spanish IV series has market power. It makes no sense that a team first division of a country with few users, such as Japan or Canada will be able to dominate easy the best Spanish or German or ItalianSpanish or German or Italian.
Wherever you are, you find major incomes where there are so many passionate people and if you try to set realistic management as a BB then it takes We consider this one.
You want a serious proposal? if the inflows to the stadiums were in the number of teams active in that country? You tell me what is the point that the only user of Ghana may potentially have a huge hall playing against bots?
Changes made on merchandising prospective were ok but very limited in scope given that 90% of the proceeds derived from the stadium!
I hope that Charles & Co seriously consider this issue and provide solutions to serious problems. (again if they see it as a problem)

Più Ban? Yes, You can

lol @ my big ego
no thanx, splitting the countries would only increase the problem

btw, i can't advance a division because i've been unlucky in playoffs games, and this frustrated me only right after the matches
i guess it's a normal reacton, and i've never complained about it so what are you talking about?

Well my only logical explanation if want to erase the 1% of the managers. Its clear that we dont have big impact on the market being so few.

If you dont have problem with your teams failure then whats exactly your problem?

And why not? Those teams don't deserve an equal chance to compete? And its that domination there at all? Last time i checked 3 out of 4 in the semi-finals of B3 this season come from the larger communities.

I sorry but I can not see the issue for the big D1 teams in the big communities. If teams in US Ger and Bra can make it to the semies and still be on top of their division it hardly makes any sense why a team from Italy or Spain can not do the same thing.

If you argue that D2 and below teams in big communities are at disadvantage I am more willing to agree. But the reason for that is not the fact that they face strong opposition twice a week. It comes from the fact that those teams are monsters of teams compared to any D2(or below) teams in medium or small countries. You see this as disadvantage for the big communities but I see it as a chance for the rest of the world catch up just a little.
