I agree with capping Utopian starting roster. Original players for Utopia should have potential no greater than all-star. This keeps a team from generating early advantage from selling off a high potential player.

I do not agree with making the draft worthless. To get a high pick in the draft requires having low income generation from lower ticket sales and not advancing up divisions. Its not that profitable to make money off the draft as it is to win the league and advance divisions plus a HOF type player may not be in the draft or you may not find him.

I don't think having mirror players makes much sense the randomized is probably sufficient.

Anyway I think capping Utopian starting rosters makes huge sense anyway.

According to the BBs, a poll should be organized after the 20th to chose a name for the "Utopia" league. That poll should be reserved to those who signed up for their second team before that date.

So how soon before the "I would buy a second team if I could help decide the country name but I'm not going to buy into it before I know what the name is, so BB is unfair" posts?

Thank You

Please explain - it may help others too.

I signed up for 2nd team and charge shows on credit card - good.
However, I see nothing from BB to confirm I am on the list for 'Utopia' / 2nd team. How can we confirm BB has a user registered for 2nd team.

Thanks.

You can see the date on the Supporter page which shows until when the second team option is valid. It's in the topmost box there, under the "extend my Supporter" button, like so: "Second Team Option valid until 3/31/2015."

Marin realizes the idea, but i asked personally to him and to Nickleon:

it's now possible to buy 2nd team for 4 years with draftstreet option.

explain :D

i already used the draftstreet option to extend my supporter for 1 year...

As this discussion here is pretty meaningless, i would like to Point to a very interesting post by grullo

here goes my two cents

first of all, every original player in any utopia team ever should have allstar with * as potential, like players "born" before potential exists

i probably delete draft from utopia, at least, the potential in players here, so this avoid the tanking teams to get a first round HOF player, if you need players, draft them, but without potential

all the teams should be created with the same players, not mirror players but yes more or less, one could have two 7level skills in JS and JR and other team have them in PS and OD (this also means that every league in first season will have the same TV reward and the same salary floor)

i strongly think that the only hope to have a success life for utopia league is that everybody has the same chances to be top high

in less seriously way, i also ask to quit LI from tactics to use in utopia matches, in fact, i will only allow Isolations, patient, Push ball and movement, perhaps LP


pd.-> i wont pay for it, but if i get 90 more points with ads, i will sure be in utopia to delight my fans!!!

1. I don´t like the idea of separated potential for Utopia Players. This would only make sense, if you divide Utopia completely from the other bb world.

2. I don´t like the idea of no draft for Utopia - i think there should be a Little bit of a randomness for every Team, new circumstances and every Manager has to or will deal a bit differently with them - that´s part of the fun of a Manager game.

3. I do like the idea of same tv and Merchandising Revenue for the first season of Utopia. But only for the first, since afterwards everyone had the same starting Point and then it´s just a bit of luck which one has to have.....

4. I do like the idea of similar Players at the starting Point. As the bb always said it should be the most competitive league in bb, that would add a lot to the fun of the game. Maybe it could be worthy, to think about, that each Team will get the same amount of Players regarding potential and Age (both is very important as it´s a huge difference if you have an 18yo hall of famer or an 35 year old one) and maybe also experience. These Players could differ regardind their skills, but not regarding the sum of all skills. so for example there should be a Maximum of skills of 600 skill Points for each Team (haven´t calculated These, just for example) and they could vary for each Player, maybe it would be fun, if each Team had a really good Player (e.g. with 80 skill Points), a good one (e.g. with 70 skill Points) and so on.

5. I have serious concern regarding the Prices for Trainers/Managers. maybe every Team should be given an Trainer Level 4 or there should be a real flood of new Trainers.



So, what do you think about it?
