I voted yes.

However, maybe some people ONLY want to play against people from their own country. Example: Team with 10 teams, all of a sudden it is 15 teams and 5 teams are foreign.

I would be OK with all the 2nd teams being grouped into the "Utopia" country. This was suggested by someone before. Then every one can play against every one else in this league with your 2nd team and the cream will really have to rise to the top. However, then there is the issue of how everyone starts out (div I,II,III etc...)



This is a big yes for me too. I think a "supporter" country should be created where all the second teams reside.

We also need to add a third game a week. Also a second round of PL games per week. It's ridiculous that there are more "off days" than "game days". The goal should be to drive traffic to the site each day. After two or three days of not logging in, it no longer becomes a habit for people. I have never understood the reason for so few games. Give the people more action and they will stick with the game more. It's common sense.

Tuesday: League game
Thursday: Scrimmage/Cup game
Friday: PL game
Saturday: League Game

The longest gap between games is 2 days (Saturday-Tuesday) and Thursday, Friday, Saturday is usually stacked. Along with NT and U21 NT games on monday, there is plenty of action. There is a game happening every single day except Wednesday and Sunday but I still think there is a ton to do on the site even on those days.

Nobody cares about scrimmages. So only 2 days during cup. I would do away with Scrimmages altogether and keep Thursday as the third game day. Move Cup games to Sunday or Monday while you are still in it. Treat them like PL games where injuries and enthusiasm are isolated.

Maybe that isn't BBs fault then. I look at scrimmages and think about trying fun new tactics that I've never used, or look to see how my younger and new trainees can produce stat wise. It is also very important for my team to use the scrimmages and cup gams to manage out my teams minutes. If you do not care about scrimmages, you aren't making the most of your resources I don't think. I love that cup games are dragged out so far into the season as well because it allows me to manage enthusiasm better and be more successful in our league (I CTd for 5 of my wins last season if you don't remember). It is also very easy to get involved with the NT or U21 NT and then those games are also very entertaining to follow. I don't think anything really needs to be changed. I log on everyday as well as nearly everyone in our league and many other leagues.

I agree with this, but you have to be careful about another thing.

4. You can never, ever transfer players between the 2 teams. For obvious reasons. You can't book scrimmages with your 2nd team either. These 2 teams are on virtual islands from each other.

This is all fine and dandy, but there is still a possibility of legal cheating.

Say your first team is training guards and second team is training inside players. When your first team is done with guards, you'd want players from your 2nd team join them because they are trained the way you want it. However, it is forbidden to transfer players between the 2 teams...

So you just set a default lineup and training that benefits your trainees and don't log into your 2nd team for 6 weeks. The team goes bot, players go to TL and you can buy them with the first team.

One of the solutions is to not allow any players from 2nd teams hit the TL after they've been retired.

A big NO from me for this suggestion. It would just ruined the game and give users too many options for cheating. I vote 0/10

This is where we hold them!

I don't see how it increases cheating. Right now users can choose to play the game straight up or cheat. You get caught cheating and you get banned. Pretty simple only sometimes these cheaters fly under the radar for awhile before they are caught.

With 2 teams per user there will be a couple of new rules added to the mix that will also carry bans with them if broken, only now it will be 10 times easier to spot those cheating because everyone knows which 2 teams any particular user owns. It will be public knowledge. Plus if you get banned in this instance you also lose the supporter $$$ you've invested.

It would be pretty simple to add one line to each team/owner page linking the 2nd team run by that owner.

I honestly think that cheating is the least of the problems with this suggestion.
