Completly agreed....
No offence but does anybody see anyone other complaining other than Spain and Italia???No Poland(3 biggest) etc. Even i'm from 7 biggest country in users and i don't complain. Like it's been mentioned 100 times that BB is long term game and extra 50k is not got really help in long run if you don't plan correctly...
The B3 thing is most ridicoulus one,its important for very very little amount of teams...

Also, what has not been discussed in this thread is the rising salaries and their benefits on large countries (I saw someone say that rising salaries hurt large countries, but I think that person was thinking about this the wrong way).

Large countries have a much bigger pool of domestic talent with high salaries. It means that they can more easily afford them because they get higher merchandising revenues.

Recently I have been searching for a high level Canadian player to add to my team. I think there are maybe 10 players out there who I would be interested in. However, because the talent pool is so dry, of course all the managers want to keep their players. And I would not say that Canada is a small country by any stretch of the imagination.

I see fabulous Italian players on the transfer list all the time. There are probably even more spectacular ones who never see the transfer wire.

Just because you cannot see the advantages to being in a big country does not mean that none exist.

Well if that complain was coming from the BBB teams, i could accept it as a valid argument. Coming from you? Why?
Make Cyprus or the other small communities having less income you dont increase the competition. You just make smaller countries to have lower quality. Compared to the worse team in my league i will still be the better team, and the gasp will stay the same. I will just only have less quality players as him. The only way to raise the competition on the small countries is to become bigger. If you have a solution on that i will be happy to listen. You will make happy several people, starting from the BB's. It will means more profit for them.

Our only advantage is on BBB, that we can store more enthusiasm.( It can be solved very easily, playing those games on arcade mode). But again a team in CBBA has much less round to go on the tournament and that means less income compared to Greek team for example. Considering that larger countries have significant more merchandise profit/TV contract, then really you dont have really reason to complain.

but it is the part where it becomes important ;) I also don't see the market impact of the few team in the real small countrys, the big country low diviision have more user and lot more impact on prices there.

Maybe for you but not 3-4 league teams lmao

at least in my case i battle most times with third or four league teams of other countrys on the TL ;)

Yes,you shouldnt forget spains 5 leagues :DD
And i was talking about teams that are in 3 league and talk about b3 issue

Small country is not equal to bad managers. But again that is not your problem. Is ours. Personally i am working really hard to improve my community. As i am sure that is happening to the other small communities. Again no affect on you.

Also we have same conditions on the market. CBBA has the same (and less) financial power as the Italian 1st division teams. The same goes to the lower divisions.

I am telling you again that if you have a legal way to make Cyprus community and make the competition for us higher (help the community to grow) i will be real happy to listen if not, you have no argument at all. In my eyes is pure complains for the hard competition that you face, but again thats not small countries problem.

I see my last post did not universally get 5 balls... Just so there is no confusion, go on the transfer list and search for the following:

-Canadian players with $30,000+ salary
-Italian players with $30,000+ salary

I know salary is not always a good measure of a player (those two Canadians on the transfer list are not ones I would buy) but I think you can get the idea.

Watching the boxscore between ESV Laim and djembe made me think a lot... I saw there was a really huge skill on the preparation for that match, really an impressive tactic from the small country team''

And the award to the best rookie in a small country team goes to: ''JohnnyB ¡¡¡¡'''

Small country is not equal to bad managers.

My congratulations.


Leaving the comedy aside, im going to try to comment something.

What comes to my mind is that the BB's(the goverment) have to make new economic changes, they cant let the community alone, they have to supervise and act when they think its going out of control... (Im sorry for my english but im not finding others words). What im trying to say is that the BB they should try to make changes to control the economy to an equal level more or less.

I mean i've seen the BB's hand on the transfer market to change the rising dinamic of it, for example the free agent comeback was in my opinion a good economic decision.

After reading Charles posts i can assume this: We are not going to chance the economy etc.

So the BB's use their invisible hand to control the market, but they dont use their invisible hand to make the things more balanced between small and big countrys?

I mean if you BB's pretend to dont touch the incomes of the small and big countrys, then dont touch also the transfer list market when this its going crazy, let them free, but acting in both directions its not the best solution, if you wanna change the direction of the economy do it in all the ways and if you think its better dont touch anything then dont touch the transfer list when this is rising.

After all this posts the JK solution was the best by far that I have read

So this is a funny post, the ones who complain:

-That BB's should act as the invisible hand to balance the unbalance between the small and big countrys incomes

And the others who defend: hey let the BB free of taxes or new economic changes, but after they accept the changes on the transfer list and thats a bit ironic
