It's not just being a local player that gets you cash. It's also the quality of the player, whether or not you drafted him, and whether or not he is on a national team. So a drafted player who is the star of the NT and leading your league in scoring, rebounding, and assists would probably bring in the most dough in merch, while a BB developer from a country on the far side of the world who plays 3 minutes a week in a scrimmage would probably bring in the least.

The real problem is that playing in countries like Japan and Nigeria is boring. Those nations never erupts as users, because we know that there is a team that kills the championship.

You can say everything, but there's a cycle that makes them, if not broken monopolies in their country.

Simplified:

Do you have a roster that no one can afford, then you win practically forever, so you can fill huge stadiums (they have pocketed almost certain in cup and BBB), and have the money to keep a roster that no opponent can get!

This is my vision of the reality and I think the BB will fix it otherwise the game will not grow anymore.

IMHO

I agree with you. I think that when a team wins BB3( SuperFly from Japan, BC Tooros from Canada) I think they should not be allowed to win the cup anymore. It has been 4 seasons since Japan has had two teams in the BB3. If past winners have an automatic birth in the BB3, I don't see the need for them to be allowed to win the double again( league OK, CUP NO). Why not share the wealth/ fun.I know that I would watch the BB3 on Wednesday night if there were two teams from Japan in it.Just my opinion. Peace

Nicely put. I even gave you 5 balls for your reply. I am trying my hardest but a season 7 team going up against a season 3 team..That is like mission impossible. I do give BC Toroos a lot of respect for letting his fellow countrymen battle it out in the cup for a shot at the big time. Even with the loss in income...My new manager of the year...Peace

I will give him respect no matter what because of all the B3 wins behind him. But I personally would like to see him try to win the final on Thursday.

I like what Toroos is doing too. He is giving the chance to an other team to participate to BBB. I wish more dynasties like him to follow his example...

If you are better, eventually you would make it.

You started at season 7 but you started playing in first division, so you had to pay a roster like a V Div Team of Spain or a IV Div Team of Chile while having the incomes of a premium league.

You can manage to have a really violent development curve that Sharman can not afford to. He can't have a much more expensive roster than the one he actually owns. Yes, he has space for devolpment but is limited.

Since there is a cap at the income, teams will eventually balance each other. We can called it a steady growth position were "the amount of talent a team is losing every season is balanced with the amount of talent he es gaining".

Sharman will reach that point but you will continue to improve. And you will improve really fast(like you have been) for the reasons already explained in this thread reagarding small communities/big communities.

What someone like BC Tooro is doing is trying to make that "adjusting time" more fun for others team (having the possibilitie to win the cup and participate on B3 while catching the local giant) and making that adjusting time a little bit faster for some teams.

I think our belief is that preventing a past B3 winner from Japan from winning the Japanese cup is more your job than ours.

Personally I think it is a problem of the BB to read this. In a nation where a user can easily win the championship, won the cup and he can easily reach the purpose of the BBB, has the receipts that put it above everything else!
If you are a problem we will never see an exciting championship Japanese and we'll never see a V series in Japan.
I believe that the economic problem is clear, it's up to you to decide whether or not to fix.

Please explain to me your point of view!

I believe they just did.

Surely there will be. Maybe not today, but it won't take forever either. Norway, for instance, has a turning of the power balance right now. The traditionally strongest team are beeing challenged and beaten by several younger teams. The salaries rise rapidly, but since there still are teams that have low salaries in the bottom spots the tv income and merchandise are limited also for the teams with 500-600k salaries. It is not so impossible to beat the reigning team as many are led to believe. It just takes a little patience and smart/lucky choices. Also, the game has not reached equilibrium yet. Wait and see. It will even out.
