I think what makes a farm, is that the trained players are way too good for the league (they're NT players), but the team is still not trying to win games in the competition. The sole purpose is to devote all resources of the team to make a couple super players for the country's NT, not to help the team win games at a high level.

If a team has 2-3 NT players (of a decent sized country with a decent WR), it should probably be a team that's at or near the top of the country's competition (depending on the size of the country). If the team is not near the top, it's probably a farm because it has the resources to compete but doesn't. It's not logical for a manager with 1 team to not compete at that point, so the logical explanation would be that it's a farm team of a manager that has (an)other team(s) that do compete.

Note that this description excludes rebuilding teams with NT players, because those teams do compete at some point (even if it's after a long period of devoting everything to training and not competing). A lame manager won't be able to train NT players, so those are excluded as well.

And at what point does the main team benefit from multi farm teams? Buying trained players? Selling overpriced players? Is it necessary to have multi teams in the same country (and isn't it better to have them abroad?)? I really want to go inside this topic. As a former NT manager I would like to know if I am able to recognize who fooled me (if anybody). I am asking you because WW is not able to provide anything relevant, just arrogance and insults.

that's the best description of a farm team
and yes, multi-accounting in order to farm (regardless of whether you gain any financial benefits or strategic benefits) should still be considered cheating

I guess my farming question came to haunt me

apparently my playoff opponent is a "character" that calls itself a "niggerkid" and has a team named "IHateJews123"...

WOWOWOW Man - Thats impressive you are totally home grown. Mad respect and you must be disciplined and patient to grow a Nice team to compete. I'm trying to (or I have tried) in the past but fall off the wagon and go to the trans list to buy higher caliber well trained player. I find it almost impossible to stick to the training after a few seasons and either sale or draft a stud in the draft. I'm drifting along in D3 for the 2nd time and will probably be back in D4 next season. I have a couple nice outside players I trained and currently training for Bigs. At that proverbial cross roads to have a fire sale and reset for a few seasons building up some nice trainees or buy a couple older vets that still have a bunch of TSP left.

I agree, I look forward to Friday when training results come out. As I mentioned I am at a cross road to try to acquire a couple old veterans along with my PG and wing players and and just train FT and Stamina to keep the team in shape. Or, burn it down and start fresh with a couple 18 yr olds and a bunch of old cheap vets while they are in training. I guess I need to ask is first couple seasons primarily 1v1 training or do I mix in some OD, ID or other single player training??
