BuzzerBeater Forums

IF this were implemented, I would not like the option to join this 'nation'. I think if a nation is currently below a certain amount(lets say 150) of users then it would become a part of the 'world nation' but keep its nations flags and players. Then in the future if a nation dropped below 100 users for an x amount of seasons, there would be a Poll for only that nation showed on their BB news page where they will be asked if theyd like to join the world league(starting in the lowest league with a reset team) or continue in their nation.

For drafts idk if it is possible, but have the players in the draft be nationless until drafted and then they get the nation of thw country that chose them.

Language shouldn't be a problem because you choose your own language anyways.

Timezone is something that you couldnt work around though.

I'm just looking for a way to get new users involved a lot quicker. Many users aren't interested by the long period of time it takes to get into a competitive league here, and maybe that just means they aren't cut out for Buzzerbeater but I think if there was a way to capture new users attentions and expand the number of active teams in this game that it would be definitely help the site.

Well, good idea for new nation user, like if country 1 had only 20 active teams, and country 2 has 300+ active teams and they're right next to each other, I think that would work. And I think a new arrangemeant of divisions would hrlp cause some of the teams in MY division are as competitive as a ant. (don't do nothin and they sundenly quit) and if they are in a worldwide division where there are teams just as or nearly competitive as them, they would stay.

I have a better idea....start a Private League and get 16 teams from other nations and then battle it out. You can call it The World League..

What you are saying is almost exact, and this is what I was fighting here for, for some time. Currently it seems that adding statistics is top priority.

The problem is not "getting to competitive league", but the fact that the game is not competitive.
This is why the game does not grow above the 50K users, altough users are joining day by day.

But, hey, let's keep our heads down, lie to all, and keep it this way...

Do you really see someone giving-up its advantage (due to the competitiveness problem of this game) for joining this league?
As you probably saw, they do not even admit that there is one although the proven examples that are non-mistakable I've presented.

The fact that you repeat yourself constantly with the same claims does not make them any more true than when you said them the first time. Repetition is not proof, it makes the point more memorable, but not proven.

I think this whole idea could make problems worse not better. If you allow some teams from micronations to move across it will just make things worse for those that remain. The top teams in the big nations will probably not want to move either. They will not want to give up their advantages (if they have them), their history, their rivalries, their NT involvements etc. Sure some will go but overall I think this is a bad idea.

What is a good idea and many people have suggested this for a long time is start up a second world from scratch. Let people have a team in the second one. Think carefully about which nations to create. Start everyone on an equal footing in the lowest level of their nations so they can get promoted on merit. So many games have different worlds/servers why not BB? Some have suggested this be a supporter only world, I don't agree because I think it may make the playerbase too small but it is worthy of discussion. When new teams sign up they will have a choice of joining world Kobe (old) or World Lebron (new).

This is pretty much what I'm gunning for, with the only difference being you get one team and have to choose which world you put your one team in. If there were enough users to divide the new world into nations that would be awesome.
