What is there to evaluate? They have close games every game day. It seems like a success to me.
Get these other mergers done already. Competition is key to keep the users you have...nobody wants to play 10 bot games in a 22 game season.


Good for compétition but still bad for national teams. Think about all things ;)

Other merges will be possible the season after the next one at the earliest

Merges plural. Two? Three? Where might they be? What size countries are we talking about? The largest country to be merged so far is South Africa with less than 16 managers. Is that the limit or is it higher? For example would Japan and New Zealand be candidates for a merge? Will there be one merge for Asian countries or two since it's a very large continent? I could think of a plethora of other questions that should be answered but since I don't expect an answer I'll leave it at just these.

These are just some of the variables that need to be decided upon for every possible merge. Yes, there are several planned as we need to group countries by many parameters, the most important being similar game start time (geographic closeness).

Who gives a sh*t about one game a week when the other three games suck? I don't care about the NT at all. I want competition. Competition is wants makes this game fun and right now in most micros there is no competition. Pretty soon we will be under 15K users and the BB is talking about 2018/19. That is crazy!! The time to change is now!!

How many people are playing this game just for the NT? I would say around 1%. If the NT is so great, why is the game bleeding users?

I know you did. But what make you believe that asking all questions like you did you will receive your answers?

The questions I ask are things that I believe the community in general should know. I don't really expect answers, but that expectation clearly doesn't influence me.

I was wondering more about whether future merges would happen at the same time, or be done one at a time. That notwithstanding, thanks for the answer.

I don't even bother to login more than once every week or two and I'm one game out of the playoffs.

You are right, but if you remove the "just" from your sentence, I think it would be a lot more than 1%.

Also modifying the draft so that each nation has enough players should be fairly easy and it wouldn't affect anyone (have a few trainable players hit free agency for each nation)

it's just part of BB !

And it will continue to be so although the smallest communities might get even weaker NTs. Club competition should always be weighted more than NT competition. And merging is the right way to go for club competition, therefore weaker NTs for micros is not a valid argument to stop mergers. That being said, it should be possible to merge micros without hurting their NTs.
