I believe atleast GM-s should have good knowledge on english and better knowledge of the fact that not all can speak and write english well. It's sometimes hard to figure out what the person is trying to say unless you take the post as a whole. Clinging to just one sentence does not make sense at all as it can be easily misinterpeted. Was that a sufficent response for you?

I understand quite well what he's trying to say, and his English is excellent. There is no need to put his language skills down.

In my eyes economically means that they have higher salaries than players from my country (or otherwise foreigns 10-20% cheaper)...?

I don't know.

My point was that until we get specific information about how this change is going to work, suggesting that it will affect salaries is just a guess

ok, I just wanted to start the talk about it before it's fixed! Changes afterwards are more difficult I think

I just thought that you did not fully understand his post. I'm not putting his english skill down, perhaps your's a little;)

Boo :-P

i guess it is not the language:) (sorry i couldn't resist)

I read that next season there will be higher salaries for international superstars.

You did not.

Stated in the news? Well I like this change it makes you train more of your own countrymen!:P

Well, if you want to train your countrymen you can do it without problem, the change just puts a limitation in those that don't care about the nationality while giving those that do no new possibilities. Basically the change jus limits the game. I think that's booring.

You think it's boring? Nice argument. Usually the guy who has the chance to play at his home country asks for less money. Legionares usually cost more. As you have a salary formula in BB that is closely related to skills then tax is the only way to raise salarys for the legionares. Nobody likes to train NT members, this adds just some more twist to the game. Don't worry your swedish extreme top prospects will still be taken by top teams:)

There are no drafts in Europe in RL. Should that be changed in BB to reflect this? Arguing by RL is useless, not everyting from reality should be implemented, the main prurpose should be variety of options and fun. For example you could make clubs from some countries richer at start because it is like this in real life. We can have simulation, but since managers joined game with no bounderies to succes it is no an option anymore. The last sentence was rhetorical not a comment about newly announced change - just to prevent confusion.

This - as announced - brings nothing to the game, only limits some options (it doesn't matter how much).

You think it's boring? Nice argument.

Yes, I think it is the most important factor od them all and I am quite comvinced that a BB needs to be as enteraining as possible to survive in the long run. (I have more elaborated answers why it is a bad idea in global tread. No need to cross posting I think)

In RL it is often the oposite once you get to the top players in the top leagues. Out of two equally good players the american will tend to get a higher salary in the NBA than the foreigner, just like the eqaullay talented swedish player would normally earn more than the american in Sweden (not that there are to many Swedes that are good enough to compete with the random american bb player:).

Legioners tend to get higher salaries because they seek them selves to the team that pays them most. They couldn't care less if the team is domestic or foreign. It just happens that in most cases there are much more places where they will be foreigners than native. In some cases, e.g. for american bb players, the best market happens to be the domestic market. Thus the best americans tend to play there, while those that are not good enough seek there fortune in Europe (and the worst will do it in Sweden where they will become big stars).

I am not worried at all about the NT team, I actually couldn't care much less about the NT. Even if I did I would not care at all if the NT players where trained in Sweden, Pakistan, or anywhere else. There is a reason why so few vote in the NT elections (I actually do); most people simply don't care about them, so introducing a "feature" that will affact most teams negatively to possible improve the experience for those that like the NT makes little sence.
