My suggestion is, making it so we can draft one player from a small nation without a lot teams or user base there.

This would help create better NT and u21 players in smaller nations to keep things competitive and open up some help in these areas of the game.

. But you can only draft one player and only once every 3 seasons time.

For example :Your 1st two picks would be your home country the 3rd would be. A small nation. You. Can pick the rounds.

This would cost more draft balls to do ,&a international fee of 100k-250k the higher rounds of pick.

*All the regular currently updated draft rules apply as well as well based your team rankings , up to date*

I dont see the need for the fee. Just implement the international element for the 3rd round. First 2 rounds are your own nation and 3rd round is the micro nations round of the draft.

A safeguard could be implemented that All Time Great and HOF micro nation prospects only show up in the drafts of the actual micro nation users themselves but everyone else like the US and China could potentially land anything MVP and below provided someone of that caliber generates for your draft.

My own unrelated suggestion is to increase the effects of fan support. Maintaining 4 to 5 balls in fan support yields good results that ultimately feel a little lackluster. Its a small calculation adjustment. Fandoms seem almost a little too fickle. If your team is a perennial loser thats one thing but if your teams putting in good results far more often than not, that should reflect more in the consistency of that teams fandom.

Of course their are staff and buildings to help with this so thats awesome but the tweaking whatever the current formula is would make sense as well especially as a teams existence goes on longer leading to a higher number of lifelong diehard fans. Overly fickle fandoms make more sense for newer teams with far less history.

Thank you for reply and hello


"That's a great point you raise which cause for a deeper response.

. Some of the reason for this suggestion is ,A lot of great talent does go to bot teams in those small nations , and while some might argue they're essentially free agents, the draft fee structure acknowledges the value you're bringing to the table. The fees, ranging from 50k to 250k for higher rounds, serve as a deterrent against abuse and help international teams retain their top players. Given it's only once every 3 seasons, it's a calculated investment. The fee is essentially a transfer fee of international, allowing teams to maintain control over their own talent and negotiate rights."

It's add bit of real life flavor to the game. With rules already there to support it

It is an very raw idea,but intrdouce some mechanism of solidarity payments to teams which retain own their drafted players from a certian amount of potenial(let's say MVP give or take areas,could be one level below or one level above ball park areas) would be a good incentive for lower leagues teams to retain and train by themselfs talent and avoid extreme "Draft&Sell" situations(they can still do it if they will) scenarios.

Theoreticlly speaking,let's say the player "Mr.Worldwide Meme" from "Buzzerbeater" team drafted in the next season,stayed for around 4 seasons but unfourtanely did not fullied his full celling,sold for another 5 times in his career and from each time they get up to 100,000 per player from solidarity payments(None if he drafted and sold at his rookie season,25,000$ if he sold at his second constructive season,50,000 if he sold at the third year,and the 100,000$ of the fourth season would be payed from buzzerbeater,not the purchasing team).

Good afternoon, I have two suggestions, one minor and one major.

Minor:
Update the All-Star game. For years now, we've only seen the final score, not the points per quarter like in a regular game.

Major:
Changes to the national teams. I've also noticed that the effort is concentrated in the early years of youth development, and when players leave the U-21 level, they lose their training rhythm because at 22, it's almost impossible for them to make the national team. The national teams have players aged 34 or older with very high salaries and irreplaceable players, and developing this new generation of stars requires a sacrifice from clubs that most are unwilling to make.

The proposal would be to create an intermediate U-25 national team to support the final development of the players.

The proposal would be to create an intermediate U-25 national team to support the final development of the players.

Yep, a sort of B national side sounds, in theory, appealing.
Way too many "great" (young/promising) players discarded... would also, supposedly, involve/generate more relevant players, games and bring more managers and "general" flow, in principle, at least.

I do belive to allow to Intrdouce a forgien players restrections(by a joint leagues choice if a certian nation want to do so(lets look at the Spanish ABA,Israel Basketball premier league,Serie A,all of them have some form of Fgn players regulation or at least HG quota). In a structure of:All Div.1 human players,all Div.2 Human players,selected active teams from leagues 3&4 leagues if those exist in that parcticular nation and they have to at least play few seasons at BB)

Major 1:
Make a "Buy now" button like on Ebay. For some players bids can be unpleasant. I know autobid is here but maybe also having a "buy now" button with the desired money from the seller would be nice.

Major 2:
Also please consider to speed up the game. Maybe even in one day we could have a full week of games. It is really slow for current times.

I think both of these aspects are here by design that make the game a little slower. As a the BB community ages, real-life responsibilities are taking over and not everybody can log in so frequently to look for new players on the transfer list to "buy them now" or set a new tactic for a different opponent (perhaps after careful analysis of their pervious games) every day. By design, BB is a slow game that you can enjoy over a longer time and not get your fill of the matches until the matchdays are nothing special anymore within a couple of days.

The good thing is that with private leagues and pickup games you can increase the number of games you can play within a week, though without any effects of the injuries, economy, etc. Maybe the new BB will have something new as well, such as different tournaments and ladder matches in Hattrick if you're a supporter.
