I would love to have an income for playing a scrimmage.

I dont even care if BB would cut the income for the regurlar competition game. Instead of 100% income competition, give us 75% for a competition and 25% for a friendly. This makes thursday just more interested and more real. In real sports clubs recieve money by playing friendlies. Its kinda stupid that currently we recieve zero..

Ben je op zoek naar een BB-Buddy die jou alle kneepjes van BB bijbrengt? Neem dan deel aan het Buddy-sytem. Pm mij voor meer info

People who have 7 players and do not need scrimmage for training lose out with this rule. Same goes to someone unable to get a scrimmage. As scrimmage takes place in one of the stadiums then the other side will get no money? How many of you will accept a scrimmage away then? Have you seen the attendance numbers of scrimmages? Scrimmage has other meanings - it should never be "must play at home" "as a divIV team must play divI team to gain the most".
Think of a scrimmage this way. It's additional free game for the supporters to see.

I think you want to make BB like HT?

I don't like the idea!
Then I will not play in the cup because I earn more when I play friendly games...

I like it how it goes now. A friendly to train more players or play against a friend (like I do), not for money!

All the teams might not need training time... I agree. Every team though needs money. And money is a good motive to find a team and play a friendly match!
Also i proposed in order not to loose control the Income of scrimmages to be cut by half for both sides No matter who plays in and who plays out! Its a start... Others might have an other idea for that.Better... than mine.

Getting Less is better than getting nothing after all!

A friendly match is not been made only for fun, but to gain some extra training time.
To gain...

Why not gain some extra money as well?

Very inspiring post!!!

Suppose you are a team that plays in the 1st division, and you say.... Baaaahhh i will go out from the cup in order to gain more money. In that case... teams from lower division will have a better chance to win the trophy!!!!!!!!!! Exciting isn' t it???

It is an extra choice!!! Nice thing to have!!!

Because those who log in often would have advantage over those who don't. And BB said many times they don't want that.

Plus all issues mentioned above. Say no to hattrick!.)

A big reason why I like the idea of a small income from scrimmages is that it promotes networking and outreach in the game. The more teams we play, and the more games we play, the more involved we become and the stronger the game could become.


best argument ever. right now I play the same guys over and over. there is no incentive (hey, who cares about chasing flags) to go and find players new players to interact with.

As to the guy having just 7 players.....that is SO atypical. how many pro or college teams have that few....

That's a bit overstating but that's not atypical at all. When you have more players it is often the same. Add injured players sometimes teams have bad luck and are infested with injuries, then you don't want to or need to play a SC just because of that.

That being said i would like to have something like european basketball or soccer international competitions for each level - in arcade mode. The point is that you can't set scrimmages in advance, so that would make automatic profit for those who'd log in at needed time over those who don't. Not a big deal if with limited money but still not the way to go.

So let's say scrimmages give you money. In that case everyone gains more money and the situation is basically the same for everyone (except the guys who have limited time), people make more money TL price goes up a little = nothing actually changes.
Only thing I can see is just starting IVdiv teams play scrimmages against divI team (friends) at home gaining more money based on attendance -> imbalance.
Scrimmages are made for training purposes only if you want to make money stay in the cup.
If you want to save up more money, when you drop out of the cup, sell you're extra players.
