Agreed, it does go both ways. Serie A is stronger then the NBBA (what, ive never said otherwise! It costs more to survive there so I'd support them having a slight increased revenue stream, same for the lower divisions. With twice as many users, it costs more to compete in Italy at every level then it does in the US. Why should't there be an adjustment based on the number of users to balance the economic playing field?

As stated in another topic why should one country have an increase because there are more users? It has been discussed multiple times. Far too often topics like these end up in people pleading for changes that benefit themselves. If one country would get an increase in economy, all users would end up there. And since the world doesn't only consist out of 4 countries we should keep it this way.

did you read any of my prior post(s)? the "why" is pretty much spelled out there.

lol i love the BB community. A brilliant topic has been started, asking players for their input and within a day people are argueing off topic whether a banana is green or yellow... :)

well, it depends on where you get the banana, there are people who have yellow bananas on this side, and other sides have green, other sides have both, and other sides have none...

my point: nothing (just following up Astragoth's post)

Agreed. Some revenue modifier, even small, to adjust for the massive difference in competition between countries would be nice. Though i doubt it'll ever happen.

competition levels never stay the same long enough to make this make sense + who and how can decide who deserves more or who is more competitive?

in the space of 2 transfers an underperforming side can start challenging well above his normal level of competition.... the so called 'countries with higher or tougher levels of competition is self fuelled... 1 team improves their roster the next ones follow suit' BUT this is the same all over the BB globe just at different paces and you could argue that the toughest leagues to compete in are the ones with bigger differentials to close.

Having said this it does work well in Football Manager Live... if we had a global ranking system you could base the modifier on prize money based on ranking... so if the global ranked 3rd, 7th 8th 9th etc happened to be in the NBBA then this would equate to a certain amount of $ prize money... if the JBBL happened to have the 4th 187th, 567th,924th etc then their prize money would be somewhat less.

Before this gets addressed I would still like to see teams being able to enter certain games with same enthusiasm advantages ;-)

Why I need to buy a tripple tremendous palyer from manager for 5million, If I can get such a palyer from Free Agent for 3 million? I think Free agents must stay!!!

who: BBs as always :)
how: i.e. average team ratings. Taking into account the first 3 divisions. Or average salaries, or player's ratings, etc...

Do you think it's just a coincidence that your arena is about two times as big as Italian's strongest teams?

even if it would benefit me i don't think this is a good solution

italy has reached the economic balance between income and salaries, i don't know the other countries but i fear the smallest will never reach this balance

So you think it is impossible to have a bigger arena in leagues where the competition is higher? I don't think, that the German Bundesliga has a very low competion, but most of the teams are able to increase the size of their arena a lot more then managers in other countries (e.g. italy). Here is an actual post of the arenas of the Bundesliga(41747.43).
There are teams that have never been dominant in this or in other leagues (e.g. ESV Laims), who still manage to get a decent sized arena. And now you want to punish the teams, which have choosen an tactic, which seem to work out better in the long term?
