What Im terified now is the fact that I got 200M 4* sponsor with fully developed team and over 500 OTR. I will have over 500M expences this season. WTF, i can bancropt. PPM is punishing too much teams in small countries. OTR is reduced for playing against weak teams and nonames and they further reduce it by 20%. I had 560otr few seasons ago and now 510 and winning 80-90% percent of games. OTR is reduced every season, on top of that GS is reduced 20%, MS is calculated on GS so it goes down 20% too. VIP lounge 20% down. Teams in 4th league started in 8th season get better sponsor than me.

I agree with this. There is obviously some set formula based on position in league or OTR. It would be nice to randomise the order. I have about one week in each half of the season that is competitive, the rest is too easy.

It's based on team id.

Hi Vlady, How many active teams are needed for a national team? (Is it 50?) There seems to be inconsistency because some nations with national teams have just 12 (Japan) or 14 (Paraguay) active teams. Japan's world ranking shows that small nations having a national team is not an issue and I strongly believe that it would encourage more people to join and stay on PPM in the smaller nations.
If you don't agree could you please explain why?

yes, it's 50 and these countries both had that number at some point and that's why we opened leagues for them. Having a league is a prerequisite for having a national team. And from our experience separating a country usually has the opposite effect and people start leaving the game.

Then easy fix... allow leagues without a league to have a National Team. We've been asking for this for years now. Isn't it time PPM listen?

a line has to be drawn somewhere

Why? Do not all managers deserve the ability to have players represent in a National Team?

Problem is, if there is a country with only a few teams, they'll gain a huge advantage since all their players will go to the NT and get EXP at a much faster rate than someone who has more competition for players getting on NTs.

Then give "Other world" or "Asia" or North American" leagues a representative team... It will be like the United Nations, the world working together.

The alternative is to give them a national team, but give the experience for meaningful matches, e.g. qualified competitions. That way the smaller nations may be more likely to get players in the national team, but the will be less likely to qualify for major tournaments which will counteract the 'huge advantage'.

I agree that a line should be drawn. But if you were being fair that would mean withdrawing the national team and league if the number of active teams drops. I also agree with trueblue55 that having a league and having a national team do not need to be related.

Or maybe just draw the line somewhere between? 30 teams for a NT and 100 teams for own leagues.

In the case of Scotland there were a number of teams created where the manager logged in just once and this was just before the NTs were introduced. This may explain what you are saying about people leaving the game. Although I think it was someone creating teams just to get a NT and not real new users.

No, experienced managers have left upon getting their own league due to lack of competition.
