is it an idea to merge some competitions in different countries together?
for example merge Netherland and Belgium together. both countries haven't got a lot of active players so it will be much interesting to play in a stronger competition Belgium/Netherland.

There should be option to change goalkeepers depending on result, not only played minutes / goals in row. Now you cant put young goalie on goal if you lead 10 goals - that is stupid. Before match you do not know if you will be 5 behind or 5 ahead in last 10 minutes...

This is a must thing in tactics and honestly I do not know why this option was not included in "default" tactics when handball started.

Check the CL history for credits?It would be popular

The sponsor moneys are growing quite ridicule in per bot teams in league. I got maximum offer on first day which is 200k less than my this seasons contract. The amount should be justified by the time season starts cause new players could join league, making it more competitive. Handball really can't continue if this gets worse.

Any chance you can make it so when we accidently cancel a player's (or employee's) contract we can cancel that?

What about B team league(15-25 yo players)? Its really bad after good player stop play in U21 NT he is on the ice. Next few years he is out of competitions, not enough good to play in league or NT, only friend matches. Example some 22yo who just drop to5/6 player with 2000 skill points is "on the ice". Not enough good for NT and club competitions, next few years must wait to start play in any of them... but there is another problem he is out of experience. Only solution is to sale him to the low league club and what is the point? 7-8 years paying wages then must sold him because that great player not worth anything,then again after 5 seasons he is top star player without experience(lover in low competitions)I think there B team league will be great solution for rich and poor teams.Rich teams got reason to keep players in own B team, small teams got chance to earn money from growing good players and get aditional money from ranking rewards. And player career stats will not be empty btw 22-27 years

I know that suggestions mostly go into deaf ears as the development has pretty much stopped, but I would still like to suggest something:

I would suggest that you make all players that come from sports academy & draft have their CL hold four seasons at the same one they were pulled. So a 15 6/6 player would always be 18 6/6 and 15 5/6 player would always be 18 5/6. I realize it's pretty much a no-no as you're reading this, but hear me out.

I haven't played soccer for long but there is an attribute limit at 655. Not sure how intentional that was, but it makes it so a lot more national teams are competitive. NTs with more and better players do still have an advantage with having higher attributes in other areas, but in my opinion it's by far the most "balanced" or should I say fair and competitive sport internationally on PPM.

I don't think something like that is really possible to install in a sport already active. But something should be done to make more countries competitive in international tournaments. Countries with most players get the most advantage when it gets to building a NT, as they have a bigger pool of players to chose from. There are many filters through which potential NT players must go through to be selected for NT: high OR, high XP, good qualities, good CL history, not being stuck on a team with poor trainig. The more filters there are, the more favoured countries with big player pools are as they have more players that make it through. Imagine for a second if soccer did't have an attribute cap at 655, there would only be few national teams as heavy favorites and everyone else underdogs.

When sports like handball and hockey were "young", up to say season 15, players aged 15-20 were considered prospects and players aged around 22 would already be able to step into the lineup and be competitive, as top players at that time were around 25, 26 and 27y. But as seasons go by, the average age of best players increases. Hockey has already come to that point and best players have their prime between 32 and 38y old. This means players are no longer prospets just when they are between 15-20 years old, but they are prospects pretty much utill their 30s, as only then do they come into lineup with top teams and national teams.

Now what does all this have to do with my suggestion: Well say you pull two players from your sports academy, identical OR and qualities, excpt for CL. If player A drops to 4/6 at 17 and player B stays 6/6 even at 18, by the time they are 20, their training is still pretty much be the same. The one with better CL might come ahead slightly, but players aged 15 through 20 train pretty much equally. Which is nice, since they are still prospects.

But players nowdays remain "prospects" for 10 more seasons. If you have a player that makes it to 28 or 29 at 3/6 he has a chance to gain quite a bit of OR even in his late twenties. But if a player drops CL early his OR gained in his 20s is significantly reduced. This player will also likely drop to 0 and start losing OR more quickly, but that is the point of CL drops anyway.

Say a country is having a hard time developing a player for certaion positions. After 10 seasons of poor pulls they finally have high Q player at that position. But if his CL drops early, he won't reach high enough OR to be competitive with a NT that has 10 better players to chose from.

If you pull a high Q 15 yer old or buy an expensive one, but his CL drops in first or even second season, you already know that by the time he is ready for play at ~30, he will not be a good player. His training will slow down early in his 20s and his OR will start decreasing earlier than most players. If my high OR & Q player drops to 16 5/6, i already know he's never gonna be able to compare to a player with 3000+OR from a NT of a country with many teams. If one of their players has poor luck with CL, they have 15 others that jump ahead of him in depth chart and few of them eventually become superstars. But for a country with few players that one lucky pull at certain position is the only hope for that national team.


By making all player pulls stay same CL to 18, it would do the following:

- young players, especially 15 year old, would become much more valuable, as they would have fewer chance of fizzling out early.

- player's CL fizzle out anyway, even if they make it to 21 or 22 5/6. I had a 21 5/6 player go to 26 2/6, 22 5/6 one go to 27 2/6, 29 3/6 to 32 1/6, 21 5/6 to 32 0/6, so there would still be plenty of CL drops at young age and late age as well when their training doesn't matter anymore anyway.

- pulling a good player from SA would already be that much better felling as you would know there is a good chance he becomes a solid player, rather than hope and pray every 1st day of new season when logging into the game that his CL and his future don't drop.

- countries with fewer teams would be able to over time improve the quality of their teams, as average OR on those national teams would likely go up, seeing as there are many "bad players" on national teams as there simply isn't any other option. Teams calling up 29 year olds with 2200 OR will never stand a chance of competing with better teams. But if this is a 2700 OR player being called up it makes international tournaments much more competitive.

- countries with most teams and biggest player pools would also have higher quality of players to chose from, this is true, but they alredy do and it wouldn't be nearly as advantageous to them, as they already only chose between superstars anyway.

- it would create more good players overall, which would be good as it would make more teams competitive. In some sports there are pretty much no good players on the market ever anyway, unless a big team goes dead. If you have a good team and need an improveent in one area you may go several seasons before you see the type of player you need actually hit the market. basicly a way to revitalize the market and allow more teams to become competitive.

- players pulled with 5/6 CL would actually become slightly more valuable. I've only ever seen one player that came from academy with 5/6 CL make it into the NT (that is assuming sport was already "peaked" and not in early seasons). It's already super rare to have a player like that make it to 22 4/6. This might actually make few players pulled like that make the NT, espacially for nations with small talent pool. It would also likely put more of these players into lineups of medium tier teams, as they would on average likely achieve higher OR and actually become slightly viable.

- i don't think it would really affect the depth of market (it's low tier players), as on average better CL wouldn't matter much when player is on a team with poor training facilities and staff.

- there are fewer and fewer teams, meaning fewer teams that can train players at top level and fewer high Q plaers pulled that will become superstars. It would make more players be interesting to train. qualities are important in earlier seasons but CL is more important later. It would make so player qualities remain important and not have a 28 1/6 player at 2500 OR and high Q's there just for the show.

Basicly the point of this suggestion is to not have players be prospects and train evenly at ages only 15 through 20, but have a higher chance of them training more evenly through their early, mid and late 20s. My first thought was to suggest they all make it to 22 5/6, but i realize it's not gonna happen. But same cl for first 4 seasons would do much good IMO.
