I read somewhere that having a foreign player on your team can affect your fan...support. If thats true, does that mean the more foreign players I have, the more my fans will be negatively effected? Or is it the same whether I have 1 foreign player or 5 foreign players on my team?

Yeah...I'm wondering if I have a lot of foreign players how much it will effect me? I've got 5 foreigners on my team of 12 players.

I'm curious as to the difference between draftees versus players from your nation.

On a side note, I kinda feel that foreign players should be able to generate merch due to tenure. Maybe like after playing 3 seasons under the same team.

I always wondered why its backwards, the yao ming effect, you bring a foreigner in on n nba team, their mergandise goes up. In bb it goes down :p


because here... there are 10s of thousands of teams.

and most foreign countries have multiple teams of all their own national guys there too...

too saturated a market for international fan base support.

In DIII, with a home grown team at the top of its conference I earn $55k of merchandising. In Uoptian DIII with a team full of drafted players at the bottom of its conference I earned consistently $60k+.

This is only an example.

Likewise with an all American team I made around 46K-50K. Add three foreigners and it dropped to an average of 34K.
