Everyone playing in OBL notice one thing: There are a lot of people hosting games, but there aren't so many playing away games.
Why is it like this?
Simple: If you host a game you're always winning some $$, whether you win or lose. However playing away games is 'risky' - you can (and as noob you will) lose game and get nothing for all your work with captchas.
I noticed there are currently only like 10 teams playing away games regularly:
Athretvari Jellyfish Brith Bashers Daemons Hell Daemons Felandia Athletics Imperium Panzers Marinas Island Apostrophes Numars Blues
Pleiades Shooting Stars Xelradia Strikers Yoitz Wolves
others play really rarely or not at all - they host games all the time instead... but who can blame them? Hosting is more profit
What we need - for more players to actually play AWAY games is some incentive.
What I propose is a bonus of 0.01(or more) to every stat (Pitching/Batting , Speed , Awareness )of every player for every AWAY game played.
but since many of forementioned teams are MAXed (overall rating of 100.00) I additionaly suggest +500$ bonus for every stat that is maxed (up to 1500$ bonus for 1 maxed player & up to 13500$ bonus for maxed team per every away game they play) . I believe that these changes would balance the numbers of host/away players and would promote playing in Orbis Baseball League overall.
Role playing reasons: Think of it as growing faster through the battle with enemy teams in unknown enviroment(stadium) so players adapt faster
And for maxed players: Since they are maxed and famous , it's additional payment for advertisements in TV etc.
tl;dr
Play away game -> +0.01(or more) to all stats of all players in your team
Your player has maxed stats --> +500$bonus for every 100.00 out there.
Please~
