Checked Canadas active managers about this time two weeks ago. Around 500.
Checked last week. 452.
Now. 429.
Why is Canada dropping so much? Or is this normal and I have just never noticed it? I expect the number to drop and rise, but there has not been much rising. Just dropping. All the veterans finally getting tired of the game? I know HPP went bot a few weeks ago. *sigh* just a little unfortunate I guess :P

Well, I did notice that worldwide the active teams dipped down to the high 47,000 (now a little over 48,000) from hovering around 50,000 for the last year and half. Don't know if people are getting tired or if its because of the perceived problems with delays in training or if this is just a normal cycle these types of games go through - can't really say. Let me ask - Does anybody know for sure?

At one point, about last february, buzzerbeater had about 60000 teams and a little under 700. From around june to july, there was a huge dropoff.

I originally found BuzzerBeater through a random banner ad on some website that I've since forgotten. Apparently this website was more interesting than whichever website I had been on.

Also, I've noticed a decline in the number of Canadian managers, mostly because my "Country Rank" keeps going up while my team stays mostly the same. I actually sent Bballin a message last night with some of the information I've got from scouting in my leagues draft, and asked him what I can do as far as maybe developing a player or two for the future and getting more involved in our NT/U21.

I'm a firm believer in the "quality over quantity" theory. We don't have the most managers, but as long as the ones we have are active and talented, we're a solid Nation each and every season.

Ive Accomplished Nothing Important in this Game. Stop Reading this Message, Now. Like Me, Theres Nothing Important About it.

I think most log on initially just to satisfy some curiosity in response to a ad, once on they realize that
a) this is not a porn site
b) this is nice site but not really what they are after
c) no instant gratification on achieving some easy goal
d) not enough shooting, gore, blood, guts, etc...
e) too much freaking thinking and not enough synaptic neurons clicking to handle that aspect of life
f) this is not a porn site
