BuzzerBeater Forums

Everyone stop your arguing. I think we can all agree that Buzzerbeater is not a game nor a manager, but it is in fact a lifestyle. It does not matter what people search, because you can't simply choose the Buzzerbeater life. The Buzzerbeater life must choose you :)

ha... nicely put.

"BuzzerBeater - Not just a game, its a way of life"

Are you saying that you have never bought anything at a grocery store that wasn't on your list?

Also, it may be a "text adventure" but theme is always important to every player in every text adventure.

There are other manager games like BB that pop up well before them with the "simulation" search. I'd bet their entire client list is made up of people that searched "simulation" instead of "manager". Even if you disagree that this is a simulation game, it boils down to simple product marketing. Take a look at the ads here on BB. I'm looking at one for a fantasy based MMORG called Tynon right now as I type this. Does that have anything to do with basketball, management, or simulation at all? Nope. But the people paying for the ad know darn well that BB players are more likely to check it out even though they didn't search for it.

In this case, I'm talking about people that are actively searching for a game which has an even better success ratio of sign ups than an ad does. And since the searcher is actively trying to find a desired theme (in this case basketball) you want to make sure you get as many looks as possible. So what if only 2% decide to sign up on the "simulation" search. That's more than what you would have otherwise.

And really, it doesn't take that much work.

The sign up ratio isn´t what I´m talking about - the "stick with it" ratio is my concern. Nevertheless - whether it takes "not so much" work or "alot of work", it still requires work, and it´s up to the BBs to decide about it. Your suggestion is out, and heard. Nuff said.

Kind of like reading BB forums:

It is true it takes but a few minutes to update some HTML mumbo jumbo to increase listing on web searches.

Oh and I never go into the non-bb global forum, not that I am aware of or remember recently.

Funny, you've been punching away at the keyboard here: (249848.1)

Why couldn't you just agree in the first place? ex. "Yes, I agree BB could spend a small amount of time improving their search engine exposure." not regressing into a pointless list of unrelated searches.

I agree totally. I have had friends that signed up and when the 1st game started and they didn't see any REAL basketball(Dunks,Jumpshots people actually moving around on a court) being played, they quit the very next day. One friend even compared BB to farmtown. A bit harsh but he wasn't that far off...you go on and check everything and log off just to log back on the next day and do it all again.
