Maintenance fee.??? Tell me your joking??

I know it might not be the most conventional idea but not only is it realistic, but I honestly believe it would make the game more fun and better. You're acting like it's such an obviously bad idea that you won't even respond to it but I don't get what you have against it.

Arena has to many cost fee to attain for starters. Arena is not cheap, you may see my arena and he is same level as me cant be very hard. It took me 8 season to do, almost 4 million+. That's not covering lost ticket sales I lost while building ,when the seat don't fill or I lose a game. That not covering the future seats, I have to build. Which be even higher in cost to do. I'm guessing around 5 million. I'm losing money every game, every season on seats regardless . I'm not only one losing money in arena seats everyone on BB is. Every one losing thousands of dollars a season regardless if they fill them or not. What we could have in seat money and etc, always play a factor.

Arena cost may be realistic, at the same its not a realistic need in my small opinion. Arena is pretty much set correctly in my opinion. The other factors that make tickets sale like fans mood, even things out. Not speaking on my own behalf, Maintenance fee's would set a lot of people back, who already spent millions to build, what I need a fee for? Should the place not be the highest quality and standard a arena can last for 30-50 years with out issue.. It bad enough losing revenue on seats and building, the correct player you need to put the buns in the seats with the fan moods.

The kicker with the way it is now,. I get a chance to get the money back.. with a Fee as presented, I don't get it back. I don't see anything that's presented that benefit my wallets or any team overall to bring revenue back.

BB isn't dying a slow death. I believe this game is about dedication. What you get out of it is a direct reflection of how much you put into the game. I don't worry about teams that go inactive because it just means they weren't dedicated neigh to build their team and compete in the higher divisions. I'm a really competitive person and I want to play against the best managers in the future once my team improves.(I'm a good 4 or 5 seasons away from that. If not longer.) I believe there are enough dedicated managers right now who make BB what it is today. Now don't get me wrong, having more managers wouldn't be a bad thing but it is nothing to worry about and should not make anyone think this game is dying. People lose interest in the game when they are not making progress. Even though I'm a relatively new manager (joined in the middle of season 27) I love his game and never want to see it end. Just remember my team name because I will make it to the top division in the USA eventually, just give me time. Lol that's all I have to say, just wanted to throw my thoughts out there.

Well i'm a new user here, so add 1 to the current players list :D

and so far, i really love this game, I've been playing soccer management games for a while, and i definitely find this game enjoyable as well.

Happy to see you enjoying this game. Good luck this season. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask questions in the forums. There are a lot of managers who are more than happy to help assist you.

Good to hear BarcaSwag.

As Sportsmaniac99 suggested, ask questions...lots of them. Also, read through the Help forums as you will find most of your answers in threads going back RL years. Just remember, no matter how silly you think the question might be, or even if you think it's been asked before, ask it anyway...

Good luck this season and hopefully you're here for the long term :)

If only persistence is required, I'll be #1 someday ...

1. To devs: Keep doing what you have been doing. Don't lose confidence now

2. Keep any eye on weaknesses of the game (overall). Focus on improving those areas

3. Improve the amount of joy each user derives from the game. In feeding us real entertainment (e.g joy, detachment, diversion or escape), therein will your ultimate blooming lie $$$

Why? First of all: is that true ?? If yes, go to step #1.

I love Buzzerbeater because it is such a strategic, fun, simple, yet complex game where you can find several different ways to be successful. And what got me hooked is the ability to ask questions and get answers quickly if I ever have something on my mind. The close community and communication between managers makes this game special. Just keep doing what you're doing BB and this game will remain to be successful. A few improvements each season makes this game more and more exciting. My next goal is to be a U21 manager for any country so I can get more experience. I feel like I can do something special. I'm absolutely hooked to this game.

I have been playing Buzzerbeater since February 2009. And being addicted even more today. Not only because of the game itself, but also because of the great community. I'm sure if BB invests some money in advertising on basketball community web sites (for example, in Germany on schoenen-dunk.de, crossover-online.de or fivemag.de), the user base will grow. This game has great potential and if I look at how BB developed in the past 2 years, I'm very confident.

I agree, Shadow. This game can and will still grow. However, importantly, if it doesn't...it's still very good in its existing form.

I've been playing since 2010 and, like yourself, still love it. I've made some major mistakes over the last four or five seasons (all on whims when RL interfered with my investment in the game) but now I'm enjoying the challenge of trying to fix those mistakes and fight my way back. To make the task more challenging, the addition of Utopia and increased prices on the transfer market for older players has made it harder to get the players you want if you're not training or if you need some experience off the bench. Throw in the introduced player salary caps on purchases, training exemptions, over exemption tax, the GDP and---the best lesson I've learned---the importance of training players for your team's future success...and this game offers enjoyment to match the level of commitment by the manager.

Long live BB! lol
