new "logo"...."Game in progress! The box score will be available once game has finished"...almost 2 hours after the game has finished....congratulations again BB!!!

Was a bit surprised to see that too... I'll just wait, I have time to see it

one thing that i'm really angry about is that i paid money for this lacking game. that's a pitiful fact and should be really embarrassing for you. do you have any ideas how to compensate the minutes the game isn't running? how about 2 weeks thrre supporter for every supporter? if you don't react to this, i think many people will be as upset as i am and won't extend their supporterships.

well youre right, this is a free game. but i paid for some extras, that arent really worth the money i spend but i dont want to discuss that. the price is okay since i support the work the bbs put in this game and im okay with that.
what matters to me is i bought the supportership when the game was running much smoother. probably i hadnt done so if the game was as slow as it was the past weeks. you know, i started in season 4. that time, the game was running smoother than it was the last few seasons. since then, a huge amount of money was put in this game. but the speed did not improve. thats something you have to wonder about, dont you?
i dont really care about the lost time to play this game. but i do care about what happend to my money. i invested it for little improvements in the game (well, the transfermarket is nearly dead, so this is just part of the truth) and a decreasing game speed. im not satisfied with the results that the community got from the invested money. i know the bbs put a lot of work in this game and i like seeing that. regrettably, this effort resulted in a lacking game and that was defenitely not what i spent my money for and id like to see a real excuse including a statement where the problem is and how it is going to be solved. a message like: "we dont know what it is and how long it will take or what happened but we are working on it" just doesnt satisfy me and i might regain my trust in the skill and expertise of the bbs including their ability to react to the bad mood of their supporters with a small compensation like i suggested.

The speed didn't improve because even more users registered for the game. It's hard to keep improving game speed if thousands of users register every day. And with other problems on their hands, I don't think the BB's top prioriry is game speed.

the number of users decreased in the last few seasons. we once had 60000 members and the number of members stays constantly at 50000. when the number was still rising, the bbs moved servers to increase the speed an the capacity should now be enough i think. so thats not thereal problem.

i already read that post. but does that give you the feeling that the bbs have any ideas what to do next? maybe they should hire a fulltime programmer instead of spreading the expertise all over the world. and this small post did not really reach all the annoyed people out there. this could have been an informal news post which in my eyes would have been the better way.
i dont really wanna discuss the transfermarket. bet let me tell you something: is it a good thing that it is easy to buy excellent players for little money? imho its to easy to buy such players and you dont really need to manage your team well to be able to buy them. thats not a good sign because it makes the game less interesting.
