And your Utopia team is a good example of how slow the game has become. An experienced manager like yourself, still didn't even win one division title in 9 seasons that you are playing. And furthermore, your arena is still not fully complete.

During the first 25-30 seasons of BB, one could get from Div IV/V to Div I in 6-8 seasons, while also completing their arena. But that's hardly possible in today's BB.

Many of the major changes that were introduced in BB ended up being detrimental for new users:
- Raising salary floor
- Creating Utopia
- Introducing new parts of the arena
- Introducing new staff
- Releasing players from bot teams on a TL
etc.

On the other hand, the only noticeable “help” that new users got was a tiny bit bigger starting arena, while keeping the price of building the arena the same, which is laughable.

BB was always a marathon, not a sprint. The difference is that in the old days, there were many different ways users used to tackle that marathon. Some started fast, and than camped at some spot to rest, and continued when they felt like they're ready to move on, others started with walking and picked up their pace later on, etc.

Nowdays, new managers have both legs broken, and it seems the only choice they have is whether to just wait at the spot until their legs are a bit better, or crawl forcefully and risk further injuries.

I love arena just as it is.
No sense increase again the arena for new users.
BB is a strategic game based on economy. So....if you want to play at BB you must be good on your economy.
Is BB slow? Yes it is. And so?
peace :)

I liked the ideas of adding a weekly maintainace-cost for seats and/or make the starting-bonus (partly) commited to arena

Beeing a bit off-topic on helping new managers: do not 'hide' the infrastructure under the 'arena-designer' dropdown... it took some time to find out how to build a gym...

Best regards,
Ted

I think this part of the game really has a lot of potential for modifications and improvements. But I don't like simple deletion, especially if the reason for doing so is to increase the pace of the game.

Club infrastructure development is closely related to a sports club management game. I find it fun, as well as being a natural maturing time in the game, competing in the lower leagues, having to make choices about which path to take, where to invest first, etc.

OK friend
but maybe the choice is not exactly that
