Glad to know I was of some help :)

I think your idea is a very good one. I cannot tell you how many times I have sent out the link for both the game manual and the information post in the Help forms put together by RiP. These things should be essential reading and answer a ton of the initial questions.

The only issue is reading thru the numerous pages is also very intimidating and the reason behind many uses leaving. Somehow there needs to be a tutorial that is not so complex and grabs users interests to help them stick around.

Another idea that I have is that people could be automatically assigned a mentor. Mentor would volunteer by clicking a button similar to the election and then new users would automatically be assigned one. Having a good mentor is the only reason I stuck around as both RIP and The Mogul offered to help me out.

You are correct of course!

In Canada's case hey still come from me which is fine. I get lots of feedback and try and help as much as possible.

OK good to know

Want to keep Canada's numbers growing or at least constant.

i have been playing this game since season 10,stoped in 15 and restarted in 24.I think the game is fine,theres no reason to fix something that is not broken.Adding a second team option would lead to cheating but other than that i find it pointless.You may disagree that the game is not broken,but i think the issue with the loss of users is the advertising,the game is fine but however good it is,is irelevant to its population.Of course many people log in just once or never,thats what i do on websites i have no idea about or something i thought would be cool at the moment,if there was a better way to welcome newcommers it would keep them here more.Its not like experienced users gave up the game because they thought it is broken.Ohh and also to whoever said that (teenagers) or anybody really wants a fast paced game is wrong,im 17 and im perfectly fine with the way the game proceeds,its not like the game is the priority of your life,having this site to log in once a day and spend a couple of minutes is enough and satisfying.

Well of course I don't know why you stopped in season 15 to only restart in S24, but admit that if you stop playing a game after 5 seasons/1 year (in Greece, not leading you far) and wait 9 seasons (two IRL years) to replay it seems to indicate you weren't finding enough interest to keep playing. Since that game is aiming for people to stay for a very long time to see the consecration with their team, your example would makes me think something has to be done to help keep players.

not at all,its the other way around,i gave up all my online gaming because it was affecting me in real life,and the fact that i came back to this game indicates that i liked it enough to remember about it.

So BB is far from broken, but changes here and there are mandatory as long as they are thought beforehand and not just made to appease a handful of people.

hence why i said having a second team serves no benefit and i believe only a couple of people want it.Me personally,i have no idea what it would offer.

Second team has been implemented in similar games, and has been working well. As far as I know, that is. BB is my main game, I only recently started playing Trophy Manager. Does anyone else have more experience with those games? Was there any known problems with cheating?

Again, the main benefit of second team idea is financial. More supporters would give needed resources to BB, to improve.

I have a suggestion, not really for new users per say but it would make looking for a scrimmage a bit easier. How about when you are looking at another teams page you see the managers name the, the league they are in and if they are online. How about adding a date of last login? That way you don't have to go through the maze to view the last time they logged in?

To me the fans are brutal making it hard to keep cash to improve and that needs to be fixed....In general I think the it should be easier to maintain a positive cash flow for teams that are active and not being silly with free agents. There are teams in my Div that have virutally no American players and they are making bank....what is that all about. I love the game, the game engine is second to none. It is why I am a paying member..but I admit it irks me to no end that I have fans that expect things that are just unrealistic and have a tizzy when i sell a bench riding player. I will go deep in debt while I wait nearly 3 weeks for a home game...the off season should be shorter of we should have opportunities to stop the hemmorging in money that that the guys who finsihed 6th and 7th have...It would have been better for me to finish 6th and get two home games that pay than too finish 4th, have a fan base that hates me and get put out in the first round by a team ranked 400 places ahead of me...is that what they want, everyone to tank? Tanking is already too rewarded...also this thing where teams can play with 3 or 4 players is silly, make them play with 5. I cant stand when I set a scrimmage and the other team shows up with 4 players...that is no fun to watch and I cant gauge my players and at no level in bball is it allowed.....Having said all this, I still love the game and hope they keep working to make it better....perhaps fixing those type things would be better than the silly guessing game we had during scrimmages where you guess what they will play and what pace...wth is that.
