The developers of this game do not have an unlimited budget to advertise.

Here is another reason:

What you should be asking yourself is, how come all of my friends and family aren't playing?

the viral advertising through forum works,but they(BB developers) cannot force it,spamming all the basketball forum in the worlds.You can invite some friends and starting from them,they will invite other friends,you can talk about the game in some forum,etc...

From what I understand this program is an offshoot of hattrick, the popular soccer/football game so a lot of the players here may have migrated from that game, or am I wrong?


I think this is the main reason :P

the last i checked the USA had over 4000 teams and they continue to climb in numbers. with bot cleanups and suspensions BuzzerBeater USA is still netting more players. i joined a little over a year ago ( real time) and the USA had about 2500 users.
dont know if BB USA will ever have 20,000 users but there are more and more teams each week. im happy with what we have but i welcome the competition.

It said so on the internet, so it must be true!

Wait, what about this?
According to a 2008 Harris Poll, American football is the number one sport in America, followed by baseball, then American collegiate football followed by auto racing, then hockey then pro and collegiate basketball along with golf are all tied.
