I have been following this post for a while and would like to add a little bit. This game needs a better start up message and tutorial or something to help people get started. If I did not spend a long time going through the guide on the forum I would of quit quickly. Two things kept me in the game. The first was Beanerz who sent me a welcome and mentored me early on. The second was an 18 year old MVP that I was given to start. Training him into an ok player and learning as I went was what made this game fun for me. If I had gotten all scrubs I may not have been as interested. Simply put I think a mentoring system or improved tutorial to start; plus a decent potential player would help a bit with user retention.



I also agree to this one. When I got started, it took about a season and a half of going through the forums literally everyday to understand stuff about how the game works. It's hard, especially teams in countries with low numbers of users

So I suggest that the game evolves a little bit backwards to the state it used to be in, where the training of players, "strategy" is a more obviously a better choice than the buying in of "geriatrics strategy"


Best part of the game IMO
Should be worth more as you say

If Managers are "involved" in the process of training players, I believe are more likely to develop an attachment to them and their team as opposed to Managers who just buy and sell players.

Plus its more enjoyable

You know why that is, right? Since it's the most fun part of this game managers will always train more than necessary. Because of this, and NT hopefuls, buying your team is the easiest road to success.

Interesting to read that training was quicker when the game first started and that most of the players in the game are long term and not more recent joining......I'd love to see some stats on % drop out of players from BB when training was faster v now when slower.....the most exciting day of the week is Friday to see if my trainees popped! When I first started I trained 1 on 1 team and every week saw like 7 pops was really exciting! Unfortunately I realised that to produce good players I had to train just 3 players and see only 1 or 2 pops a week! Much less rewarding short term.....

Does anyone know what the financials are for Buzzerbeater the business?

How much does supporter bring in?
How much is received in advertising?
What are the expenses?
How much is owing?



Notice that no one has any thoughts on my previous post (above)

Would be really interesting to know the ins and outs of the financials of the game

You can post it over and over, if nobody here know the numbers, you will not have an answer on that subject.



True but we could all have fun speculating

One might be able to guess the supporter income. I know roughly how many are Supporters in here and how many active managers there are. We could assign that % of supporter to total managers in he world and get a figure and then work out the supporter income. If one was interested and could be bothered doing the maths. But then their is advertising and costs would be unknown.
