BuzzerBeater Forums

Online user base companies need users to grow. you think the game needs to improve in order to get more users (I agree but unlike you I won't prioritize BB work)

Such companies such as BuzzerBeater can get more users if their user value increase. User value is determine by how much money each user is worth.

My suggestion enable BB to increase user value which will enable BB to get more users if they will like it.

I must say that virtual currency is not a simple business model, not a lot of companies successed in it, but it might work.
This requires some real research from BB in case they will think about it.

That's fair.
But the magic is to use the right triggers and have the right features.
I wouldn't like to see supporter features as virtual currency, but I might spend a buck to have a barber for my team and change their hair style once in a while...

I bet BB would appreciate every increase in user value.
The thing that make me think this suggestion might work is the fact that lot's of managers are really engage to this game just as you described.

1) Your night is very short as you return from "out for the day" quite quickly...

And now more seriously;
2) There are a variety of business models. The thing is to find one that is relevant to the business itself...
This suggestion will do no good for this business, and as you stated this model does not work really good as it is...

Usually a suggestion is not stating a model or an option, but connecting and explaining how it fits to the relevant business / game / feature (in case it enhances it).

Just like Manon, I don't like these kind of currencies in general, but it would certainly bring money to the game. The supporter system could be replaced by this currency (which would allow other things though) as long as one can have what we have today for the same price... And as long super rewards remains a way to earn some of this currency!

You know that the benefit of a feature is not just judged upon its income but also for the investment it cost and what it could by instead for creating other revenue.

For example, the decrease in the community base (which is parallel to the decrease of supporters I presume) is something that worth much more investment than at this feature.

I said I am done with you for today and I stopped answering to your topics but surprise surprise you ended up here...

This is a game related suggestion and this is the place to suggest it to BB.
As owners of this business they are responsible to evaluate this suggestion / business model if they think it's interesting.
I am honest enough say all I know about this suggestion, the good and the bad.

Most chances this suggestion won't be implemented, at least not anytime soon as it requires some research and development, but hey, it's a thought and crazier things had happen...

To sum it up: Increase user value is something that can really contribute to this game as I see it. Virtual currency is one way to achieve it. Maybe...

i think this could be an excellent suggestion

if the current game is left totally unchanged and all these "extras" were new features that were added 2 the game

so 4 ur buzzer-beater-bucks u could buy

image changing things
* new haircut as suggested
* duy ur hair
* a tatt
* goggles/face mask
* headband
* scars

naming things
* give ur player a nickname that will be in " quotation marks" between their 1st & 2nd names - just need 2 have a warning that offensive 1s will be removed w no refund
* name a draft pick (could only be done in the first week of the season while their DMI was still 0 just like renaming teams)
* name ur team sponsor
* naming rights 2 a league 4 a season (ist come first served & would need to be expensive in the top leagues) this happens all the time in real sport so instead of "div 3/6" it would be the "div 3/6 mcdonalds championship"

other graphical things
* team uniform been waiting 4 ever 4 this
* homecourt design that would be displayed in the viewer during games
* cheerleader pics (but need 2 be careful 1 basketball game has these & they r virtually porn)
* coach
* manager

maybe some of these ideas r bad but just off the top of my fishy brain there r lots of things that could be used 2 make bb more $$$ that wouldnt affect play balance @ all
