i know how ya feel buddy, I was bot promoted to Utopia d.3 after my first winning season with my Utopian team and 60k in salaries. I was outclassed by atleast 3x my salaries when i was promoted. No way in hell would i be able to acquire 120k in salaries with what i had. I was expecting to have another season or 2 in d.4 where i could continue to train and build my arena, but now i am forced to swallow a season of losing, less income and screwed up training minutes.
I spent every dime i got for promoting to try and get a couple guys who could atleast help me not lose every game and i have pulled out 1 win atleast so far. Luckily i feel like i can out coach most managers otherwise i would likely quit as a result as it is a pretty stupid situation to put a team in. I've had 2 guys invited and join in the last 3 months and they both quit after 2-3 days because they couldn't afford players or staff and found the game boring and overly favorable to vets.
Buzzerbeater is going to die based solely on the fact they refuse to change the problems with the game and instead just keep adding stupid features that have no point to the game. One end all be all way to win, one end all be all way to train, one end all be all way to make money. I question how anyone can wonder why this game is struggling to keep users when one looks at all the issues that have plagued the game in recent seasons and then you look at what the devs are actually doing to fix it....they are doing nothing to fix the problems with the game, they just keep polishing a turd by adding features like a custom graphic for your court, sure its neat and all but id rather see them fix the issues plaguing the game then keep doing cosmetic things that only seek to distract the populace from the real issues at hand
