Spicy Sparks is best known for the music streaming app eSound Music, but also has experience developing online games in the past. Feel free to check out the Spicy Sparks website https://spicysparks.com and get to know them better.


Welcome to the new owners. I would be delighted to see some UI and UX changes to the game. But I have a few questions.

While the announcement mentions game development experience of the company, there are no games mentioned in the company website. What are these games and what happened to them?

I downloaded the eSound app and I am really concerned about the UI similarities with spotify. Is the plan for buzzerbeater to be so heavily inspired (trying to be polite here) by other projects? That would put the long term survival of the game into uncharted waters from a legal perspective.

Many UI elements of the eSound app are freezing constantly on Android. Is this a short term issue you are dealing with, or is this happening for an extended period of time?

Many reviews on the Android app store are claiming that the eSound App starts with zero ads for new users, but soon afterwards the user is shown blocking ads (e.g. ads between songs). Buzzerbeater currently has no obstructive ads for free users. Is your plan similar for this game?

I hope it doesn't turn out like Hatrick in the football manager game? Supporter prices skyrocketed and most of them stopped ! Me too ! Hatrick 2006-2019 ???Perhaps BB 2008-2024 ???


Precisely my sentiment!
Many changes in Hattrick were pay to win (the ladders, the arena, etc..)
Fortunatelly, Hattrick returned to its previous owners... yet some of those money seeking changes persist.

Again, I hope things improve for the better, but we all will be watching closely.


If they make BB pay-to-win it will be the death of the game, the game is too slow for those who have pay-to-win mentality and people who love BB don't have the mentality of paying to win. This will be a total lose-lose situation, it won't bring new users and will definitely alienate current users.

If I had to chose I'd rather chose Buzzerbeater with slow servers and site instability than playing a fast pay-to-win Buzzerbeater.

Unpopular opinion.

If it brings more players. I am up for anything. This game used to have a 5th division in some countries. I don't want to be bragging about my BB accomplishments to the same 10 guys for the next 20 years. When I came back 3 years ago I was honestly shocked this game was even still being played. (Majority of UI on the site didn't change in 7 years.)

I imagine the game was sold for a reason. We are an ungrateful lot that make it hard on BBs... Change something, "HOW COULD YOU!?" Don't change anything, "DO THE OWNERS EVEN CARE ANYMORE?!"

Just cause we came here first doesn't mean we have a right to have things our way.

Nothing has even changed yet. All I see is new folks that are passionate about our favorite game. This is a win to me.

the heart of the game will remain unchanged
Let's wait and see, but there is no doubt that there will be earth-shaking changes.
I have been playing since season 24, I love this slow, strange game. I hope this game will not become impetuous and simple, and eventually drive away most of the old players.
Finally, congratulations to Marin and Justin and all developers, you created this magical land.

How can you make it p2w now after all these years? paying real money for broken players like Top Eleven?
BB is not that active, making it p2w is basically taking this game to the grave
