I think with a little bit of work, they could expose the game "stream" through the API and if they did some ambitious manager(s) would be able to write a non-flash game viewer which would go a long way to helping the game be more mobile. As it currently stands, there is enough information available right now outside of the API that I could come close to doing this even without any API changes if I had more time and ambition on my hands.

They could also expose submitting a lineup through the API, but that's more difficult in the sense that the API as it is currently designed is set up to retrieve information and not submit it. So a little extra work would need to be put into ensuring the security that only a team manager can submit for a team.

1) The forum moderators aren't super polished. Sorry guys, and I'm probably going to get in trouble for this, but they've historically not been great at creating or encouraging conversation.

Completely agree, moderators should keep the game funny around forums, not just appearing in bad moments but creating good ones.

If this game sucks so much for you and you have that much of an issue that you are writing in the forums about how you hate this game, why are you still playing?

Yeah but they have some pretty flashy graphics on that game

Season 43 is my 24th season. I’ve had very little success in the game, have failed training a few players, lost crucial games by outcoaching myself, overspending on players, etc etc. the point is I’m still here and I don’t plan on leaving the site either. Sure, there’s plenty to be improved, and the user numbers are going down, but it’s nothing super alarming at the moment. I’m fairly confident many managers feel the same way as me.. successful or not. There will be the core group of users here and that should be enough to keep up the site. It’s not perfect, there are issues such as design flaws & flash still being used, but overall it does a great job of being a basketball simulation game. Sure the numbers are a tad concerning and I haven’t been given any reason to believe that will change for the better in the immediate future, but I believe there’s a good core group of players who will be around here for a while and keep the site going.

Good positive thinking! +1
