I like your observations, Ubiond! :)

Is it just me or what, that I believe possibility of changing which links appear on the main menu left sidebar is a bigger (more convenient and useful) change than those extra staff and arena updates, nevertheless it is marked as a non significant one? :D

Nevermind, just some extra observations:
1) why those arenas look more like football stadiums to me? (open roofed and etc..) :DD
2) why do i need to click the button like 50 times to move right to the last arena design when there are only about 20 of them? (on mobile it is even more of a hell, cuz it is registered as a double-click meaning a zoom in/out function)
3) why we see extra blank white space in other teams' arenas?
4) why do i think that those 4mils will start paying off back to us in no less than 5 years ;D

This route looks like moving away from managing a basketball team. I think majority of us would agree on, that we are satisfied with the stage1 and dev's should stop at this stage.

And instead of futher developement they could focus on some more relevant issues, community is rising up in the forum. (there are many of them to choose from :D e.g. making pages load up quicker, rising the players' transfer list from stagnation, making possibilities for new teams to catch up with the old players quicker - instead of making the gap wider every day, or even making game more friendly with other media devices like phones) ;)

no a single bit of hate, only a friendly opinion, we all just want the game to improve the right way and direction! Have a nice day everyone. Will be looking for some more community funny comments with interersting comparisons :D

For me this is another huge disappointment. No needed at all, unfair because it creates differences between teams in terms of possibility to spend and whatever. Really, are these cosmetic features what this game needs to stay alive? If not (and yeah they're not), why don't you focus on something more productive?
I am disappointed because I care so much of this game and these kind of blind things are.. Crap. While we still have flash, no app, no mobile feasibility, no social, no massive advertising. No no no. Rip Amy winehouse.

Edit: just to clarify. It's not this feature but the way this game is being handled which I don't like. Random features with bad communication and especially without a clear direction. The feature itself is irrelevant to me, I even like the design which fits fine with the BB style. I don't like all the aspect but in a working and profitable game this would be an acceptable change to me.

Is this what we need? or what we deserve?
we don't need a big update on graphics and flash player? we don't need more publicity and visibiliy? someone or users themselves who spam bb everywhere? we don't need an android/os app?

Also, only old teams (not all) can afford this blind investment, what about new teams/users that are getting closed to the game?

p.s.: with these arenas if it rains is a big problem maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, but, if it's purple is fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvnYmWpD_T8

If I go into a restaurant and I do not like it (the food, the service, the place, the price, whatever ...) I do not come back anymore. There are many restaurants to choose from. Problem solved.

To enter each day in the same restaurant that you do not like or your food, or your service or your price, should be highly uncomfortable and really curious. Why maybe the problem is not the restaurant .....

Enjoy!

As for answering your first question, I have no idea if it is worth it. I did however upgrade my court for 0,2M out of curiosity and it seems like the next structure still remains within the full price of 0,5M. If the new feature is really an "upgrade", they should have allow us to build up the structure piece by piece. Imagine how would upgrade of seats look like following this logic... Paying every seat anew if expanding for 1000 seats? :O

There, now you know a bit more about the feature. :)

We all can criticise, but I think the smartest thing would be: make clear suggestions - what updates should they make and how it would impact the game.

Second thing: investing such money and not knowing return from this ? Prestige is winning trophies and training good players, not having a pic of arena, in which you invest a lot and you get "someting" in return?

First of all, i would like to say that all the effort put into improving this game is well appreciated. BUT, I dont think this game is moving to the right direction. With the current situation(users dropping rapidly each month), the bbs should focus on how to attract new players to the game or keep the newly signed ones. And I dont see how this update will achieve any of that, its a long-term investment with no tested results at the moment that is almost impossible(if not inadvisable) for any new manager to follow.

I've been reading the forums for quite some time now and i have witnessed some really good and innovating suggestions being turned down because 'that would increase the gap between old and new players'. Yet this update is the exact definition of increasing that gap. How and why would a new manager invest so much in a single untested upgrade when they havent actually managed to make the single first step of increasing the arena's capacity?

And why is this update a priority when there are so many major issues left unattended? Its clear to most of us(i believe among the bbs too), that a mobile app would be a huge breth of innovation to this game, it would definitely attract a whole lot of new users and prove to be a profitable move for the owners in the long run. Improvements in the staff mechanics, the transfer list, the training, etc would also help establishing a stable community.

Somehow all these issues are ignored and we get a 3 part arena update

P.S 1: Dont get me wrong, I know BuzzerBeater is a long-term investment game and this is what i love about it the most, but I think this is getting off -balance right now.

P.S 2: The sole purpose of writing this is my love for the game and my wish to develop a large community once more.
