That was 6 months ago and we were asking for the app since 2012. Real talk

Everything is a process. A large addition to BB such as an app is not created over night. It takes a long time. As you stated, it has been brought up a lot since 2012, but I feel like it has not been well thought out/looked into with depth until the beginning of this year to be honest. With that being said, complaining about how an app has not been created yet does speed along the process. If you are concerned about the app being made sooner than later, make suggestions, get people together to talk about it, message Marin with some ideas, do something beneficial. I know it is a lot easier to ask for an app to be made and expect one to be created right away, and I too want an app sooner than later, but it is unfair to the BBs to say:

"The second team feature made enough money to get the App done - where is it?"

I don't think what he said was out of line. This game is made to make money as well. So he has a very good valid point.


He is a customer same as you and me an everyone else. why insult him or pick a part his concern?? He want more results than you for BB, because you seem so content with BB no new feature change needed.

Respect his opinion, even if you don't respect the man who speak it.

I think BB need to get with the times. 40$ for online only game is not attractive lower the price points. Have some kind of discount sales, black Friday half price supporter . Christmas is coming up why not half price 1 yrs supporters in a short discount sale?

2 years of supporter 40$ on limted sale. Its very attractive. I'm be honest with I dont see any reason to open my wallet for BB. I like the game a lot but at I dont see a real reason to open my wallet.? Show me some saving?

That not gloom and doom or being negative, BB is a business created on real money they need to try act like a business, and have sales. Offer discounts directly Not join this other unknown web site an you get% off Bb supporters. NO !!>I don't care about that other site.

BB need show some strength in marketing. Yes it hard but you need to show saving in order to get people excited in your product. If it about money then people have no problem with it, look at second team sales. A lot would buy supporters it was offered for 10-20$ directly trust me. A lot would be stacking on that offer. Money is needed for BB, more better things for BB in fixes. An bigger paying community


But before I pay fix the dang tactics, if a sale is the way to get that done then get to having one. :)

You missed my point by a long mile.

Its not the point sales are being make everyday its the point 40$ is not attractive everyday for everyone.. some people have budgets and you have reach their budgets. Its not about BB being free. its about making those free supporter one day.. bringing that free player to supporter revenue thus keep them staying coming back.

Keep players renewing/ playing, in small creating profits.?


Are You against making a profits? are you versus BB having discounts sales. Are you versus BB turning free players to supporters?? If not, what's the point of your rebuttal?? Like it or not BB is a business venture for revenue,what goes on in BB does not happens for free. Its a free game but its not free to operate// let me make that part clear.

I can play for free all day long at Bb expense but if bb is smart they should try to get me to support some how.( ring bells) Sale/discount open people wallets, it gets people to talking to other to join during in those times , its get people to joining. It get people to supporting, spreading the word people like value an saving . A managers may not have 40$ at the time or all the time ,but they may have 20$ and BB has a discount sale,he can support.( rings bell)

By them doing that things get fixed much quicker( making revenue). Understand the concept.. Just like when they had 50K users, they got things fixed . remember r&g. motion etc etc.?? They fix those things when the money was rolling in more faster> That my point?

Your problem with that is what? If want I pay them/support them and they create fixes.. why the issues.. I'll play for free if it broken.. Again where are my saving?

Alot of what you say depends on marketing. What bb owners do out side BB for work is a non the factor in this.

Ads works both ways. You don't need a app to do that. you need facebook , twitter. twitch tv .. differ social aspects( avenue) to broaden the appeal . BB is a brand, its make money regardless of what the owners do for a actual living. Again it BB is made to make money, because it take money to run. beinf free is go way to bring folks in.

No sale is gaurenteed profit, but a discount sale is a way to attain differ budgets to affords to create sales.. If things are in decline you need to adjust your budget to afford lower the price point in a sale. It already proven alot want to support with 2nd team sales.

How many comes in depends on BB audience its trying to reach. NO one can predict that . same for the 20 k here already. People are going to leave all the time. just like any store. but you want them to buy something, How many buys depends on price point an what your offering . How you present it.

If we all talk to our friends then we'd get quite a few more users.
I think it would be a big boost.


Sorry it is just a ant job; this is the game's developper job.
They are responible of the weak amount of managers, how India has about 30 managers out of more than 1 billion people, no championship in Bengladesh, look at the bigger countries in the world look at the number of managers the potential is here, we are talking about countries over 100 million preople
Indonesia 1.2billion, 68 coaches. Brazil (basketball country) 346 users for 200 million, Pakistan 0 for 200 million, Nigeria 11 for 200 million....aso you can check every big country outside Europe the ratio is ridiculous
..this game is centered on Europe and the US, work on Asia and Africa you will easily double the population here (i think maybe triple). The game go boring as the market is rotten these times.

1300 Utopia teams equal $65.000.

I don't make that type of money and I guess that running the site does not cost more than that. So basically Utopia was a quick cash grab, nothing more nothing less. Tweaking some numbers in an existing code cannot be that expensive.
