if those changes were complicated/difficult, I would say leave it as is.

I would say replace the developer(s) instead and get someone who's able to get the job done.

Well that would be a businessmans solution. This is no business but a charity.

I started playing in the middle of the last season (although I played from season 3 til season 25 also, but got tired and went bot). In my opinion the starting assets are quite okay. I got 1 decent player (although I would admit, that the potential could be 1 or 2 levels higher, for this to be useful), bought couple more youngsters from market, trained em. From draft got one somewhat decent player, who probably sells for around 500k. Right now I have assets for about 1 decent player to buy from market. In 2 to 3 next seasons my trainees will be ready to compete for the spot in the II. div and by that time I have collected plenty of assets to buy them proper team-mates.

Right now I am fighting in Div. III and I can't say it is boring, yes there are some games I am not even trying to win, but on the other hand, there is a lot of games that I am capable of winning and it is quite interesting for me to figure out strategies for biting the much higher salary teams.

It is how it is in real life, you build your team from youngsters, trying to bite the "bigger teams" more and more, until you finally can bite em all.

You are a good example of a veteran user starting again from zero, so you know enough of the game to rebuild your team
But new users with zero experience are having more troubles and that' s the reason some things have to be changed so they can understand the game sooner and have enough fun to make them stay.

In my opinion the starting assets are quite okay.

If you are only referring to the money - this might be true for teams that start in lower divisions, if you start in DIV II or even higher its not enough. If we include the 18yo All-Star, that should/could become the franchise cornerstone, the starting assets are laughable, the guy I got in Utopia is worth 1k after one season of training. Does not make me enjoy the game particularily.

Well you also produce more assets every week. I have currently played 1 season total and I have enough assets to buy atleast 1 decent player,whos age is in the prime (25-27), although right now I spent half of it on arena. In general, with current market situation, if I could make another team for example in Portugal league, which isn't in my opinion considered as micronation, I would accept challenge to rise from div. IV to div. I in 3 seasons, I think it is completely possible, although not with very long term strategy, definitely would be possible to rise to div. II, in 2 seasons and stay competetive while training new guys.

Similar to whats been said before and you're absolutely spot on.

Whatever anyone says about changing the game itself, the real issue is that games like BB just don't have a big draw in this day and age.

Nevertheless, BB is still AMAZING!!!! playing it since season 3 and i hope to play many more seasons to come!!!


the day and age of the Thumbdumb slaves...

As Sadhguru say: the only smart thing about a lot of people, is their smartphone...

Well, since there are so many Portuguese people around, and I see some good conclusions about the real world and smarthphones, I will say this:

BB needs mobile App ASAP!

In this days, everybody uses and abuses smarthphones, and this tendencies will only get worse. Every site/game/product is having its own App, BB needs to do the same!
Having a really though time navigating trough BB website on phones and tablets is a great reason to stop playing this game on my opinion. And having a clean and simple nice App to make tactics and check market is a great way to make people join the game.

It's time to get the App going

Well, I don't really know how you can say that honestly
I'm lucky to spend most of my day on a computer. If not, I would have lots of trouble playing the game.
From opening chrome and writing buzzerbeater, hitting login button, zooming in to hit the Menus for my calendar or something else...
I think a Pool to the question "How would you rate your experience using BB on your smartphone?", from 1 to 5 for example, people would average 2 most likely

overall BB Apps is the best way to get new players too...
