but in my opinion, if we have a BB apps, lot of us gonna get this one...so BB Apps gonna appear in the ranking of mobile store (Android, Apple...)
So maybe we can get news user from that...
Thats a long guess. not to mention, not everyone has a smartphone. i know atleast 5 BB users who don't have a smart phone. they prefer the old ones which can't break :/ i personally couldn't live without a smartphone anymore (agenda, communication, ...)
That being said, since we are discussing the advantage of a BB app, just keep this in mind:
what would you prefer? BB making a BB app or the BBs working on ways to actually try to improve this game?
When i use my smartphone (one plus 3) i can open BB and access everything. sure i generally have to click twice and end up misclicking the menu i want every now and then, but the point is that it can be done. It is convenient? not really. is it slow? not really unless my internectconnection is reduced to edge instead of 4G/3G.
*) So can one play on his smartphone? yes
*)is it enjoyable experience? takes getting used to, but it's not fun to start out with, so i guess i'll angle towards a no for this question
*) is it worth to invest time and resources into potentially making an app to please part of the community, instead of investing that cash in proper adds or trying to get some visibility by sponsoring the right events? Not really.
Creating an app would be pleasing the community, which i'm not say shouldn't be considered, but in my oppinion there are more pressing issues.
And assuming we would rise in the rankings (if everyone downloads the BB app in the first week, we'll have what? 18k downloads) that doesn't get you into the top 100 worldwide for a weekly download. so it's a longshot at best
the fact is in 2017, nobody on internet is looking for Manager games...
part of you is right. what everyone wants is instant gratification. that means instant rewards or atleast seeing that you are visibly making progress. that is why some other simulation games are becoming popular. however, once people reach the top in those games, there is no variation. in BB, you can train for U21/NT's (manage them aswell) there is a B3 competition. you can try to win the league with a team full of players from your own nation, etc etc. there are many things to do and many goals to strive for. In those other games, you either get to the top very fast, or get stuck along the way, with very little alternatives. also, always going for the same title, training the same skillset, gets boring after a while. i've played plenty of other simulation games. BB is the only one which i don't get bored with after playing it for over a year (been playing it for 9 years now).
BB doesn't offer instant gratification. it requires planning (who will a train? what skills do i want on him, does he fit in my team, what team identity do i want, etc) tactical knowlege, financial management, etc. all things which aren't implemented / though out aswell as in BB.
is BB an idea game? hell no. there are many improvements that can be made. However, one needs to have the resources to do provide improvements.
So right now, the BBs have to decide what they want to focus on. in the announcement, they've put forth that they are working on attempting to solve the micronations problem. that topic alone has been a heated debate and thus requires a very carefull and delicate approach. they also could have just removed the nations with lesser users and tell the users to sign up in other countries. but i doubt that would have been well received by the community ;)
