Wouldn't everyone benefit from more users in the game? I'd gladly try to get users without any personal gain.
Guess everyone's different though.


I can only promote something, that I am supporting 100%, or unless someone pays me for doing promo. As both things are not the case - I have posted regarding the different areas I think this game needs (a) change(s) - and I won't get paid, I will not advertise. I don't feel this should make me feel guilty.

As I pay for supporter AND a second team, I assume some of those funds are perfectly used for advertising. Plus you still have the donations you are using for advertising.

I will always recommend cool things, fun things, good restaurants to people I know. What I won't do is recommend something that is outdated and TBH, not very fun. I used to go to the suggestion forum with some good ideas but after awhile, it felt like I was wasting my breath.
For example....I had a friend join and after two weeks of no pops from his training, he quit. People want to see progress, why is there no decimals on the skill levels? I told him his players were getting better, but like Trump and his 3-5 million illegal voter comment...with no proof, why believe him/me?
My friend in America joined 5 weeks ago, why did he quit?......Cup Draw....When you see bots playing bots and you draw one of the best teams in the country, you get a little fed up as he put it.
Why are the cups not seeded? It would get rid of the bots in one or two weeks. This was suggested 20 seasons ago....NO ACTION!!!
Merge the micros!!!
And the worst thing is the GMs and BBs who defend this game like the Trump surrogates defend him. You know the game is a mess, you know what needs to be fixed....But all we see on the forums from you guys is HOW GREAT THE GAME IS, HOW WE ARE DOING THINGS TO MAKE IT BETTER.......REALLY??? Actions speak louder than words...

They have got the patience of a 6-years old child, and even if all suggestions of the forum would have been implemented they would have quit fast because of a 2 weeks injury, a bad draft or because they lost a bidwar, whatever.


Thats just random gibberish in my opinion. Get real please.

People want a game that has a flat learning curve, encourages them from the beginning and makes fun in the long term. Any idiot with experience should see, that new users go bot in masses, mostly because:

1. they get gang-raped every single game for at least 1 season
2. they cannot participate in the transfer market
3. the game looks old as fcuk - an app is long overdue
4. useful suggestions are shot down
5. many rules and restrictions limit the options of how to play the game
6. training has always been pointless and too slow - loose FA policy covered that up pretty well
7. the owners are ghosts and staff cannot give any insight on possible changes

The list can surely be extended by another 10-20 points...

I have to disagree. If people feel like they are wasting their time, they will quit and find something more interesting. And the things you listed are down to bad luck not the game lacking in something that could be implemented to make it a better game. How is losing a bid war the same as not seeing a pop for two or three weeks? Sorry...not the same.
This game is advancing at a snails pace and it is 2017....that has to be worrying to everyone.....And sorry if I don't take your post serious...you are an LA which means you can't say anything bad about the game...I used to be a LA, and I too had to defend THE GAME even though I knew it was a mess.

Let's look at some technology from when I started playing this game to now.
I am a cyclist. When I started playing this game, I used to ride a decent set of rollers in my house on rainy days(couldn't train outside) listening to music or watching video. Now since last year, I have a smart trainer that links to my computer with bluetooth and I race people all over the world on a virtual island in a program called Zwift. When there is a hill , the program tells my trainer there is a hill. It can even simulate 20% gradients and 2200 watt sprints. I don't turn any knobs, I just shift my gears on my bike like I would outside. That is day and night in just 8 years.
And we are still using the game engine from season 12 in season 37. Is this a joke? When was the last time we had new tactics? This game is just spinning it wheels and going no where. I bet if the users stop paying for supporter or the fools who are donating would stop, I bet things would speed up a bit.

Great post as always.
It seems users like you are fighting for the game more than the BB staff.

I am right in the middle of quitting - just selling my players off and will leave for good. This game was one of the best I played, unfortunately it has become a huge waste of time and nerves.

I seriously doubt I will be playing this game past next season. It will be summer, I will have training, racing, sunshine, better things to do. At least if they had an APP, I could just check in while sitting on the crapper.
In 2009-2012 was this games golden era, now it is like the walking dead. Just pockets of users scattered across the world.
