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.

Understandable but sad news all the same mate.

Your points have nothing to do with two users

I just enjoy the game more than you even if it is difficult for you to accept that.

Of course they have. Being eliminated from the cup in the first round falls in the "no chance to win for 1 straight season"-category and no pops on a 18yo fall in the "training is too slow"-category.

I have no problem with anybody who still enjoys and loves this game. I wish I was you, but I have had enough of lame excuses and being bullshitted by staff and ownership.

Example: new team get a franchise player, 18yo All-Star. Sounds AWESOME, I LOVE IT.

Started a new Utopia team and got a guy with low skills, worth around 1k on the transfer market. Garbage player, I hate it. Frustration kicks in.

There are dozens of examples, that are frustrating to the new and long tenured user, many suggestions have been made and we get to read the same old mantras "no money", "no time", "no staff"... It get's boring. Why is it that frustrating? Because there is no alternative game - if there was, I would have left years ago.

Comparing the game to hattrick is a bit odd, as the football manager game market is crowded like hell - so all those "manager games are not attractive anymore"-stuff is bs too. Plus: such games are appealing to older audiences. People that make their own money and can spend more on stuff they enjoy.

Smaller target audience with more money, hm...

Then what I don't understand is why you don't develop your own basketball management game, maybe with other displeased users like YellowCake Gullyfoyle and Lemonshine and others (since they are very active about this)

Just a small point. You seem to think I don't enjoy buzzerbeater. I don't blame you, I think that's my fault. Its certainly not the case. I am certainly displeased, as you say, about some things, and some members of staff. The thing is though, if I didn't like buzzerbeater, I wouldn't comment at all.

Why I'm especially active recently, and possibly so negative, is because I believe that some changes coming are not going to improve the game; but instead, not just make it worse, but threaten its viability.

Cry me a river Teemo. :`-(

Hey when you have calmed down, I might decide to explain a few things you clearly didn't consider or decided to ignore. I have no interest getting banned because you lost it this time though.

With just you, it's not worth it and in the meantime we're going to enjoy the extraordinary irony of all the negativity and complaining coming from those getting upset by negativity and complaining, lmfao :D
