"3. Delete utopia and move utopian teams to the less populated nations. Utopian teams can be useful to the game only if they contribute to fill it's weak spots."

I'm convinced this is a solution. It will add some competitiveness and should give to second teams an utility. I'd be one of the first to create a second team...and I guess that I m not alone. But it has been suggested before, and they don't want to remove utopia.

Utopian players would have a nationality and could play for NT, There would be more "second teams" options as today in utopia, so more money to create an app or commercials or whatever you want to get a pop in human players (...we begin to get close to 18.000!...)

Second Team:
Sunderland Boilermakers
If the fantasy tournament were removed I'd seriously consider the option to have a second team in a small nation. I guess it would be a great day in BB history: "The end of the alien's invasion."

Well said.

Also had some loose contact to a polish manager who claimed to have a working engine, but had no interest of developing it further.


Well, I did the fun part, just don't have the motivation to do the rest. As you can see, there's not much interest in these kind of games anymore.

Maybe an app takes too much time and money


It certainly takes much time if you don't do anything in that direction!

If you look up in the search result, you can see that it was already suggested in 2011. 6 years seems like eternity, yet I can't think of any big change in BB in that time. Which makes me wonder if haven't done more buzzerbeater related work than the actual BBs themselves... LOL

* game engine (modeled after the BB one)
* alternative game viewer app (for all major OS) - took me around 2 weeks (just in my free time), got it to the point where you could get all commentary and statistics in realtime. http://imgur.com/HGVdmFD
* 2 tool programs released to public
* few tools for my own use case
* prototype tool that calls up all players to NT, reads its skills and then removes them - no NT manager ever trusted me to run it with his account :)


By the way, I believe that no app, or even 5D game viewer will fix the current situation. You have to fix the root cause first:
1. no owner/management behind game
2. flawed game design

App/Ads bring players -> they see crap -> they leave.

There is not much interest in THIS game.

The niche still has enough potential to attract people. Maybe not enough to become the next Rockstar Games, but definitely enough to turn a good profit.
