a free game


Well there is the problem. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" - at the end of the day, no matter if you do it as a volunteer or get paid (you get supporter for free tho), this is a product and the owners want sales.

Just because the owners are lazy and have "a real life" or "real jobs", you can say something like this. I myself get threatened by our clients every now and then and I still have to be polite and whatnot. That's part of the game.

The forum guys can be a bit confrontational but rarely out of order..

This is Buzzerbeater you are talking about, if you want 'customer service' you'd probably better off playing some xbox or something.

I never really think about a lot of issues when I play something, and I usually try to play within the framework of the way the game is set up. I see that as the challenge and that is what keeps me playing. I don't want the game any easier or harder, I want it exactly how it is because that's what everyone else* is dealing with too.

*-I realize this isn't entirely true but most of those things don't bother me, after all it is only an internet game.

However, the improvements that I've only ever beat my drum to are ones that don't have to do with the way the game is played but how it is presented to people that aren't currently playing. I've always been a proponent of an app no matter how simple and more effort in getting the game's name out there. I realize monetary issues play a part but I think more effort in that area could be done. Other than that, though, I play the game the way it is set up and enjoy doing that.

I would love to see an app too, in my opinion its the only way the game will last another 5 years, especially if it came with a few visual additions.

Great attitude to the game as well, of course it has problems but its still very enjoyable and the community of managers are (mostly) great people.. and that includes the EGMs, BBs etc

Shame that if you read the forums you would think the game is awful, not worth playing and on its last legs.

None is saying that, its great a game. Its the BB marin listening to the wrong people going the wrong way. This games should not be a training /trader games with taxes everywhere.. ,But a tactical managers game. If the manager cant understand iso and many tactic and it been out atleast 9 years. That does not make sense.

Any fool telling to restrict buying in the low leagues and add a tax all over the place and say it about training over all. is not your friends. This game was a beautiful things and still is some what.,BB market was not in shables like it is today.. I created my 2nd team around season 16-17 in my return.


You could buy who ever the hell you wanted too ,before then with my 1st team the same rules applied. Now they want restriction, added some training tax. all this unnessary bull. In my mind BB marin or whomever need too cut these guys off, they are the one's killing his profits and his game..

Fix the market before it too damn late, take on Li dominance or find a balance so the other tactics can be cost effective and work same as LI.. Im not saying its a easy fix but BB marnin need to tell these training over all clowns to shut the hell up for once. They are biggest flippers on the game.

this is a tactical game and alot just building 1-2 tactics and getting rich. Think about for this for minute .A outside shooting tactical player is very expensive. Think about the money in the market that could be made and the boost it can give to the bb market .. It too expensive to afford or yet build. BBMarin need to take his game back to it roots. "Tactics"

A app is good start to that.

Stop! Stop right there! If you stop right there, I'll agree with you 100%.

That may be a new high water mark for anyone's agreement with any of your posts.

I think you have every right to hope that the game goes in whatever direction you would like. I also know that this game's roots have always been as a training/management sim (back to BB-Charles' time in HT), not a game-day tactical sim. I don't personally see a way to do a really good pure tactical sim with thousands of users in the same competition (i.e., not a whole bunch of independent leagues without promotion/relegation) without the management side being involved.
