The newcomers would still have to read 40 pages of rules, good luck with that.


and they will get abused by old and established teams. we need to place new teams in bot leagues, BEFORE an app goes live.

Definitely agree with you here, who wants to sign up to a new management game to possibly lose for their whole first season, possibly longer, which is 3months+ in real time..

I was lucky to get into a league where we were all new players so it was competitive but the first ones to quit were the ones who came in later that season who had no chance of competing.

for peeps i've asked for playing BB, 70% of them ask me back, what's the App names on Googleplay/AppStore?

Champions are those who kept fighting till the end. Even if we lost, we are still the Champion. "The Queen - We Are The Champions"

I am sure the App will happen, when Apps are about to become obsolete again. Really poor job on this so far...

It's really tough for BB to make this app because they don't have unlimited resources, or even a lot of resources (from what I've assumed).

I am with everyone 100% when they say Bb needs an app, but they also can't just snap their fingers and make an app. Hopefully it will be done soon, but we as users have to understand that things like this takes time.

Utopia money would have been more than enough to get the app done.

Re-read what he wrote. He said "resources", not money. I believe it is very important to understand that there is a huge difference between resources and money. BB may have enough money to produce an app (although I would still prefer to wait longer for a very good app, then get a below average app, using the money they have now, if it is not sufficient for a good app), but resources are different.

From BB-Marin earlier in this thread:
We know there are lots of people which offered to help us with the development of BB for free and this would be a chance to prove that they meant business. They would get some kind of reward, surely, we're not robots

That's why we are considering outsourcing the app to the community and interested devs as a semi open source thing but the greatest obstacle, as has already been said, was code and data access. We don't want developers to be able to gain ingame advantage due to their work on the app.

The only possible solution I thought of so far would be a tight cooperation between the devs and us, where we'd need to build a platform which would give the devs the needed data for their work without giving too much away. It would be a slow and painful process but could be basically essential for the survival of the game in the long run.

I'm open to suggestions (if you don't mind me hijacking this thread) on how to do this, especially from people who have information on how this is kind of thing is usually done. I can also make this more official once we get the general idea on how to do this.


It seems more like BB lacks the workers/developers in order to make this app while maintaining the in-game integrity of BuzzerBeater, as they do not want workers to gain an advantage from helping out with the app. Money is not the issue.

If money wasn't issue, they'd outsource it to professionals. Marin post clearly says - we don't have/don't want to spend money, looking for someone to do it for "free".

For me, the BB looks completely mismanaged. Someone is just letting this boat float, while it still generates money.
