I joined BB at the end of Season 15, and quickly became very interested in the game. The community was one like no other, and the amount of knowledge that was and is needed to beome successful quickly got me hooked (I had never played a sports sim like this prior to that time). Although, in my now close to four full seasons of play, one thing I noticed is that even though on the community page it says
The world of BuzzerBeater is continually growing.
it has never been able to pass 50k users, and is actually slowly decreasing in the amount of users. There are some obvious reasons on why people are leaving, with the increase in tanking, lack of new features (although they are beginning to develop new features again), and the crash of of Transfer market, but I feel like those three things can't be enough to make most people quit. So the question I pose to you guys is WHY else are users leaving and WHAT can we as a community do to increase the number of users so the statement they make on the community page will actually be true. I love this game, and it would be a shame to keep seeing the number of users decrease. So get to it!

+1 I totally agree man but unfortunanly I can't give you any answers, I love the game, and if you play it right you can do well.For example I joined the beginning of this season and with common sense moves I have a realistic chance to promote to IV this weekend.

Honestly I don't expect to come out with any really good ideas from this thread, but who knows? Maybe there is some guy lurking around the forums who will make his first post ever and save BB, haha. Just so you know Jack when I joined I clearly remember there being about 3,500 American users, and about a season later that number dropped down almost 1,000. Lately the US has been increasing again though, which is a good sign. Hopefully people stick around.

Do continue the development and user count of BuzzerBeater, we must advertise this game across the internet to generate hype and traffic towards this game. Hopefully this will translate into a wealth of new players to reinvigorate this game and provide new features for the users.

P.S Give me some likes please. I really don't understand why I never receive any. :)

We do not give you likes because you come up with the worst ideas ever :>/ Just kidding I completely agree. Only problem is you have to spend money to advertise, and I'm not sure how much they would be willing to spend.

He's one thing that can drive people out; they keep on having bad season after bad season after bad season and continuously geting bad drafts. On my league page a new team was created and they only are staying cause the team before them gave them a better record; my analisis os that the better record the team has at the start, more confidence and likeing they have to this game= they want to stay. Who's with me; isn't about 20% of the teams created get a good record to start with? And isn't the 99% of that 20 stay?

I remember a couple months ago we had >50k users for a month or two and just this past month we have been decreasing. We should have a set date where everyone puts there Facebook status or Twitter or whatever as a link to BB and telling everyone how awesome this game is.
If we have like 50 people doing that with atleast 300 friends each that will lead to 15k people seeing that status, lets say half are girls, 7,500 left, lets say the other half are emo or just dont like sports, leaves us with 3,750 and lets say the other half dont like games leaves us with 1,875.
Out of 1875 lets say 1k of them wont know how to sign up, 500 wont know how to manage their team.
Gives us 375 people. Those last people will probably get past the first day of sign up but only 8 of them will only stay longer than a few months!
And 1 or 2 like us that will stay for a couple years.
I have come to the Conclusion that know one will waste their time reading all this other than SREZ because he has nothing better to do(I love you SREZ) and we probably wont get any more users than 50k. :)

+1 If You Agree

That's a very bleak outlook. And Sharon from the NBBA is a girl who plays BB.

Let's say the other half are emo or just dont like sports

I'm emo and I like sports. I HATE LIFE! UGH, Imma go cut myself now because for some reason I see that as a solid way to distinguish myself from the rest of my classmates, like dressing in all black and piercing every part of my body isn't enough.

I love you SREZ

I think our feelings for eachother may differ a bit...

I have come to the Conclusion that know one will waste their time reading all this other than SREZ

You're probably right on that one :P

Overall after this post I probably just completely ruined this conversation, haha :D
