What to do to increase the amount of users?

When I start playing this game there was around 56k players/users/managers now from season to season the amount is less.

What do You think we(users, BBs) should do with it.

You can talk about the game where it can interest people:
-on basketball related forums
-on video games related forums (that's what we try to do in France)

Or other things you might think of ;)

I guess it's the poor game design, lack of development, no communication with BBs. Focusing now on advertisment has no sense, bb will eventually just loose current users, and the new ones will leave as soon as they find out the problems with this game.

Fix the game, then advertise.

Which raises the question, why are you still playing this game 10 seasons deep when you find it so terrible?

While they have some issues iron out, I think the game design is one of their huge strengths.

I think the main problem is that most of the people don't want to stick to it. I've been playing for 12 seasons now, but for 3 seasons I almost didn't set up the lineup and played with the default lineup. I logged every now and then just not to lose my account. That's because I had some real life problems and got a bit bored of the game.

I think most of the people play 1 or 2 seasons tops, and then they quit. I invited 5 friends, and that happened to 4 of them.

PS: I like the live game-viewer on an Android 4.0 device. When the upgrade to 4.1 comes to my device, that will be gone - no more Flash support. That's a matter of weeks now.

Hopefully someone will release an app in order to use flash again.
