the fact that the game excist for 28 seasons has lead to a growing problem... trucloads of money! The high prices of players are quite demotivating for new players, so maybe some new features for spending money should be introduced. (Think of training facility or other buildings?)

I think this is a very good point. To add to that, Arenas are a nice aspect to the game as a "long-term" investment, but after so many seasons, a player is done building his arena and basically "won" that aspect of the game. It doesn't necessarily take good management for one's arena to be big - just time, which, in a way, gives an unfair advantage to people who have been around longer. Adding newer and newer elements to invest in is a good idea.

I think an alternative to that is to somehow create a "maintenance fee" for the arena that is directly proportional to the size of the arena or maybe just have like 1.2% of arena seats self-destruct each season and leave it up to the manager whether he would like to rebuild those seats or not.

Man I don't where to start. Im going to respect your stance perspective and opinion. At same time some telling me to say your so full it.. No such things as playing cheap. Manager like you are the reason why they are adding these restrict and why people are leaving. The reason why old are not worth a damn anymore and 18-19 youth are going for 1-2 million I started in season 15 the same saps today you could get for 100K tops. I saw a guy that was 23 yrs old and selling for 4 million.

Let ask you who the hell can afford it.? The game is build on youth for the future right.?? training??

Im going to say this one time. The diversity of the market for tactic's play is not worth it salt. Send me 5 guys with the proper skill to play motion up 105 pts a game.>>?? send me 5 guys with proper skills to play push the ball up to 100 ppg . You know what you cant, and neither can any other on the game. also neither can I because these players doesn't exist!!. its just mix blend of talent of what you or I anyone think that works

You can sit here talking about training is the way . training is the future. Then here in the hell are these diverse players for tactic play if training is so important. If every dang player at 21/25yrs old is 4- 7 million+ that 20-40 million just to field 5 men and you need 10 . Cheap you say. I been on this game for a good while. I have amassed 16 million, im not bragging here and that's out my range. Now if it cost 20 million just field a high skilled young team to start how much do think it going to cost to keep that team.?? In 2-3 season you need a bank rolls of about 25 million maybe more than that. Thats not even going for B3..

Anybody can go buy players for cheap, anybody can train and build monster. but for 4 million before 23 yrs old. It wont come cheap to buy it , To sit here and they are cheap no.. Its a managers game the market is there for reason. if don't like market then write the Gm to delete it.

Im going to stop right there.

Maintenance fee.??? Tell me your joking??

BB raised a lot at the beginning and I'm quite sure this happened cause nobody knows how to play so we created a strong community and all the BBs made changes and adjustments in a very short time, maybe someone remember Ballfhurer and his wild day trading. Today a new user enter in a division that often is not active as members, personally I'm not so much interested to share information cause the "old ones" more or less don't have anything to say; this is a game that we must play on a long term basis so you need to be involved to spend the first 2/3 seasons before to have a real challenge and before to see the fruits of your work. I've no solution or idea but in my opinion the point is to try to involve the new users making something attractive for them like for example a cup related only to teams of the lower divisions.
I'll stay here as other old players, I wanna be alone to win finally the BBB :p

New players could be given more starting money to counter the inflation of players.

I hope you are being sarcastic... Didn't you pay attention during Economics class?

Maintenance fee.??? Tell me your joking??

I know it might not be the most conventional idea but not only is it realistic, but I honestly believe it would make the game more fun and better. You're acting like it's such an obviously bad idea that you won't even respond to it but I don't get what you have against it.

Arena has to many cost fee to attain for starters. Arena is not cheap, you may see my arena and he is same level as me cant be very hard. It took me 8 season to do, almost 4 million+. That's not covering lost ticket sales I lost while building ,when the seat don't fill or I lose a game. That not covering the future seats, I have to build. Which be even higher in cost to do. I'm guessing around 5 million. I'm losing money every game, every season on seats regardless . I'm not only one losing money in arena seats everyone on BB is. Every one losing thousands of dollars a season regardless if they fill them or not. What we could have in seat money and etc, always play a factor.

Arena cost may be realistic, at the same its not a realistic need in my small opinion. Arena is pretty much set correctly in my opinion. The other factors that make tickets sale like fans mood, even things out. Not speaking on my own behalf, Maintenance fee's would set a lot of people back, who already spent millions to build, what I need a fee for? Should the place not be the highest quality and standard a arena can last for 30-50 years with out issue.. It bad enough losing revenue on seats and building, the correct player you need to put the buns in the seats with the fan moods.

The kicker with the way it is now,. I get a chance to get the money back.. with a Fee as presented, I don't get it back. I don't see anything that's presented that benefit my wallets or any team overall to bring revenue back.

BB isn't dying a slow death. I believe this game is about dedication. What you get out of it is a direct reflection of how much you put into the game. I don't worry about teams that go inactive because it just means they weren't dedicated neigh to build their team and compete in the higher divisions. I'm a really competitive person and I want to play against the best managers in the future once my team improves.(I'm a good 4 or 5 seasons away from that. If not longer.) I believe there are enough dedicated managers right now who make BB what it is today. Now don't get me wrong, having more managers wouldn't be a bad thing but it is nothing to worry about and should not make anyone think this game is dying. People lose interest in the game when they are not making progress. Even though I'm a relatively new manager (joined in the middle of season 27) I love his game and never want to see it end. Just remember my team name because I will make it to the top division in the USA eventually, just give me time. Lol that's all I have to say, just wanted to throw my thoughts out there.
