Are you going to add the maintenance costs to the economy page so that it's reflected in the typical weekly income?

did you degrade the effectiveness of the normal FT training after the update or stayed the same ?

If you ask me, this is just a slight improvement in the game. I assume that most of managers, even those who are saving money, won't be interested in investing - you have no reassurance that your team'll benefit.

While the App is of course great news, I think that the game in improvements should focus on making the game interesting for new players and beginners. In other words, how to convince a new player to keep logging in to the game. Every newcomer's team is completely uncompetitive and I'm afraid that many new players stop playing BB after let's say a week or two (let's be honest, the game isn't much fun in the beginning).

So my suggestion is not making big game changes for experienced and rich managers, but maybe rather focus on keeping new players in the game:
I don't have many useful proposals - maybe a competition which only newcomers who are in BB for less than 2 seasons can attend, also with a little money stimulation for the best teams;
maybe creating the all star weekend more interesting - a little money boost (let's say 5k $ per a player attending all star) and also some benefit for the team (3pt shooting winner's team is rewarded with 25k $);
a more advanced and developed tutorial for beginners with more and most importantly more funny tasks to complete when you enter the game.

I think besides the app BB should focus on keeping the new players playing, because the number of managers is falling drastically and I hope one day BB won't reach the point of no return - too old internet game with too less active players to bounce back.

Regards

Great update :)). Looking forward to learning new things again!!!! And of course APP. Keep it up BB!

One thing It is not clear to me is: the tv and radio station , as you stated, shoiuld affect directly the merchi dise. Does this mean that if we buy , for example, the first level, we will have an increase on merchandise that covers atleast the 5k expense for mantainance? Doea this aplly also to the second and so on level?

no, the Merchandise Store affected the merchandise directly.

With the TV Station the Fan Surveys is a little bit higher than it normally would be, so you can sell more tickets.
But if you already have 5 Balls, the TV Station would be a waste ;) Besides the sesason ticket holders.

So does the FT upgrade result in training for every player regardless of minutes played (just like FT training, but only with lower efficiency)?

I still expect some real improvement in terms of the possibility of assigning tactics depending on the result or its distribution by times or quarters, instead of these "distractions" much less interesting with facilities. I do not understand how time is lost in secondary improvements and the stupidity of tactics for a whole match is maintained season after season.

Agree with Nowitzki that most effort should be going into attracting and keeping new players. Now, a mobile app is a must for that. In these times. So that's a good start.

As an experienced, 'rich' player, I like these changes
