If only persistence is required, I'll be #1 someday ...

1. To devs: Keep doing what you have been doing. Don't lose confidence now

2. Keep any eye on weaknesses of the game (overall). Focus on improving those areas

3. Improve the amount of joy each user derives from the game. In feeding us real entertainment (e.g joy, detachment, diversion or escape), therein will your ultimate blooming lie $$$

Why? First of all: is that true ?? If yes, go to step #1.

I love Buzzerbeater because it is such a strategic, fun, simple, yet complex game where you can find several different ways to be successful. And what got me hooked is the ability to ask questions and get answers quickly if I ever have something on my mind. The close community and communication between managers makes this game special. Just keep doing what you're doing BB and this game will remain to be successful. A few improvements each season makes this game more and more exciting. My next goal is to be a U21 manager for any country so I can get more experience. I feel like I can do something special. I'm absolutely hooked to this game.

I have been playing Buzzerbeater since February 2009. And being addicted even more today. Not only because of the game itself, but also because of the great community. I'm sure if BB invests some money in advertising on basketball community web sites (for example, in Germany on schoenen-dunk.de, crossover-online.de or fivemag.de), the user base will grow. This game has great potential and if I look at how BB developed in the past 2 years, I'm very confident.

I agree, Shadow. This game can and will still grow. However, importantly, if it doesn't...it's still very good in its existing form.

I've been playing since 2010 and, like yourself, still love it. I've made some major mistakes over the last four or five seasons (all on whims when RL interfered with my investment in the game) but now I'm enjoying the challenge of trying to fix those mistakes and fight my way back. To make the task more challenging, the addition of Utopia and increased prices on the transfer market for older players has made it harder to get the players you want if you're not training or if you need some experience off the bench. Throw in the introduced player salary caps on purchases, training exemptions, over exemption tax, the GDP and---the best lesson I've learned---the importance of training players for your team's future success...and this game offers enjoyment to match the level of commitment by the manager.

Long live BB! lol

maybe every (big) nation should have an moderated forum or a responsible person to collect ideas on regional advertising. your examples are nice. i don't know if an US-american would have thought to advertise on these sites.

so maybe if a national PR-manager or a thread where all sites are proposed are introduced the advertisement money would be spent more efficient.

i dont think only basketballgames but also other online/manager games which are popular in different countrys.

Tomorrow some managers will bot... and then we will see the numbers.

You have right,but I don't think will be bot more than these 102 users.

There'll be a lot more than 102 teams go bot tomorrow. 700 would be closer. Though I'd bet most of those signed up only a few weeks ago.
