3. We can try to offer the BBs our help, either by asking if they need another programmer, or continue to support them by buying supporter and encouraging others to buy it. If more people buy supporter, they will have more funds for equipment and better servers and more programmers.

I agree. I'm paying for myself and two of my friends. I don't have time or knowledge to offer programmer service, but since I have a steady job it's not that big of a problem to miss those 90 EUR/year. I know a lot of people here are going to school and don't have a lot of money, so maybe it's a bit harder for them to pay supporter year after year. However, paying only for one year or even 6 months for BBs to get an initial boost - I think almost anyone can afford that and if the game appeals to you greatly, why not support it? Afterall, we are already paying for almost anything we like/use/eat/drink...

Paying supporter is actually a big part of this, but I've got a couple websites running for quite a while and these really have a huge cost if you need top notch performance, especially if you think that they get only 4 bucks per user per month at most and also have to pay a couple programmers. BB has grown more than they expected, that seems like a fact to me, but still, even though the major problem here could be the money, it could also be coding. I mean, the game coding hasn't evolved as quickly as the community, so this could be expected.

I can code and/or examine code performance quite well as a CS major and I'd be willing to contribute with that, but I don't know if they'd be open to having players looking at the code directly, even just at small parts of it.

So, jumping to my conclusions:

1) We'd need lots of people paying for supporter to solve these issues, and that simply isn't the best solution(still necessary if we want the game to grow into our(players) expectations)

2) Everybody must realize that BB isn't a backyard project anymore, so just whining about delays, small errors and stuff like that doesn't make any sense. If you don't want to contribute in any way, don't even bother complaining.

3) If help is what's necessary, our community has got plenty of people willing to help, all that's needed is asking and be willing to hear us :)

That's would be amazing ...

I always say '' If the problem is help, we're here ''. I think, never in this game, they've use our help.

But, we don't know about these problems. If we wanna help them, we need to know about the problems.

Yes, this is true. One was criticizing the U21 quality when the same person only has foreigners in his team, and never bothers to look for someone in the same country to train. If people want to criticize, ask themselves what they've done first.

This is to funny, again training sux. *************** and **ck and all the best to BB staff <3

Again, come to Belarus. The training is perfect again here (as usually).
You will not have any regrets :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OE1pxbL6Uc&feature=re...
Forgetting about the politics which is not allowed at the forums anyway.

I also have Supporter, and training here hasn't been going correctly since mid season 17, but my life won't end because of it. You will get your training anyway, maybe its one hour late, or maybe even 5. During that period on Friday nothing will happen anyway. You only get trainings minutes from the competition and practice/cup matches anyway, so this won't be influenced by it at all.

I play this game since season 16, and always have had Supporter since I like the extra options. This extra option does not include having training done earlier, so you can't have this as an arguement. You only pay 4 dollars a month, don't expect too much. Besides that, maybe 20% of all users has Supporter ( i might even be too high on that number), so BB doesn't get all that much money. They run this website advertisement free, so give them a break.

Amen to that

to few pop ups, or disappointent since it comes to the same time like properly the last 2-3 month ;) I mean BB not even wrote a fix schedule at any public point. Maybe time to expect it 2 -3 hours later, and everything work properly.

That's staying boring, I say again!

Fix these problems, or no one will buy supporter any more. Oh, don't forget, that's because no one will pay this game any more.

Listen what I'm saying.

Finally, someone reminded of this...

I have learned to take a less obsessive approach to the game, especially until some of the bugs worked out. I make an effort not to rush and login right when training is supposed to happen because I know that it is probably going to run a little late and it really is not a big deal.

Matches being delayed can be a little frustrating but in the end there is nothing I can do during the game that can make a huge difference.

If you know what some of the issues are then just take a little different approach to how you think about the game. They are doing their best with the resources they have and this is not a game in which the timing of certain actions are crutical, with the except of the player market perhaps.

I had an issue yesterday where my account was block due to login errors and it said I had too many failed logins. I sent an email and within 2 hours everything was fixed. These are the type of issues that I am much more concerned about.

Instead of logging in right when you expect training to be done and complaining about it why not wait a few extra hours to login and be happy with what you get. If feels like people are looking to catch them on some of these things lately.

I am surprised that the BB developers have not pushed back the training updates 3-4 hours but still run them at the same time. I bet you would get people raving about how the updates are early then. I know there are some other issues at times but people complaining about this one all the time really bugs me.
