I think that Spain and Italy, the countries with the most teams (about 1/3 of all teams) weren't having teams deactivated. It must have been fixed so it made it seem like a bigger drop than usual.

mmh im actually find a competition with 50000 people more interesting than one with 500, just for me. also more people give much more ideas, influences, fun, value and so on. also i like to test things before i pay and one of my other personal opinions is that i like free stuff more then stuff i have to pay for.

I think supporter is a bit expenisve. I currently play 4 basketsim sites including this one. I'm a supporter in two of those. Together they cost me 29,90 Euros, with the conversion rate i got off the net of 1 E=1.46$. If i did my math right i rounded the euors to 30 and i got $43.80 ( in one game yu have to buy a package for 13 monthes so the 43.80 covers one game for 12 monthes and the other for 13 monthes). BB alone costs $40 (per year), it's not that i don't have the money, i mean i just don't feel like it's worth it. What are everyone else's thoughts? Also, one year of X-box live costs $50 and a good game used ussally costs 30-40$ which are funner than BB. Yes i used funner!!!

You're probably right about supporter being too expensive. I don't actually have supporter but based on what I've read about it, it really doesn't offer enough. I know you don't want tog ive supporters advantages but there are so many things that can be done to improve supporter and making it more worthwhile.

I also think that the rules pafe is far to vague. They need to get a lot more detailed so people have a clue what they're doing when they come to the site rather than having no clue what they're doing and wasting 3/4 of their money on the first day buying arena upgrades.

Don't forget Private Leagues - that in itself is a compelling reason.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

That's very true but I still think they can expand on supporter. I'm sure if they asked for improvements from users you'd get tons of replies. It's not something they should be quick to get done though. They're doing a good job working on the game as it is. Once everything is settled in though, it's something they might want to consider.

The BB team is always exploring new Supporter features.

They will come in due time.

I always read forums and ask questions if i think the rules are vague and/or not detailed enough. But mabye I'm not most people. I'm hoping that they pump up the supporter soon.

i think bb is still new, right now its establishing it solid legs for foundation.

there is still a lot of room to improve, we have to look long term here.

and you cant blame some player, i quit chazaray because i cant get the hang of it. maube some players are just used to some others than this.

but what do we know . . . all i can say is as long as im having fun! GO!

I agree that the price of the supporter is steep looking at what you get compared to more commercial products, and even a similar concept like Hattrick. However, this game is young, and has no big $$$ (EA, Valve, Microsoft) behind it and thus need our support (hence the name 'supporter') to keep developing into a game that appeals to a large community of players and gives alot of added value to its supporters.

In this early phase though I think it's important that everyone that appreciate the potential of this game, and have the ability to show their support by spending some $ on getting supporter - do it! You are investing in something that could become great fun, and I believe the BBs for sure will remember who made it happen!

In my eyes - coming over from Hattrick, and without any special interest for basketball - this game looks promising and - as mentioned above - seems to have dedicated developers behind it.

So - if you like it and can afford it - support the game!
