This is strictly a minor development, if that. While yes, it's important and I greatly agree with Teemo on how important it is to making sure the game develops going forward, I feel that you misled a ton of people, and I know in discussions from folks on the BB discord that there are people stopping playing because of the misdirection.

Major error on you guys' part. This is something to announce at the beginning of S41 or something, not in a "major development." Come on. I'm not a supporter, but I have been putting a ton of thought into it because I thought the game had loads of potential; I just needed a little push in the right direction forward for that to happen. Now I don't think I will unless something massive changes. A better game-engine optimization so that a trainee doesn't play 46 minutes and take the bench? Ability to actually have a sixth man in the lineup that doesn't play just 14 minutes? Graphics and forum design that aren't from the inception of the internet? This game is marvelous and has HEAPS of potential, but you guys decide your major developments are a supporter pricing list? Geesh.

Rant over. Good luck in seasons all, go USA NT & U21!

I undestrand the difficulties but no one asked a develompent every 15 days. The decision to promise it was by the staff and maybe it was a little too ambitious. Even when you new developers will be completely operating it seems to be a hard goal to reach.
But a price resizing is not something that can be given as a "development". It's a good thing, I suggested it myself, but it didn't need a development team and could have been done even before.

It is standard agile development practice releasing every two weeks. It can be minor features or bug fixes or major features that have been worked and tested across several two week periods (called sprints).
You can see the changes in the supporter page and the internal payment procedures which you don't see, but are critical, now depend on your country, so development was needed for this change. Which is. without any doubt, a major change for buzzerbeater.

I must say I agree with almost the whole post you wrote.
But belevie me, it would sound so much better if you were a supporter.

Yeah I wish dude, I'm in some not-good financial times right now though, so convincing my wife to spend $30 on some small improvements to a free online text-based game is a bit tough. xD

I think that it's a good improvement. I like playing the game and usually (yes, usually) if i'm more active, i buy the supporter package. Atm i'm more stuck with my work and i haven't had time to buy the 1 year supporter package once again. i've done it 2 times in a row tho. THey changed the prices to our favour, and i think that there's nothing to complain about that. The updates to the game are already live and i'm happy with that. Keep up the good work.

This improvement made me buy a 1year supporter for me and present my cousin with a 3-months supporter.

Btw, people need to calm down.

I have lived without supporter and with great results

Can we get some explanation for Ireland being kept in the top tier?
I think there was a confusion between the words "Ireland" and "Iceland".

And if it wasn't an error... as much as I would love to, we are nowhere close to England economically speaking and we are 2 tiers above in this list!

Really mate, there's no problem at all, admitting an error makes nobody weak or anything. Such is life...

Cheers

Having a supporter account literally and metaphorically speaking brings more color to your BB experience, but it's def not mandatory to enjoy the game or have sucess.
