Not the right thread. Let's stay on topic.


Thanks for that, EGM-Perpete...


It is reassuring to see so many peeps having their say in this thread and, it seems, BB isn't dying (although I created this thread for a consensus rather than a verification of that initial question).

It is also great to see some peeps running with the ideas put forward so far. A big thanks to Homer and his Tutoring thread http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr.... I feel BB is in good shape when we have peeps willing to be creative, or simple work hard, to improve and maintain this great game.

To commemorate this sad event, can everyone get a Pakistan flag?


That would be nice...

Nobody asked you, Trikster! :P

...perhaps B) the alternative (if we can't get the flag) is that all those teams who already have it must return it!!! ;-)

Will the creation of Utopia, and all that comes from it, negatively affect BB's growth?

I have been disgusted, as have many managers, by the geriatrics selling for absurd prices since the creation of Utopia. Added to this is the regular influx of overpriced players on the market. Players that would have sold for less than $50k pre-Utopia are now selling for $250k+ Perhaps the most obvious difference I've started to notice is the waves of Million-dollar-men! There are countless players now listed for a minimum of $1 million+ Pre-Utopia times saw only highly skilled young players or quality SFs selling for more than a Million with the latter more than 2 million. Now...there are so many players listed for or sold for more than a million that wouldn't have been worth half that pre-Utopia.

i was browsing the thread and i see alot of demand for a mobile app. My question to the GMs is have the developers never thought of creating a responsive theme for the site? Sure the cost of producing a mobile app can be expensive, however you could also go out and purchase the Unity wrapper and wrap your current code with it and create a mobile app very easily.
The cost associated with that would be about $6000.00 for both android and apple licenses, Surely you guys have $6000 to spend on game development.
But lets just say the owners did not want to spend that much on the development of the game.
Creating a responsive theme is not the most challenging thing in the world. Hell the layout of the game here is simple enough that it would probably look fine with a responsive design. Then the game looks on the phone tablet desktop or whatever else. Any good front end developer should be able to create a responsive theme in a short time, The game already has a themeing system in place that much is obvious, so why not just make one that utilizes all the updates in modern programming languages since the game was created? Css gives you the power to make things mobile friendly even without the "mobile app". It makes no sense to me as a developer why all this talk would be given to the creation of a mobile app when the solution lies just in front of your eyes and could be accomplished rather easily. Just my two cents from a lowly D4 manager, Flame away

Conclusion: It may be a good time to turn oneself into a producer...


But then what? The Producers end up with a load of money and nothing to spend it on except arena expansion and inflated players. You are suggesting that the demand side is high and that the supply side is low without taking into account that the cash supply is also high. The only way to reduce the cash supply is more money sinks.

This happens in every game where veterans can price noobs out of the market because veterans know the best ways to make money and know what they want and have no qualms about spending to get it.

If only there was an alternative that could help keep market prices down by allowing equivalent "trade" of resources ...
