It seems to me that more and more established and pretty succesful teams quit the game. I dont know if this is a worldwide trend, or just some coincidence that occured in Austria in the last few months.

There is not much left to do and work for, once you built your stadium and got stuck in a competitive league...

Players will quit, new players will join, nobody will play BB forever.

I have noticed a huge crash in the number of votes for NT elections. S13 was a record high with a big surge, numbers are awful for the last elections in comparison and the trend is "worldwide". Italy is a very eloquent case.
Any reason for this ? S13 elections were held in summer for the north hemisphere but Argentina or Australia show the same trend.

I didn't remember it. I hope BB has noticed it then and will advertise the elections again in the future. It's a cheap way to try and get players more involved in the community.

There was a suggestion to put more NT-related stuff in the news (game announcements and so on), so every team could see whats happening with the team. That could raise the interest in the NT.

I think if we could build more things, like training facilities or different stadium upgrades that could help to keep the interest high.

i can only speak for australia but things here economically have changed a lot in the last two seasons

when i won div 3 to advance to div 2 i had a bunch of 10-15k players

but now with the massive pile of cheap free agents flooding the market every day every team in d3 can afford to buy guys wih 40k+ salaries, i see some with players of 100k+

it is great that they can afford to buy them but they cant afford to keep them

i was making a lot of money, improving my arena, upgrading staff, (buying the occasional overpriced player as well) and saving a lot for when i made it

now i cant see how they can be making any money at all - it is a different problem - but still one that is making this game even less about match tactics and training players, and more about the great stockmarket game that also has a basketball theme

no-one is forcing anyone in d3 to have 80k players, but when your rival buys one (and for less than 1 million) then you need one to stay competitive
