BuzzerBeater Forums

Its really useless to argue with you guys how to run a business properly. Its not best practice to abandon a community of 60k users and let it die - no matter if you are a genius or not...

It hasn't been abandoned. There is still one dedicated developer toiling away (BB-Marin).

I can assure everyone that a new feature is currently being worked on.

i would say even more then one, marin is the only one who speaks outside but at least on the bug the other bb are busy too.

T This game is by far the best availiable on the whole interwebs and still it is abandoned by its developers. I really dont get it.

Very soon it won't be the best game available ;)

I think what Knecht is trying to say is that this game has a really good potential, but is not exploiting it. I played many online games and i can assure you that this game could be really profitable. You can have an awesome idea, but if you don't know how to sell it, you probably will fail.

If buzzerbeater had also a developer with the profile of BB-Charles but from the business management side, we would be talking about a game with a bigger structure(something close to hattrick).

BB-Marin is doing a good job, but we need someone who can bring fresh ideas to improve BB as a company which in my opinion it's where this game lacks.

It's just my opinion based on my experience on this game(that doesn't pretend to be a complain), i would invest money on a managing director instead of more developers.

As a LA that does translations, I can confirm that

I don't know when exactly, but probably soon. It's FBI-CIA-KGB top secret, so I can't disclose anything more or some men in black will be soon knocking on your door.

It's not really smart to abandon real life obligations either though :P

I think working on this website is real life, isnt it?

If the developers choose to walk away from this game and pursuit other ventures this is their choice. The only problem I have with this whole situation is how they are doing it - posting a short message explaining the whole situation seems like no big deal to me, but maybe it is for a scientist.

The main man going bot is a horrible sign where the site is heading, like Schettino abandoning his ship...

Even if the game is not abandoned, the people who are running the show now should grab a book and learn sthg. about PR, thats a huge part of the success of such online games/communities. Sb. please explain to me why it is impossible to talk to us every now and then - Marin does a good job, but if there are a handful of people involved, and obv. its even more, its time to get them involved and get in touch with the community.

they did it several season ago, when they introduced the new devs.

actually have no issue with the BBs continuing to improve existing functions and stability over dev.ing few features. I'm not on the bandwagon for new features all the time. I will be happy with improvement of existing functions. Improved approaches to economy (arena income no longer based 99% on last game alone), training, GE etc. I want to see stuff that is there and has been discussed in forums by users over and over and over fixed already. LIke with the whole buzzerbeta roles thing I would be sad to see another features nobody asks for or wanted implemented in the presence of multiple popular suggestions for even basic improvements of existing functionality. We don't need 'more' or 'new' now IMO, we still need better, especially considering their limited resources for devs and bug handling as it is.

I agree that the Buzzer roles really sucked, and the forum polls really sucked but some new stuff could be a money maker. I know I would re-UP my supporter if they had career stats for my team. I know that this game could bring in some real money that could equal or come close to their real jobs pay if they just gave the game some TLC. From a game aspect, Hattrick is killing this game. Just recently they added the Loyalty setting to the players, last season the TEAM OF THE WEEK for the league..These are things that can be added quite easily but no one has the juice...
