Wouldn't it be better for the motivation to do the following things:

the first season in the lowest league with lots of bots (best would be 15). So this would be the "training" season to learn lots of things about your team. And you got the victories to dont loose. In the second season "its getting serious", you will be promoted (in every case because of the bots) and you can start mess with other real managers.

Would be nice to have mentoring implemented in the game.
Something like this:
- new player clicks to be in a pool of newbies. if sb. of the top 20%(?) of the country want to be a mentor, he also register in the pool --> gets a random newbee.
- mentor can watch the team and skills and is able to chat directly in a private room (like under the matchcast)
- after 7 days both user can click if the mentoring was successful or not
- both(?) can earn small awards like: newbee gets one week no salaries, mentor dont have to pay salaries for the 4th(?) best paid player

Of course the system isn't perfect, both users could ignore each other and get the awards. But its no real financial advantage for both sides and it would make it easier for newbees to dive into the game.

If buzzer beater isn't growing quickly then why have their been more server delays in the last 2 months than there were in the previous 12?

Is it a result of the server change that happened or has there been some sort of strange back end thing that has gone wrong? The only processing change I can see is the "roles" feature which is useless.

last week we got from 50 to 60k users, for me thats quick when you get 20% more teams in 2-3 weeks. Ok a lot of them will only login once or twice, to check it out but even when just 2k will stay it is an increase around 4%.

There has been advertising for BB on a number of sites including some NBA related ones. Advertising works. So you will see lots of swells and shrinks. A game like this has a high percentage of people that only ever log on once or twice.

The first impression a new player gets is usually the graphics. The absence of jerseys is a serious minus for keeping new players. My 2 cents...
