I also think that the disadvantage that basketball has is that the NBA (a national league) is pretty much the core or the central hub of basketball while not much else is going on elsewhere nationally. Sure we have the Euroleague and the Olympics are also interesting at times. It is a whole different story with football where, sure you have the core in Europe/S. America but you have good if not great national leagues throughout the world. In addition there are all these great international tournaments, CL, WC Continental Cups that millions if not billion people are regularly following. I think football just has a greater reach as a sport.

What I mean to say by that is: BB probably can't be directly compared to HT and therefore I don't think it should be such a big concern that BB is not able to reach these numbers.

IMO it comes down to modernizing the UI of the game and habe a complete mobile app, which could really have the potential of reeling in "standard gamers", who are not hardcore basketball fans. I believe that the outdated/old school look of the webpage scares quite a few people away, who are used to more modern standards, especially these from the younger generations. I have seen several people already mentioning in the forums that they used to play BB back in the day and now came back, because they knew there was an app. But as I said, this is just from my perspective and is in no way the truth

Why only Hattrick. There many online basketball games that have went under as well ? Right? I don't think it's fair compare that game to this one, two different sports.

How many other basketball online games are their like this one? What is the ranking of those and etc.? This game seem to lack communication and community . Seem to be many know it all's and know nothing at all (I would be in the latter)? I wonder what this game was like it prime. Forums maybe more filled with vibrate conversations 🙂.

The biggest place outside BB was Charazay, but it's closed. I guess there is no other place. I think this game will be good enough when Game Manuel includes everything and the interface is modernized. Also with a full mobile app the number of users will increase (20-30-50k?). Right now I'm old school and I use the desktop version even when I'm on my phone, but I think a lot of people get tired of that and want to use the mobile app.

There is no need to speed up the game like the new owners think. Although in basketball we are used to a lot of games, maybe 3 league games a week.

The basis is communication. When that is not there, then everyone will doubt. It turns out that the owners never had or played these types of games because if they wrote every week it would be great for us.

Not every week, but at least from time to time (season and half-season news) would be great.

… even LA would give comments that really makes me say oh boy what good is this comment to the game

I am in this game for 10 years now (this time) and became a farmhand (or slave 😉) for translations … I do not have any further information what is going on „up there“ 🤷‍♂️

apologies if i offended you, im saying generally not specifically in this thread alone

I am fine … I just wanted to say that I am on the same raft on rough sea like most of us ;-.)

1. is the player on a higher or same league as mine? ( my idea is a if im division 3 i need to look at division 2 or higher ) , the competition is harder on the basis of better players overall due to salary

No, not necessarily. It it just how the player fits your team an tactic. There are a lot of NT-players fed through lower leagues … performing bader due to their teammates.

2. look at their stats reflecting on the skill sets level they have . apply this if im looking for a player with certain skill sets would i need higher or same skill level , generally i would look at fg%, #'s of 3 points made, how often he fouls , scoring average , everything else would be on what position you need.

Just go for what fits best … See above.

3. check if the player is a starter or a role player , if its a starter you will get a better feel of his performance if he plays on your team

If you are referring to the players „role“ this doesnot say much … this is just how often the player has lined up. The players role might be lower than his performance because of training or playing the cup games.

4. always always be on the negative side since we dont know a lot, truly we dont how he would perform with his new teammates coming to your team since he got better teammates over there (coming from a higher division ) but since your in a lower division that player might play the same or better

As stated above.

5. whatever stat or performance you have base on getting that player is just an estimate , if he perform bad on your team still you have an idea he can play better. one aspect of the game that i didnt consider is the effect of experience and is there such a thing called chemistry that applies in the game , just this season i form my starters mostly of young guys and they suck, since they just started playing together i dont know how long they can build chemistry if there is one ... again no mention

As far as we know, there is no team-chemistry. Some players have a better performance in some tactics some dont … the only thing which is some kind under control by PiC, CT, normal is team-enthusiasm and the game shape which depends on the played minutes over the last weeks.
