Somewhere in the news was written something about that they could get 1100 bucks and will add the same amount to advertise. 2200 bucks is like nothing, a good guerilla marketing strategy can get you more new user that this money. I worked for an online shop of a department store chain some years ago, they spend a lot of cash only to receive views and clicks.

And this is the point... Even if you get some clicks on the add and the few dozens of people will land on the BB-side, a lot of them will be already scared off by the design of the entry side. Sure, the simplicity of the game (and it's design) is great for many people, I feel like home in it. But I strongly doubt, that a newer generation of players could be interested in it. Look at younger peoples life, things are done by mobil devices. There are thousands of games and apps and things and whatever people are stucked in. There is no time to play an online game.

Yellow cake can be right, in the end the merger thing will costs too much developer time (and therefore money) that BB will skip it. The only adds I see in BB (as a non-supporter) is mostly about one or two specific games. That was different some season ago. There were adds of sport goods, online shops or similar. My online habbits are still the same, therefore there should be still such adds for me. It really looks like BB doesn't attract potential advertiser. In the end, It's not a question of want or not want, it's a question of BB is losing money and server and developer costs will lead to an end of it. I don't hope it, I like the game, but time has changed for such projects which is more based on enthusiasm than a strong financial background.

Cheers

I balled you sir.....Let me rephrase that, I gave you a ball. Well said and POST of the year.

Not sure if you all noticed but I am playing for the World Championship this week in the BuzzerBeater's Best tournament and I hope to bring this honor back to Japan for the first time in 25 seasons.

Whether you are rooting for me to win or hoping I would fail and my team just goes away you should at least come check it out.

Congratulations, Sir... As the opponent was one of my homecountry, but close to the *enemy city* of my hometown (kind of like Tokyo vs. Osaka LOL), I'm pleased with the outcome :).

Unfortunately in our first final game I lost Buss, one of my key players, for 2 weeks. Although he wouldn't really help me to come close to beat you, it's now even more useless. However, I hope your players are a bit tired because they played the BBB final and I'll be able to score some points in the next game ;).

Cheers

Well done sir!

Makes me feel not so shabby about losing the Cup...!!!

@malice, @Rorufuchan thank you both for the congratulations.

I'm very happy to win B3 and represent Japan. I wish I could have pulled it off last season without giving in to the Inside bias of the game but not quite. It's very clear that LI and to a lesser extent LP are the dominant offenses in the game still.

I've decided to have Tetsu Takabe represent my team on the Buzzerbeater cover page. Take a look before you log in and you'll see him in the upper left. I chose him since he is the only primary player I drafted and is Japanese, and also because he has spent many seasons on the National Teams. I thought it would be best to choose a player that represents Japan.

My team is getting older so I will have to start rebuilding before long. I know some of you should be sitting on piles of cash waiting for a good opportunity. Maybe you should think about starting to build now so you can challenge to take over as my team declines. I've decided that since I won B3 and I've only lost 1 game in the last 2.5 seasons that I should keep my team together to try to defend my title. Once I'm eliminated form the B3 competition I will start the rebuilding process.

I'm well overdue for a rebuild. Cold, hard facts: I should have sold off my NT guys a few seasons ago, but I'm finding that VERY difficult to actually do. Pretty much impossible. Can't imagine K-Mat ever playing on a different team...

I've already decided that Takabe will never play for another team. He'll be a player coach into his 50s.

I purchased K-Mat at the beginning of his 3rd season. He'd been trained poorly, but I turned that around. He's been a mainstay of the NT for a very long time, and even now, is still serviceable.

Torii's another I'd have a hard time letting go - he has never played for another club.
