Those reasons not to join make sense based on your motivations.
My enjoyment comes from seeing how my players develop and improve over time.
Sure, it takes patience, and many games playing guys out of their ideal position, but it is worth it when playoff time comes and I get a little farther than the last year.

I don't really prioritize national teams or flag design, so those things don't bother me at all.

We are talking about 10+ seasons training to get a top tier player. So you have to play inefficiently for the majority of a players life only to get a short glimpe of his prime. I think that is/was frustrating for many users here and there has been a lot of criticism in this direction. A change would be more than welcome.

if someone covers the entry cost for a half-marathon or marathon... and the cost of a buzzerbeater shirt. I can get some advertising going that way

edit: 0 training, its more fun that way... kinda like "Run Fatboy Run" gimping along to the end.

one way to get a little pop on memberships is to throw in a utopia team with your membership or renewal.


I have said it before, and will again, the best way to attract eyeballs and clicks is to use google ad-words. Case in point, I put basketball managerial games into the search engine, it spit out results for basketball MANAGEMENT games and we do not show til the bottom of the page below basketball manager, charazay and even our buzzer-manager sub site, now I refine the search for just managerial and we show up 2nd to the top.

we need more banter coming out of not just the management of BB but the rank and file.

There's just a question to answer to understand if BB is going to death: is there any owner of the game that is earning any money right now?
If the answer is no, just shut it down.
If the answer is yes: is there any extra money to spend in advertising?
Because visibility is the only key to keep it alive.


Even if the answer is no, there is no reason to shut it down.
With current user trends, in two years we will still have over 16000 users.
Sure, that's not great compared to prior user levels, but it is still a heck of a lot of people playing a game they enjoy.
And who knows, in the meantime, maybe some folks will figure out a way to increase awareness and turn the tide back to gaining users on a consistent basis.

I'm always one of the first on here to defend Marin and Buzzerbeater and i'm not a fan of the negativity in the forums, but I will say that I don't think there will ever be advertising/app investment in the game, its simply too big a risk. Things will most likely be left as they are to fade out in years (could be a fair few) time.

I should add that I would love to see advertising like the old days and a mega shiny new app but I realise that at this point any investment is a massive risk and it isn't my money and business that would suffer if it failed.

Massive Risk? We are talking about a five digit investment. Likely as much as Utopia made...
