The decrease in game players has been consistent for awhile as you all know. Various opinions have been expressed regarding the complexity of the BB experience, especially for new players. Although I believe that no mountain worth climbing should be too easy, there should be elements added to the game in order to entice individuals to get more involved in the gameplay. I noticed that membership started to consistently decrease when day trading started to become more restricted. I am not advocating a return to day trading rather I am using that as an example of having a game (simple and easy to do) within a greater whole. This would encourage players at any level to be active for longer periods by achieving certain goals. In the case of day trading by making money. By actively pursuing secondary objectives members are being involved in a greater way within the BB gameplay, by not going bot, by setting their team rosters, by training and drafting. Eventually some will learn the intricacies of winning and promoting. What do you guys think?

I think the most important thing is to have people win right at the beginning. Put them in a bot league and let them win each game by 50 points. That was the best thing for me. I think my team was 7 - 7 when I started and then I won 8 straight games. It took a while to promote up but that early win streak sure helped.

BB can't loose players this fast without stoping. I think the number of teams will settle if a year and won't go down so dramatically.

Hello!!First time i post in global forum so you dont know me...
We love the game as it is and the problem in my opinion for loosing more and more players is that they are not patient.A good team wants a lot of time to be built and wins games and championships.No one started winning cups etc without trying.
I think its false to let them win the first season all the games in order to keep them in the game.

I think that people who play BuzzerBeater will stay even if they know there is farming, day trading, and generally just things that suck about BuzzerBeater unless they lost the time to log in. Whereas even if jerseys, a B3 style tournament for anyone, visible skills after retirement, automatic transfer bidding, or anything else were added to the game, I think people would still come and quickly go at the same rate. BuzzerBeater would have to drastically change to keep more newbies. Which would lose some players who have played for a long time.
What I think the biggest problem with BuzzerBeater is that no one outside of BuzzerBeater knows what it is. BB players need to spread the game around, and BuzzerBeater needs to advertise more than they need to add things to the game.

Agree. On one hand people are saying the game is moving too slow, you need too much time to get to higher leagues etc. But isn't this true also for other managers, say Trophy Manager or Hattrick? My cousin has been playing Trophy for three years now and he hasn't even got a glance of 1st league.
