It has been 6 months since the new owners took over. The two announcements were at the beginning of season 66 and now at the beginning of season 67 there is still no news except that the buzzerbeater code is still being worked on. I wonder how many people are working on the game? When will the code be ready or anything concrete that we will hear?


Its been 9 month now, we just have the News of season 68 and there is not even a single comment related to a new interfaz, update on servers,, etc, etc.

So 9 months with new owners and no answer/ updates/ comments on the future of this game.

And no, we are not expecting to go to discord to find some answers.




You beat me to this post!

I was waiting patiently to see what would be said, if anything, and once again we get nothing.

Now I'm concerned.

Honestly it is a bad thing, the lack of communication at the BB website. But i was lucky to have enough conversations with the guys and i have also seen the new BB website (which looks very nice, very modern, etc etc) to be confident (and satisfied) in their ownership.

If it was up to me to decide, i think they put in enough work to reveal it to everyone and we would have got communication + an update on their work and we would be satisfied on all fields.

I'm not sure why they haven't shared it with everyone yet though. This is both lack of communication and lack of updating on their work. I am not on Discord for the past few months, and it is unfortunate we don't get any communication on BB.

I'm patient and i like what they seem to be doing.


Well, Alonso. Hearing what you have said gives me some confidence as I have been very discouraged by their silence thus far. However, if you know enough to suggest it will be worth waiting for...I am happy to hear that as I have no intention on going to Discord to find out about BB.

It's a spit on the face of the whole BB userbase not to have even a single preview of what's going on, and how things are going to look in the future.

Mind you, it's the same userbase that managed to somehow keep this game alive with their support through all the uncertainty and BB's decline.

I would rather not know that only a select few have had access to a preview because the userbase has been begging for months to see something. So many people have been playing this game for more than 10 years and many even for more than 20 years always paying supporter during this time too.

Heck Alonso somehow has managed to get his hands on a preview, whereas not even the PT GM has had any access to any preview, something that would be an excellent opportunity to build excitement within the community, is instead turning into disappointment regarding the new owners method of communication, even if they present a good result in the future.

Well said. I have been playing BB since Season 14 to now with two small breaks and I have been a paying Supporter in every one of those seasons while playing! Two things have come to really frustrate me as a paying manager:

1. To learn that Discord had become 'the place' to discuss BB related things without any formal notifications on BB that this had actually occurred; and
2. To learn absolutely nothing about the future of BB despite being a long-time paying player.

I have said it before and will say it again. Respect!

At least show us the respect of giving us even a small amount of insight into what is happening (so that we know that 'something' is happening) and simultaneously (as noted above) build excitement and anticipation!

They (the new owners) are showing almost no respect for their players, this game and the 'open' community we once had.

However, a simple and transparent post to the BB community could instantly change this!

Is this too much to ask?

A year (and a week) has passed since you adquired the game.

Could we have some new information about the future of the game, please? Anything will be great.
I remember that it was supposed to be at the end of 2024, but we got nothing.


Have a nice summer all of you


Yes please?!

This team has only one mobile app, which has had terrible reviews in recent years. At the same time, the development of the mobile version of BB was halted. It's very strange to stop working on something they're actually competent at.

Their Facebook is inactive, there are no posts on X, and according to their LinkedIn profile, the company has no more than 10 employees. Most likely, the game was purchased to generate passive income without investing in any improvements.

Besides, the game already runs fairly well — they can easily leave it unchanged for a few more seasons without a significant drop in the user base. In that sense, it was a smart acquisition. Why not sell the game later, but at a higher price?

I’ve long stopped believing that any positive changes will come from these owners.
