BB-Marin is here only for the money.


which money? how much money BB actually makes? i don't think it's much money.

let's say 10% of the users are supporters. that's roughly 1300 supporters. US$20/year each, that's around 26k/year. let's round it to 30k due to utopia second teams.

30k/year and what else? can't think of much more than that.

30k/year less expenses. this doesn't really seem much. at all. but maybe i'm wrong. maybe BB makes millions a year exploiting poor users around the globe. dunno.

but that would explain quite well the reason why there is no "BB-team". a "BB team" would require money to exist.

You need to invest in the idea if you want to gain more. 10% of 13.000 is 1.300, but 10% of 60.000 ( we had that number years ago) is 6.000.

10% was a random number, I guess the actual number is way lower.
by the way, in the golden era of buzzerbeater circa 2009-2010 there used to be more BBs around, which made sense since the site used to make more money.
to summarise, I'm not saying the decisions the BB developers made all those years were the most brilliant, there's a lot of criticising to be made, I just think that the idea of BB-Marin still being around just for the money is laughable.

I am giving a try to hardwood college basketball

Its game engine is similar to BB's. And it is in active development.

It has recruitment and experience instead of training or trading. Much more realistic.

But I don't know if the idea of "college basketball" will engage many European users.

+1 for Hardwood. Haven't been on there long but it seems as though Steve is constantly implementing improvements.

There are ads as well for all non-Supporters if I'm right.

@jesus.sanchez
The "BB-Marin is here only for the money." is by the way exactly the kind of comment coming from someone who does not know anything about how much work it needs to program and maintain such a game. Before taking your pure hate out on Marin, maybe first think how you could help BB at your level.

About the bugs, I have been really annoyed by all these recently but http://www2.buzzerbeater.com instead of http://www.buzzerbeater.com fixed it all by my side. And finally, the viewer was really better tonight ! Far from perfect, but already way different than last week.

My last experience with the viewer:

I want to know why my trainee only played 33 minutes (I guess it was a temporal injury but want to make sure)
so I go to the viewer for the game and make it start at minute 35

Well, one of my six players, not the trainee, has disappeared. He is no longer in the building, who knows why. The trainee that has only played 33 minutes is still playing at minute 35. The clock has stopped. And when I look at the stats, every second one more minute of playing time is added to every player.

Yes, much better ... so much better that it is now a game by itself: guess what has happened in your game!

Regards, "Dear BB-Marin"!

Mr. Marin.

I come to you today to thank you for your great incompetence, your lack of dialogue, your immobility and your dishonesty.

For years I have been a client of your company and for years you have been making broken promises, for years you have made bad "improvements" that favor the richest managers and for years you have made fun of clients.

Impossible to have a constructive dialogue on the French forums which are moderated by incompetent censors like you, the insults rain, the decriminations towards my wife in particular who has the misfortune to be a woman and to speak all the evil that she think of you and the game.

So to punish you for your incompetence, my wife and I are going to stop paying for Utopia and BB and I hope that many managers will do like us to show you that the bosses are us and that your lack of dialogue and competence will be punished.

And if the game has to die and although it dies, it will be all your fault.

Not expecting any response from you because even then you are bad.

I'm not greeting you.

Champion d'Europe et du monde NT saisons 57/58.
