BuzzerBeater Forums

An official reaction should be there relatively soon.

relatively: can be quantified?

seriously, it should be "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for Buzzerbeater".


Let's wait

I feel there is some doubt about our involvement in this thread. I assure you, we read everything and carefully consider everything said here. The fact seems to be that almost everything of any relevance has been said and the thread has the tendency to go off topic, so, seems like the time for a decision has come. Since this is a very hot topic and a potentially game-changing new feature, we have to consider all the elements and points of view, all the factors, beneficial or otherwise. So, to summarize, please allow for some time while we try and find the best conclusion for this initiative.

Thank you for your contribution and patience.

I think the poll choices ought to be renamed"

"Those that have supporter or will buy it after implementing a 2nd team option"
"Those that do not have supporter and still won't buy it."

Personally before we do this "second team" thing to placate small nation owners and create incentives for supporters, why not revamp the league system first?

I really think we're missing a big opportunity by not having regional leagues for smaller nations. e.g. Asian league with Japan, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan. Then an owner in, say, Mongolia or Laos keeps their flag, and enters the regional leagues.

Then either:

a) revamp pro leagues to become continental, dictating spots in leagues by a team performance coefficient. So an Asian pro league might have four strong Chinese teams, two Russian teams, an Iranian team, a Japanese team, a Thai team, etc. The pro leagues would become far more cutthroat for survival and just getting in would be an accomplishment in itself.

b) do the above, but outside of the league structure - a "champion's league" for every continent - and only offer it to supporters.

I've been playing this game since 2010, first with an American team and then with a Chinese team when I expatriated. The user base has shrunk by 40% over the last year or so and all my former BB buddies have stopped playing. I'd buy Supporter again if I saw any incentives for it other than what looks like an empty cash grab.

6 days, 2 hours and 15 mins from this post^^

how much is "some"?

i'm waiting this decision as USA was waiting for "The Decision", where a guy taken his talent to Miami...

Under 30,000 players now. Best not to wait too long.

I'm surprised you didn't include seconds as well.

A little obnoxious from a guy with a logo that looks like a guy sitting down taking a dump. This movement will take a bit longer than that to come to fruition.

hmmm---> google translate, Obnoxious nearly same as hated.... is it right?

But i know about time. I just want to know iit will be a yes or no the answer, i'm a developer, i understand there will be time from answer to fruition, probably not less than 2 seasons...

it's just a kind of "necroposting" (re-give posts to topic which aren't not so answered)

I think the second team should be in an entirely new league with its own crop of players. This could have several advantages.
- It would give managers the chance to building new types of players whilst still remaining competitive in top leagues.
- It would also be a chance for managers to start over on an equal footing with each other
- It would prevent any cheating issues associated with having a second team in the same "BB world"

Also since, there would likely be far fewer teams in these new leagues, they could be organized by continent instead of by country. This could potentially solve a micronation problem

Another thing: When new managers (including non-supporters) sign up they can be given the opportunity to join these new leagues instead of the old ones. This would give new managers the chance to stay competitive as the gap between teams would not be so large. This may also encourage new managers to stay active in the game. It would also deepen the pool of competition for these new leagues

I totally agree with this last post! I would definitly consider getting VIP if I could start on a league at same time as everybody. The continents are a great idea too!

I also think you should allow, when somebody loses the VIP member about 3 months time for u to rebuy your vip membership, before deleting your 2nd team account.

I would consider buying the bb-vip for like 3 months, then wait some more time (cause I cant pay 40 dollars...) and then try get 3 more months etc...

Thanks ;)
