HOW DOES THE BETA WORK? 🤔

It’s simple!

🌍 The beta is a completely separate universe: you register again, create a new team and play as a new manager.
⭐ Everyone is a Supporter during the beta, so you can create two teams!
⏱️ Seasons are faster: in the beta, season 1 lasts 2 weeks, and from season 2 each season lasts 4 weeks.
🛡️ Your team in this game is not affected and keeps playing as usual while the beta runs. This game isn’t going anywhere until the new one has earned its place.
🔄 When it has, your club comes with you: its name, its players, its trophies, every season you played. The teams created in the beta will then be deleted, along with all their progress.

Just one Question. In that email it says you can play your normal team further on. While the next headline ist: once it is time, your team will move to the new game.

Will this game be completely moved once the new beta has evolved or is it still our coice to stay where we are?

Once the beta reaches stable, this version of the game (the one we are writing on) will be shut down.

I'm kinda confused.
So we gonna keep the same arenas, same players, same skills, same NT teams, everything gonna be the same there, only we need to wait for the transfer from here to there?

Because I just logged in there, and I can see I'm starting from scratch. 300K, new players, new arena, new team, even new league. So if i start playing like this for this season, the next season or in future, you just gonna sync the players with this team here with that team there?

I would have thought there would be more messages in the forum since this is big news so I got a bit nervous to write this message because the updates have been heavily anticipated and worked on and I do not want to disregard the work being put in it but:

It almost feels like I am having an aneurysm right now. I would never exhange the current simplicity of the game for a few "modern updates" - never understood the complaints about it anyway.

I feel like there is more to be said, but I am a person who absolutely hates updates overall, so I'll try to calm down/think before doing so.


Also just registered but two possible improvements suggestions for starters:

1) Everything is so big and to me it's annoying (and very unlike the current simplicity). It's very hard to see everything you are looking for without scrolling down or clicking something else.

2) Site Skin Colour: There are the usual options but it feels like everything is either black or white. For example, when you click green it just feels like it becomes black with green writings.

Edit:

3) Not being able to open a new tab is also not very ideal IMO.

The classic view does not look that classic.

Maybe in time I will get used to the new layout, but it seems to have lost a lot of the simplicity and speed of the current site. setting the roster (drop down menu)
Adjusting training (drop down menu) - now I have to go through multiple menus to adjust the training.

Unable to understand the economy page...

As a really old BB player, these changes are shocking to me.
The really big update i ve seen were the live matches, u can now track the gameflow and that is a awesome change. But other than that i feel the whole game is just copy paste of this game with a faster format. Season lasts 4 weeks instead of 3 months. I trully hate this change. I love buzzerbeater One reason being the slow paced gameplay, It made it, or let me say It makes it realistic.
Im really happy we are doing work to improve BB we all love. I just feel this changes make the new game feel a bit soulless.
Going through 12 seasons per year is to much.
I would really love if u would Not change to the new 12 season per year format.
My suggestion is add a third league game in a week Increase training minutes needed to 72, Game shape minutes also go up proportionaly, have that 1 more game , Add that see after a few seasons how people like it.
Please do not make this drastic changes to a game i love so much.
And if its decided this is the new format BB is going into. I would Beg the owners to make a different app game with a 12 seasons per year. But please leave this Current format of BB Alive. Dont disconect the servers. Let the people who enjoy it,live to see it die. Rather than being shut off forever.
