Hello, USA community!
USA federation is an example how great a community can act. We are proud to have you guys in the game!
Big thanks for TheCoach and all other community members who made an impact not only for the USA community but for the whole game!
USA is the area where we want to grow the most, and there are a lot of reasons for that:
- you have a great community, leaders and teachers
- you are the least cheating community in the game
- you are the most polite community in the game
- you are the strongest basketball country in the world
- there is no language barrier
- ...
In recent seasons we tried to make the game at least a bit more friendly for USA residents by adding feet and inches in player`s page. Maybe you know how else we could make this game more friendly for USA visitors?
Also we did a few attempts to increase USA community by writing posts on reddit. Even though these posts did not give us a big boost, it was a good start. If we become more visible, we will get more users not only from these articles/posts but also from the google ;)
As attracting new users is very time consuming it would be great to have some help from you. You probably know at least a few places where the game could be introduced to basketball lovers.
Even one good post can change everything. It can invite many new players and it can improve our visibility in google.
Maybe some of you can help us towards finding places for game’s introduction and writing posts (articles) about the game or game’s USA community?
Great places to write about us would be pages (or social groups):
- about some particular basketball team
- about basketball
- about some particular basketball league
- about games
- any other place where users have a place for writing (discussing) about games (recommended sites and so on.)
- maybe you know some blogger who writes articles. This game (or the amazing USA community) can be an interesting topic.
We are ready to give HUGE bonuses in credits for users who help us in this area (or for the whole federation). In many cases, recommendations from users who play the game are more acceptable than advertising made by the owners.
Thank you for your opinions and responses!

This is a go-big-or-go-home idea, but if it works, I bet it would reap huge benefits. You could contact the NBA or individual NBA organizations and ask them to advertise the game on the jumbotrons in their arenas and on their official websites. It definitely would be an ambitious endeavor, but it would probably be the most direct way to advertise the game to basketball fans.

Thank you for the reply and suggestion.
Yes, it would probably increase the community considerably. However, at the moment we do not afford this type of advertising.
Presently we are looking for possibilities to advertise over social networks, communities or bloggers for free or with small budget. Ten, twenty or thirty new users from a small social network that you participate in, would be a good start. -- 73 S 58 d.

I think a big issue with getting new users to continue to play is associated with the time it takes for the game to become relevant. Playing Bot teams for the first season or 2 is problematic, and teams can quit since it is less fun than playing a real opponent. Maybe you can change the way the system detects users who are no longer active so that "new users" are given a different time table compared to users who have played for months / years when being closed. In this way we don't fill up with dead NL / WL with 1 or 2 active teams.

bloomis, there is truth in what you say. We'll try to improve this situation.
We are preparing an update that will fix problems related with recording last activity, thus we will be able to remove inactive teams sooner. -- 73 S 59 d.

I think slow and steady unfortunately is the way to go, I would definitely keep doing what you just recently did every couple of seasons. If we can get 2-5 new lifers every couple of seasons that would be great. Maybe try to expand further in Reddit.

Frankebasta, we have tried this some time ago. It was quite difficult because only a part of registered users stayed in the game and only a small part of them bought credits.
We could agree on some fee for the purchased credits of attracted users. -- 73 S 59 d.
