when the game runs well ok you can try to increase price a bit, because we all know economy and know that there is inflation but ...when most of community now not actually playing, but just hanging around and waiting to see, how the main engine renovation will go...an increase prices so drastically i think is that the same as crippler shoot him self in one healthy leg that was left :)....congratz. Hope that Monarh and GOD will do the auction to buy the trophy and that will be enough for u 2 survive -- 92 S 1 d.

The change of package price is crazy....I think cancel the 1k staff plan is ok and push people to buy standard plan. BUT, cancel the staff plan and increase the package price of standard to 5k...Well, it makes me want to give up. When I mailed to Administrator, you mentioned you expect people only to spend a few mins on the game everyday. And you now want to charge us a netflix plan for a daily few mins game? lol -- 92 S 1 d.

We are familiar with this way of making money. GM, do you need more ways to make money? For example, you can add players' equipment, such as shoes, hair bands, wristbands, and jerseys. These can increase player attributes. You can make more money in this way. In addition, you can directly activate the VIP level. VIP1-100000 VIP2-200000 VIP3-400000 VIP4-800000, and so on. -- 92 S 1 d.

Well 3x people are satisfied so why not pat themselves on the back a little with the prices..

I agree with CoachM0329 it's a very bad time to increase the price of the game when ME changing every season.
In general, I agree, that the price needs to be revised. -- 92 S 1 d.
-- (Translate) (Translate EN)

Also by a wrong amount. Increasing the price for a premium by 150% is not a good decision, especially the price of buying game credits was already increased a few seasons ago. At least adding some new features to the premium package to make it seems more reasonable. I am still buying the package to support the game, but just want to say it is not a good decision. -- 92 S 1 d.

Frankly speaking，I'm disappointed to see this news. I share a real example. Recently, I recommended this game to my friends. The biggest reason for recommending it is free and does not cost a lot of money. As a result, we are now told that the price of the set meal is going up, and my friends just don't want to play. First of all, the engine of the competition is not stable and has greatly affected the experience. While many players are waiting to see if they can continue to play, raising the package cost is nothing more than accelerating the departure of players. In addition, from the perspective of operation, rapid promotion and increased charges are essentially contrary and unwise. If players spend more money, they should at least have a better experience. Let me give you some suggestions. For example, members can view more game data, such as player's personal attack analysis, defense analysis, and coach's specific impact on the game. Only by providing better and more effective services can players be willing to spend more money. -- 92 S 1 d.

I understand that the community is not happy. The same way we were not happy to pay more for the services we use for BasketPulse.

Probably it could be done “smoother” by changing prices in many small steps, but that should have started a few years ago.

I agree that the price increase is huge, but if we count inflation the new price is still cheaper compared to the moment when it was introduced into the game.

From our side we will keep doing everything we can to make this game better. -- 92 S 1 d.

a-darius Actually I understand it's necessary to raise the package price higher because you have cost of renting servers, the payout to the code designer and so on. But I think it isn't the time especially you keep updating the ME so rapidly. Why do I have to pay much more than before since I haven't been satisfied with this game and gotten used to the new ME? -- 92 S 1 d.

You need to know that income and prices in each region are completely different. The price of one pizza in Europe can buy a dozen in other regions. In my area your pricing is already more expensive than the most popular mmorpg like WOW, FF14. Not to mention countries like Argentina, Turkey (I know they are the lowest price area on steam, I have an Argentinian steam account and it saved me a lot of money :D). I'm also playing another basketball manager game that only costs $20 for a year membership and doesn't have any "pay 2 win" options. I don't know if European players think this price is cheap, but for me, this membership price is unacceptable when there is a "pay 2 win" option. -- 92 S 1 d.

You all complain how pricey is the pay to win part of the game, while I would like to say that EU in this game is way more expensive than in other games because of very few ways to earn it in the game.
- sponsors, profit from matches, rewards at the end of the season, real money... was there something I forgot???
Still there is no way you can save it, no way at all, even if you play in lower leagues. And to top it all if you get into bankruptcy it's game over!!!
I can't believe no one is talking about this, I mean no one at all!
Ridiculousness. -- 92 S 1 d.

Guys, did you really evaluate all the variables? For example, why not increase the cost of the one credit thus trying to sell, creating more benefits to users when buying more expensive packages? I am pretty sure, that the churn of users using the premium package will drop significantly. I really doubt that it will lead to the positive side. I am only guessing, but probably overall retention of users is also declining to mean that the game is slowly dying (think of it as Lithuania's population slowly aging). I won't do a detailed review of the overall marketing presence, but it seems that there isn't too much effort dedicated to that, PPC as well. Overall, what I wanted to say, is that these radical changes need to be tested out first, probably there are not too many resources to do a proper A/B calculating significant differences, but maybe some localized tests are possible. -- 92 S 1 d.

Is it possible to compensate for the increase of the pack by increasing the discount for the purchase of credits in quantity? -- 92 S 1 d.

Agree with JaSamLegenda, would be great if you could sell player and that how to save some salary, get more money. For now you must risk if you wanna go up. If you fail you must have 3-4 season bankrupt procedure to retur balance in normal situation. Its very stupid Idea. Not all players come back after first fail. -- 92 S 1 d.

Wow that's.. quite a price jump. I too will not be extending, I guess. :/ Seems I will have to just do more manual labor to keep track of my player's stats.
I'm curious what made you choose this path. A 250% price hike doesn't seem like it's a decision made lightly since it will likely cause a lot of people to back down. I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning behind this. -- 92 S 1 d.

In the competition for the most popular country, the reward in the form of credits is certainly purposeful and motivating to further promote public relations of the game.
Good work should be rewarded. I am clearly in favor of this.

However, I find the bonus in scouting of talents for the winner rather questionable.
This only widens the gap between the "big" and "small" communities.
This is a self-reinforcing process and only increases the inequality.
Shouldn't the game ensure fair competition among nations regardless of the number of users in each community? -- 92 S 2 d.

Lipinski the extra award, in this case for scouting is given for the highest performing federation. The performance is measured by difference in % of goal achieved, therefore all federations may earn it. -- 92 S 2 d.

dwyane3 I already understood how this works with the reward and that theoretically every federation CAN achieve the goal.
The smaller the federation itself, the less you actually need numerically to reach the goal.
All understandable.

That's not what I was getting at.
My general point was that it brings a not inconsiderable advantage or rather an even greater disadvantage for the small nations, as it already is.
The player pool is already flooded by the sheer number of clubs in the big nations (Lithuania, China and now also more and more Taiwan). And then on top of that, there's the new bonus from the event.
I realize that "we" small nations also get a bonus due to the small number of players in the game of each nation.
But where is the attraction for Taiwanese users to draw players from e.g. Portugal, Surinam or Malta now if the bonus is the same?
That's what I mean by the gap getting bigger. -- 92 S 2 d.

Atotrūkis nuo realybės atneša visus nelogiškumus. Tarp jų kainos didinimas, kada daugybė vartotojų ir taip jaučiasi nusivylę esama žaidimo padėtimi. Bet nieko kito tikėtis nebuvo galima. Darius visada norėjo, kad viskas būtų kitaip nei kituose žaidimuose. Nesvarbu kokia reali vartotojo patirtis. -- 92 S 2 d.

You probably don't know how much effort I put into managing Taiwan community. 2 years ago Taiwan community is nothing. But now we grow up because of our effort. I don't comment on dwyane3's reward scheme. However, there are more Taiwanese players in the player pool, mainly because the number of users in Taiwan has increased. If you can manage the German community well, I believe there will be more German players in player pool in the near future. -- 92 S 4 d.

I joined this game a year ago. Our Nation League 2 was barely fulfilled then.
It has been better because our Federation chairman ak904 is full of passion and motivation on this game, and other crew in Great Taiwan Federation are brilliant and reliable.
We was the SMALL NATION before, but we do really hard on promoting our group. We don't have a such population like China, and basketball either is our favorate sport like Lithuania. However, we still get to this high. If you put the same passion as ak904 does in this game, you won't say such critism about the gap between small and big group. -- 92 S 4 d.

I am absolutely aware that the strong rise is very closely connected with you.
I think many who use BP intensively are very aware of this.
I don't want to minimize your performance at all. I value it extraordinarily highly. I would not be able to do that at all, because unfortunately I am not the kind of person for something like that.
I am very sorry if I offended the Taiwanese. That was not my intention.
I was more concerned with the meaningfulness of the scouting bonus.
As always, my opinion doesn't have to be right. I just wanted to shed some light on another angle. -- 92 S 4 d.
