I just saw that the amount of managers did drop below 200.

It's not a tragic milestone, but some sort of sad that the game slowly is draining users.

It will go up a bit, once the NFL season starts again, but overall trend is downwards.

It is a shame, the game does seem to be slowly dieing.

Word of mouth is the best way for any game like this to be successful. If 1 player starts and loves it, you need them inviting 5 of their friends and guiding them through the initial experience.

That doesn't seem to be happening. The amount of new users that don't stay is HUGE but i think this game has the easiest startup.

Im unsure how we could improve numbers

It is "dying" since around 2014. The term dying was brought up over and over again. There were many discussions about reasons, and what to do.

One major thing seems to be that this kind of browser sims it not what todays gamers are looking for. Slow pace, no way to buy success, long term strategy needed.

This is Not a personal attack:..

Some players who left in the last recent seasons and their concerns can shed some light on some of the issues of questionable game simulation outcomes

So maybe wearing blinders and ignoring/dismissing what some of them said, or didn't say, is not the way to improve RZA and it's game engine.

Have a nice day!

I remember a time, yes, a long time ago when there were +2000 users and yes my first stint in this game was from season 1.
Even then, there were a lot of new users who registered and i mean a lot. Some stayed and played and some dissapeared after 1 week like now. The game is not the problem, the lack of users is, because there are not many youngsters playing online games like we did in our 15s, 20s, 25s. Most of the "new managers" are people who played the game before and just like me, they remembered about it and came back. Other, perhaps 30% are indeed new and want to try it out because they are tired of XBox or Play Station or PC.
Now, if you are talking about some issues regarding somebody with eye problems or things like that, i agree with you, because we had that and it was not cool, but if you are reffering to cry babies who lost a game feeling that they shouldn't then i don't agree.

I think Pete needs to ignore alot of the noise, particularly around the above.

Some of the posts ive seen around teams that shouldnt be losing as they had the best OVR Ratings are silly. The fact that i have a slim chance to beat anyone in this game regardless of OVR or ELO or anything else is what makes it PLAYABLE and realistic.
