Téma: Next Sport

1.- Next game is on 2012, so the other games with no bugs (wich will never happen, they'll always have bugs despite the best work and wishes from the devs) will be out when??? in 2020???

2.- The reasons haven't being said, they just said "handball" and "summer 2012", and that's it, despite most of the users have said they'll like something else.

3.- Here are a lot of people how likes lots of diferent sports games, so you can see easily wich sport game is more "atractive" or not here, and watching the sports waiting list then you'll see wich sports games are more atractive than others...

4.- Yes, handball is similar to hockey and soccer, BUT Basket is also similar and more popular. If they are not going to make a sport that's not similar to thae already existant sports, then make one popular... That way, with popular games but similar to the ones already existents, PPM will MANTAIN and OBTAIN more users and become more atractive, than if they make an "not so atractive" sport... It's simple logic...

P.S. I got to PPM looking for a baseball game and got hooked up with hockey first, and then change to soccer... I don't care if they don't put baseball, I wasn't even specting it, and I wouldn't play basket either, but if they prefer to implement a "not atractive" game before the usuals, then when are the popular games going to be implemented???

Last: if most of the people will like to see another game, and the DEVs don't listen, is that fair???

i dont play fu.... handball!!! I wait other sports, like F1 or tennis.

That was a mouthful, but seriously, you need to calm down...

As I said, I would have preferred other games than handball - In Ireland, no-one plays handball, or watches it.

I would much prefer a game that will work - this will work as the formula has been tried and tested.
And your right, PPM have not given reasons (that I can see) why handball is next, and not F1 or Tennis...

Whats not fair is people like you attacking the PPM team before they can explain.

they could have explian...

Still, let's see now if they will do so...

In the mean time, read the reaction of other people about handball and 1.- tell them to calm down 2.- comunicate their reaction to the DEVs, to see if they pay attention to the community

Why should he calm down. he isnt really attacking the PPM team, he is just saying what the most manager are thinking or saying worldwide about handball. i like handball too and i love soccer, but this sports are pretty similar to hockey and so manager can loose their interrest to do the same things in 3 sports. its clear why handball is the next sport and it will work better than tennis or formula 1 for sure, but is it really a good reason to make a "boring" game? I think that the most manager will not expect a perfect tennis or formula 1 game at the begining,because there are some things to improve in hockey and soccer, but what the most wants is something new!

i would have no problem if the beta of tennis or formula 1 would last 6 or more months. If the PPM team would ask the manager what they want as the next sport handball wouldnt get 10% of the votes.

I know it came across as me just replying to anlumoca, but it's more a general statement to everyone that is not happy with the next sport.

I think it's best to wait to see what PPM say in relation to the next release.

All we know so far is that handball will be the next sport.

I guess handball is more expected to bring new players than to please those who are already playing hockey and/or football. It can seems unfair, but I heard it's economically enough hard for the devs, so it's not illogical.

i play hockey and football and i have very expectation for the handball game. Very much people register in handball in the last year (15000), very more that in tennis or other sports. It's logical that handball will be the next sport.

You forgot Formula 1. If we talk about people who register, so formula 1 would be logical

i think that formula 1 would bring more new players.

I dont think the issue should be about getting new players necessarily but rather getting more money out of the pro pack. I understand that they need more money but by raising the prices like they just did I dont see how this can be accomplished. If you raise the rates you expect something better and so far they really havent provided that and more people will stop buying pro pack. What about instead they lower the rates a lot and give new and better things to members that make a lot more people interested in contributing financialy. How about they cater more towards the people that have been here longer instead of jut making a new sport that will be populated by new players who might not stick around.

Maybe, but there are already a lot of F1 games on internet, whereas handball games are much less present.

on internet there are a lot of hockey games too

I know what you mean, but i didnt want to talk about it. Just wanted to say that handball shouldnt be the next sport, there are too many manger who are waiting for tennis or formula 1. If they want to bring a next game so it should be something different to hockey and soccer. a pro pack can really be attraktive in this sport. For me it looks boring to buy a hockey-,soccer- and handball dress(if i would play it), but i would like to have a formula 1 car which looks like ferrari. just an example.

Of course there are less handball games, because there are LESS people interested in handball, than in Basket, F1 or tennis.

People said that handball will bring more users BUT, if handball have less demand, THEN wouldn't F1, basket or tennis bring more new users than handball???

About the economic part of the game, I don't know about it, or care about it. I care about the evolution, development and creation of the different sports.

IF they decided to create handball because is similar to hockey ansd soccer, then whi not basket, since is popular (8361 more users registered than handball: 21% more than handball) AND similar to the previous games (very similar to hockey, which is more developed than soccer).

At the end first, more people will like another game rather than handball, second, the coding of another sport (Basket) it seems easier. So, what's the reason for handball??? When are they going to say it???
