We Need Your Help
Message:
Nick,

We recognize you as one of our most loyal SLBK owners on the site - thank you!!!

As we return to the glory days of providing more frequent game updates, we'd like your help growing the number of owners on the site. We need to find more people like you - the passionate, knowledgeable, competitive individual that enjoys sports simulation games.

Please help by completing a brief survey. In addition, 1 out of every 50 owners who submit a survey will be awarded a $12.95 credit towards a future season. Survey submissions expire on 4/18/2015.

You can access the survey from your My Locker page. It should be flashing on the left.

Sincerely,
WhatIfSports

You'd have more people here if you would have paid better attention to all of us for the last 5 years.

You had plenty of people here that enjoyed the game. Then you abandoned and ignored SLBK

I got that same survey and said mostly the same there - I thought I'd bump a few of my favorite suggestions just in case they're actually serious this time

They don't care about the basketball sim. That survey went out to everyone so that the idiots at WIS can come up with ways to promote the site as a whole. They aren't smart enough so they want all of us to do their job for them

I put in my $0.02 of constructive feedback

In my career, I've been on the receiving end of customer feedback, and many times you can convince management that there are tangible benefits for what is often a very small investment and change actually does occur ...

You'll find yourself on a lonely path to nowhere here my friend.

If you look at the survey, it's nothing more than a questionnaire to help them figure out how to more effectively market the site to get more people to the site.  It has nothing to do with improving the game, let alone improving the basketball site.  There probably will never be another update here.

one never knows ...

I ended up serving as a "beta tester" for several companies because they actually got very useful information from me during normal support 

I appreciate your positive attitude! 

However, just for fun, you should count how many responses have you seen from seble (or any other admin) to any suggestion in this entire Suggestions thread.  If you're a go-getter, you'll do the search.  If not, I'll save you the time.  ZERO.  Not one.  There are three pages of suggestions going back several years.  Not one has been commented on or implemented by WIS.

admin's reply seems to hint that if there were more owners in the NBA SIM, they'd pay more attention to it. That is 100% BS, because when they started ignoring it (well over 8 years now, as it was definitely before sable posted his "Critical News" thread), the game was thriving. It had Alumni Leagues running all year long. It had multiple Theme Leagues filling weekly. Until they do several updates within a short period, I will stand by my belief that they hope the game dies. They certainly neglect it like they do.

and then?

I think if "we" go 10 years without an update, which is entirely likely since that's less than another 2 years, I'm going to try to force myself to quit. That kind of customer disregard is just inexcusable.

unbelievable how lame they are!!!

I don't play cuz they don't deserve my money, its a waste of my time!!!
