| Their website still says there's a major upgrade coming in 2016. Don't get your hopes up. |

As I said, no one is working on this game, they don't give a .... about it  |
This is where we hold them! |

This is kind of disrespectful towards those who actually do work on the game.
I said it before and will say it again - we all work on Team HB on our own time.
TeamHB is currently a game that is run by enthusiasts that are paid for work on other Melderon projects, not TeamHB. Why? Because TeamHB support (supporter accounts, in-game ads) currently barely (if at all) covers server costs, and thus the game itself can't pay for 1 development hour, let alone a full time person or two.
Not too long ago, we proposed that THB would go "donations" way, in order for the game to pay for more development time in-house, by itself. It was rejected by the users.
Do we work on the game? Yes we do. The new version should allow for extensions and other "good stuff". Is it ready? No it isn't (I'll ask for the 2016 date to be removed from Melderon's site).
It's basic economics guys. If the game would be only judged by support and revenue it brings currently, it would be long gone. It's kept alive by us who decided to work on it for free. Because no one can guarantee, that this game will suddenly produce at least some revenue that would keep it afloat, with it's own development team. Even if we would churn out a "Handball Manager 2019" all of a sudden.
Because remember (and I already said this once). Even when the game had 6x (six times) the user base, it wasn't supported at all. The free users/supporter accounts was catastrophic even at the beginning. So, I do understand the "powers that be" at the company, that don't buy "if we upgrade the game, it will start producing revenue" speach.
But still, to say we don't give a .... ?
Game just moved to a brand new server not long ago. Why would we do that, if we wouldn't give a **** and would want to "kill the game" for example?
So, I agree. It takes too long. I explained why above. I understand frustration from those that still like the game, but can only say that we are still working on it.
For the end, I will state the obvious. Those that like the game, and can afford it, please support it. Or at least click those ads that interests you at least a bit(don't go click berserk now, as ads publishers don't allow it anyway). It's the bottom line that decides how much extra time we can add to development. And until the game only covers the most basic costs (if at all), we can only work on it on our free time.

 We live in a society where people are thinking for their interests. I support TeamHB since the beginning and it will be the same all the time I stay on this game. Put the selfish people on one side and steam ahead.
I and some other people understand that you are working on this game in your free time, I don't need to ask you again about the future and I trust you nevertheless it lasts many years.

Dear admins,
I find your defensiveness refreshing. I also disagree with many of the accusations hurled toward developers of this game.
The people who have been keeping this game running, do give a shit about this game.
The match engine is perhaps the best I have participated in. I have never lost to a team I was obviously better than. I've been on both sides of the coin flip and learned from the experience.
Back to the topic.
The main suggestions I have lobbied for is:
Career Stats
League Leaders
What we are asking for is that 1 suggestion be implemented every off-season.
We don't want an overhaul.
Just 1 universally accepted improvement be added to the game each off-season.
The easiest way to do that, without disrupting the current chemistry of the game, is to simply compile the stats.
That's what us roto-nerds love.
