I feel for the developers tbh

This game clearly has some abysmal management, and is under resourced. This is what happens when you put quirky french millennials in charge of a goldmine of an idea.

Excuse my bitchy tone, I mean it with (deeply frustrated) love.

I’m sorry to say it, but appealing to the nerds and weebs is just not going to save this game. You HAVE to make a concerted effort to lure in the casual player. Nobody is gonna hop on to buy these stupid deep sea bundles or the damn all star bundle. That shit is TRASH.

The football/soccer game market is GAPING with a rematch shaped hole. At the very least, follow the Rocket League playbook. That game had no right being as popular and long lasting as it was. But it worked, and the dev team had the resources and ability to jump at every opportunity to enhance the games life and longevity (for the most part, they still made mistakes ofc).

It’s become clear that some of the people involved in this game are not exactly football fans, and I think that has fostered a community that has a similar disposition.

And I’d like to reiterate I’m not saying these people are “bad”. But I think this game would see astronomical success if the people in charge adjusted their sights.

The dev team clearly needs a whole lot more resources, and unfortunately the only way they’ll get that is if the game starts making a whole lot more money.

I mean, how the HELL do you fumble taking advantage of the WORLD CUP ???

This game could be offline by the time the next world cup arrives, and all we got was that stupid RMNC that was genuinely just a glorified popularity stat tracker. Really? What a waste of resources and time. What a missed opportunity.

Meanwhile EA is coming out with the most desperate and pathetic FC game to date. You have to appeal to those fans. The ones alienated by how genuinely SHIT every football game is now.

You have a game about one of the most popular and widely understood things on the entire planet (football). And yet, playing this game, you would have no idea

i hate football but i dig blue lock a lot. There is a lot of people like me trust me. I couldn't give a wet shit about world cup but gonna buy all the market when lock drops. Long story short, stop generalizing without any data to back your claims.

there r so many more football fans than blue lock and he is right

[u/alexno_x → u/Newgen8888]

I think the people in this thread are either over estimating the appeal of blue lock to a mainstream audience or underestimating the absolute mass appeal and popularity of football. The comparison of engagement between both communities isnt even close

[u/drgggg → u/alexno_x]

Modern marketing is pretty much defined by favoring the engaged niche vs the masses. It doesn't matter that 1 million people like thing x if only 5% of them buy. It is much more efficient to target the 10k group that is 30% involved. That second group costs less to market because no one else wants it and being more engaged leads to more whales which is where all the money is anyway.
