The National Basketball Asociation (NBA) has created a game to play along on facebook. This game called NBA legend, is about to create a player and get in a team simulating a career. The fun part of the game is that you will play against the people in your network. In that case it will be a fun game because in that case it won't be just a game, it will be a theme of discussion. This game was released during the All-Star week wich had a nice response by the media. As many people use the Twitter and Facebook many professionals players use them to promote their lives and to be follow by the crowd. They know they are famous and they use the social network as they live the day a day.
If we compare Facebook and Twitter right now, twitter is having a great response. The NBA has a very large number of people following there website. Facebook is not just a social network as you can see, it is also a website where you can follow people, get entertainment and have fun with it. Facebook not only has the NBA game has a ton more. The NBA legend is a way of trying to keep the people close to the NBA even when there are not any games on. It is also a way of trying to catch their attention on those things that they arre showing on the website.
It seems this kind of games have a promising future.
Correctly done but your missing some information. What about Twitter? What about a way to make revenue with virtual products? What about YOU? Would you get involved with something like this? Do you see this as having any kind of effect on the sports industry? What about football in Spain?

I think that this article that Juan has commented is really funny. I think that social networks are not only a way to share information (thoughts, videos, pictures, songs...) and this article shows that it can be useful to promote video games among the users. Juan comments that NBA have created during the All-Stars tournament a game called “NBA Legend” that is a video game where somebody can create an avatar and improve playing virtually with the people of your network, I'm totally agree with him that it's a really nice promotion.
ResponderEliminarAlthough we can see that media is increasingly in the sport's world, nowadays, like the article shows, elite sport players have profiles on social networks to share with all of the fans and the supporters what they think about the matches that we had play or promote contests to win a shirt, etc. I think that it's really good that sports and the social networks can go together.
I also think that it's really interesting what Juan says about that, with this kind of purposes like “NBA Legend” the NBA tries to attract the attention of the fans to get them closer to the competition and we expect that this kind of games can have more and more editions and will improve our knowing about the sports and having fun with them.
I think creating this type of new applications or games, will give people the option to comment and encourage players as it is not only a simply game unless it is reason of discussion.
ResponderEliminarIn my point of view, it is the way to make sport more interesting and the manner to relate sport with technology. That menas the progression of society.
