I really love this game, is adictive, funny, dificult, entertaining, everything that a web based game should have, but it's economy needs to have a huge improvement, basicly because the regular incomes and expenses have a huge difference between them. The expenses (namely salaries) are really huge for the amount of income we can get out of merchandise that is the only real regular income that the game has.

Just manage your team well and you will see that there is nothing wrong with the economy as it is.

There is no need to have a roster of 21 players.

You do know that you get money from ticket sales, right?

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Yes i know. But that is "not" regular cause the attendances are really small.

You should be making a good portion of your income from ticket sales, some from training, and merchandise should really be ancillary income.

Most teams can.

I know it seems bleak now, but we heard this ad nauseum at the end of last season. Everyone was complaining how they were going under and wouldn't survive the offseason.

Look, you may dip into the red. The beginning of next season will get you back in the black. You, and everyone else who practices some decent management skills, will be fine.

Don't think that you can have in team all national players, you need players strong enough to win your championship. Probably, imho, there are still too much money, what I like of this game is that at the end is not so easy to manage all aspects but is also not so complicated.
Stop to ask more money just because you want to buy the best player paying him 5 millions ;)

Yes but I that you can't change the arena tickets prize for a month is painful, specially for newbies

In my case: my team lost the first TV match by a bunch when it was a bot but I suffered the penalty when I received the team (and also don't receive the TV income)

I have played others games where the better strategy is to keep tickets high, so my first month I test that resulting in very low attendances. After the first match I knew it was wrong, but couldn't change it for a whole month (1/3 of the season)

next month I put medium tickets and also hired a PR 10 - just 50% attendances, so this month i lowered tickets a bit more, but I'm losing money again because now in playoffs the arena is full.

I have two suggestions to improve economy management without boosting the income:

1 - Let change arena tickets weekly instead monthly

2 - Share TV income between all weeks: so you know how much income it will be and can plan better (i read at the forum the income was 200-220k and spent accordingly, but one month late found that at my division the income was only 120-140k...) and also if a manager joins in the middle of the season receive a proportional part. I've just missed one match this season, but had 2/3 TV income

I'm a succesful manager (just see my transfer balance and team ratings) but i have a serious debt. I wish my stars sell well because if they put a lot of free agents at season's end again... well my team will go to bankrupt

These are just all beginner faults, every beginner should be carefull with his money and learn everything first before spending it on a 25k a week lvl 10 PR manager. Nothing to blame the game here.

You call youself a succesfull manager while you are in debt. Don't you think that's a little adversative? (no offense)
Of course everyone wants to buy nice players etc, but you need to put your roster in perspective of your division. There is no need at all to have 5 players with high salary's (4500+) in the fifth division. I play in the 3rd and I pay only 41k, and still I will play the PO finals soon.

Managing is not just buying and selling players and put up a team who performs well, there is a lot more included in managing, for example to get a healthy economy.
