Hey everyone,

I have been playing Buzzerbeater now for a few weeks now, and I am enjoying the game very much!
I just had a question/suggestion about the economy page. (and I hope this topic hasn't been brought up before)

When looking on the economy page, I noticed that my positive beginning and ending balances are on the "credit" side.
Now I am assuming my beginning/ending balances represent how much cash my team has, which should be a debit if it's a positive number, and a credit if it's a negative number, because cash is considered an asset.

Now, I understand that expenses are debits and revenues are credits, but shouldn't my beginning and ending balances should be on the debit side of the economy page because they are a positive valued asset?

So my suggestion is to switch the positive beginning/ending balances to the debit side of the economy page and negative balances to the credit side. Or to take it a step further, and perhaps break up the economy page into two parts. The first part could be the income statement for your team, showing all the revenues and expenses. The second part could represent a cash flow statement showing the beginning/ending cash balances for every week.

I hope everyone understands what I'm trying to say. Sorry if this suggestion isn't flowing too well.
