Ive got some suggestions for this game. First off, the games are ridiculously high scoring. I had a scrimmage that was 140 to 180 for me and that was with my bad players. Players are scoring much to easily with my team average at like .533 and its just to unreal. Also, the arena prices are all messed up. If you had max capacity and you decided to add 100 benches which would only generate and extra 2000 dollars if you continued to max out, it would cost you 20000 which would take 10 games to work off. You cant add a decent amount of seats with the money that you make from them or the money in you have. If anything, it should work like the Hattrick way. Where there was a large initial fee but the adding of actual seats was relatively cheap. Also, in Hattrick, you make like 600000 per game, not 60000. This would mean that there would be more large scale improvements instead of just a bunch of little ones. It would also be more realistic I think. Thats my 2 cents.

I agree with the arena expansion costs...it takes a long time to pay off the cost especially at the lower league levels(even II). I don't mine the high scoring, makes the game more exciting even if it makes it a little less realistic. 140 -180 seems too high though its only one game.

From what I understand about the market in Hattrick was that there was/is too much income and the inflation of the HT$ was out of control.

By making Area's very expensive the BB's are trying to control the creation of money within the game.

Talking about the scoring etc. The BBs are reviewing a lot of things at the end of the season to see what is working and what is not working. But you have to remember we are playing a game, not a electronic duplicate of basketball. It is very difficult to develop a bunch of logic rules that perfectly mimic the rules of basketball.

I can tell you a mantra from Hattrick.

Arena expansion is an investment. It's supposed to take a while before it pays off.

From what I understand about the market in Hattrick was that there was/is too much income and the inflation of the HT$ was out of control.

Actually what happened there was that the salaries were too high and we didnt have money to pay it, because the only way to make real money was to train/sell players, but their market value was dropping exponentially as the market grew. But the rest of your point is correct anyway.

I think another reason for the smaller and more expensive arenas on BB is that this is basketball, not soccer. In real life basketball arenas are obviously much smaller, and so it is the attendence and the income. We cannot have arena expansion cheaper because we cannot have arenas with 100k seats (like my HT arena) :D
