I was thinking about doing two things, first of all. I was thinking of buying a good player, then fire a couple of players. But then again, i was going to add to my arena, because i'm still filling my bleachers and courtside seats. All of my ticked prices will be lower as of next month.

And also, i have another question. Do you get more home games during the week, after a winning season the last season? I went to my conference finals last season and lost both games, but it seems like i've been average two hom games during the week, every week so far.

I'm kind of thinking of adding to my arena but i need another scorer bad, and if i do buy another player, i will fire two others that i don't need. So what do you think i should do?

You play 11 home games and 11 away games each season for the league. You may be getting more home Cup games but the Cup draw is random so u have just been lucky.

Raise the prices on your Bleachers. 9 or 10 dollars is about right for your league there. Lower the price of your Lower Tier to 30-35 and you should start selling or close to selling those out. I'm amazed that your league is selling out their Courtside seats at even $150, 135 is probably more realistic so you're good there. Your Luxury Boxes are too high and should probably be about 900-950. The rest of your league is also pricing them too high and you see that they don't fill theirs either. As for building projects it looks like you could definitely use more Bleachers and Courtside seats first. How many of each depends on your finances.

Just from looking at Best Positions and not delving too far into your games, it looks like you could easily get rid of a Center and PF to bring those down to a main and backup for each position. I can't tell what you're training since your guards and SFs range all over in height and age. As well, it doesn't look like you're playing any of your PFs or Centers at all. I can't tell what skills those SFs have but I would imagine that you have at least a viable PF and Center to play instead in those positions. At the moment, I'd actually say that you need a big man or two to anchor your team before you get into throwing out money to a strong guard or SF. Big men are usually relatively cheap while guards can be expensive for even moderately skilled ones so it's often easier to grab a kick butt Center that will scare your opponent into not going inside while he marches across the court for easy points.

Oh yeah, those small forwards, at least my top two have, one has strong jump shot which is why i'm keeping him and one has i think its profiecient jump shot, i know its higher than strong. And that's the main reason i'm keeping those players around. Donald burrows is my small forward and my main scorer, Matti has a decent midrange game as well, and got plenty of rebounds in my cup game last night and is one of the main reasons which i think is why i won.

I'm planning on dropping a couple of players especiially Phillip who's a 6'0 power forward, who i use to play as a shooting gaurd, and a player i don't need any more. I'm going to fire him. Actually as far as the bleachers, they are already set as of the next update next month at $10 and i actually lowered a few other prices, i think i lowered the courtside seats as well.

Again all the prices will show up next month, but i think i did before i made my first post for sure in this thread, that i did lower all of my ticked prices.

Yeah bbk, i am planning on expanding my arena, and i think that's what i'll do, especially since i have another home game tomorrow, and i can always buy another player at another time. Oh, i actually have the luxury boxes set for next month at $600 and i'll raise them to $800 at least, because i don't want them too high because i have been filling those seats. Luxury box average is 4 out of 7 seats with a couple of times at least, at 5.

I think i will expand my arena a bit more especially my bleachers since they keep filling up, and with it being $10 as of next month, i think the fans will still fill up the bleachers, although i may lower the price to $7, which is what i think i'll do. Thanks guys.

Looking at your set prices for February, you're going to sell out every game. And lose money from prices set too low when they could be higher. Seeing the rest of your league 10 dollar Bleachers will likely completely sell out and 9 dollar ones definitely will. Why set them to 7? 25 dollar Lower Tier seat prices is criminal. Again, you'll sell them all, but you'll also sell them all at 30 and probably 35. You're completely selling your Courtside seats as they are. Why are you lowering prices there? Luxury Boxes are probably the most sane change here, but are probably better off set at 900 instead.

I'm sure you'll sell all your current seats at the price you've set. And you'll make 61,600 a home game doing it. Yeah, that's 9000 more than you made in your last home game, but that's not much more money really when you *could* be making 82,775 at the prices I recommended.

You should NEVER sell out your arena. 90ish % is optimal.

Think about it this way: assume that lowering the price will sell out your arena, but it will also decrease the return on every seat that you are normally selling.

So, if you normally sell 3700 out of 4000 bleacher seats at $10, and you drop the price $1. You lose $3700 ($1 x 3700 seats) and gain $2700 ($9 x 300 new seats) for a net loss of $1000.

Thanks, i'll take your advice and set those prices as what you said, thanks all.
