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.

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.

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.
