Hello colleagues!
I propose to reconsider the dependence of matches won and behavior of fans. How can team lost in all matches and the stadium completely filled? But the team that plays better, has less profit on tickets?
(1366) look at this league.
For example (44332) and my team (43890) I won 3 games - He won 0 games. Look at the attendance!
This is not correct. Team that loses the season (saves money) has more profit on tickets than the rest.
I understand that the team went into the elite this season and has many fans but these fans can stand losing 4 - 5 games in a row but not 11 games and go on to the stadium again and enjoy the losing of their team.
I propose to significantly reduce the number of fans if the team loses 5 official matches in a row.
I also think that it is necessary to raise the lower limit of salaries because there are very few now.
Team that went to the elite must fight for survival but not to save money and go back to the lower leagues.
Examples are many and I hope the developers site to take action.
Thanks.
Good luck!

I also think that it is necessary to raise the lower limit of salaries because there are very few now.

I agree only with this.

I think it's normal you follow your team just promoted, even if it loses a lot of matches. About 11 games is fine.

Everything looks good for me. You had the same situation in past, when You were shortly after promotion. And this team must use different strategy to have chance to fight with clubs which exist longer. You received club in 1st league, he received in 3rd league, so You have huge advantage. He can decrease this advantage in this season but not whole. And I think he deserves for it because he had harder way. And please note that fans are happy only one season after promotion. In next season he will have very bad attendance.

It is the same thing all over. Look at my league.

Chelsea Seagulls record 9-2 2nd in the Big 8.
Hobos 0-11 last in the Great 8.

Chelsea Seagulls roster $ 312 959.
Hobos roster $ 91 036.

Chelsea Seagulls Country Rank: 25
Hobos Country Rank: 76

Chelsea Seagulls ticket sales for Bonbeach Arena 12,700 x 14, 1,780 x 45, 497 x 115, 19 x 1,000 = $ 325,155.
Hobos ticket sales for Garbage Can 16,000 x 13, 2099 x 42, 308 x 150, 18 x 1,000 = 360,358.

In what universe does this make sense? I know the manager and we have had many friendly chats. I actually have a higher level PR as well. It is not the fault of the managers who exploit the flaw in the game but it is crazy that people will pay $1,000 each to sit in a "luxury box"in the Garbage Can watching their team being flogged by 100 each week while they are clearly not even trying to win.

It makes sense. Because in this way teams, which joined later to BB, have chance to fight with older clubs.
In real life only 10-30 the best clubs have chance to fight to win national championships. Teams which have long history and big sponsors. Other teams can't even dream to be the best.
But these rules will be bad in BB and game will be not playable. In thise game every team should have chance to be top-1.

but if you was honest, you could have mention that the seagulls sell out every category and probadly make around 500k with the right prices - whch seems to me more realistic for a winning first div team(i am mking 630k atm)

but if you was honest

Well the Seagulls don't sell out every category and have no chance of making $500k with the right prices. I sell 19 of my 20 luxury boxes every game and about 490 of my 500 courtside seats every game. That seems fairly good pricing to me. My lower tier I wasn't selling out (typically 1500-1600 of 1780) so I dropped the price $5 and they all sell out. I don't think putting the price up $5 (which I am currently slated to do) will jump me from $350,000 to $500,000, more likely I will have some empty seats and make about the same but I do hope that in some big games I may make an extra $10,000. Same with the bleachers, I was selling wildly inconsistent amounts from as low as 8,300 to one game that was full but typically around 10,000 of my 12,200 (now 12,700) were selling. I dropped the prices $1 and now seem to sell out every week. I also plan to put them up again but worry that I may actually make a loss if I go back to having 3,000 empty seats each game for that $1.

So if I was honest, I would say I have thought a great deal about all these figures and for the size of arena I have, I have the best (or very close to the best) prices I could have.

If I was like the Hobos and only had a salary floor roster I could afford to add 1000 bleachers every week seeing as they have a full house of people that want to pay $1,000 each to see some random scrubs off the street get flogged but 100.

you sell out after a loss game in the two cheapest categorys, if thesy didn't change anything thats a big difference especially for a winning team and not a small different to the perfect prices. So i still don't like the comparision.

because that are the categorys who are affected by the succes. The other sell quite constant.

Just because it is a lot of money, but perhaps I will take your advice. However two seasons ago I came within five points of promoting to the ABBL, last season I had a better team but was wrecked by injuries, so I guess the story is that I have been on the cusp for a while and feel the need to horde my cash not put it into a long term investment. But that is always one of the big dilemas of the game and that is what makes it such a great game.
