I only have 12 players, but I have negative funds. I want to try and build my stadium, but it's so expensive.

I'm not sure if you're asking a question but after taking a quick look at your roster and arena, How much are you spending weekly on trainers?

almost $60,000

I agree with Lopo. It would be in your best interest to gain money to invest into your arena or players, whichever you prefer. If you want to play long term I would suggest investing into your arena. You'll find many posts in this forums titled arena that will show what some experienced players believe is the best way to grow an arena in the early stages.

Make sure you read the game manual. Reading the Economy page will help you earn money. http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Econ...

A level 4 trainer is sufficient and a doctor and PR trainers won't give you much of an advantage right now so I would fire them to gain more weekly revenue.

my players are trainable, this game just takes a little getting used to

spend no more than 25k on staff. im in D4 and spend 26k on staff. train some good players buy some 5 digit salary people no higher than 25k. invest in arena to support that salary. dont invest in draft if ranked high in league. keep Americans on team and you should be making money

Your problem is your Bleacher ticket prices. They are WAY TOO HIGH. Reign them in a bit. I know you have a small arena, but when your only selling 25% of your bleachers, you've drastically reduced your revenue income.

Just last home game, you only made $21,690, on your Bleachers! Thats pathetic.

Now look and see what happens, if you drop those prices to $8 or $9, a much more reasonable price, considering your teams record and potential.

$36,000 for a sell out at $8 and $40,500 for $9 dollar tickets. Thats much better then $21,690!

listen. fire 1player or sell your best.. Keep/ or get a ( lvel 3)PR manager fire the rest of them if you want to, I think physical trainer level 2-3 will do.

PR manager is very important with a new team in my opini0n, you need to get your team out there in name and fans to games.. I have done this way for a very long time.it also depends on who you are playing those games. But you should get a estimate amount of what your making.

Cut off the draft funds for a while, or fire the weakest or sell your best player.. try to gain some revenue for the time being. At level 5 a pr manager ( lvl 2) will or trainer lvel 3 only choose 1.. if your building then your going to need both if trying to gain revenue go Pr manager.. if just building for future get the trainer


I recommend doing arena in set of 3500- 5000. It going be a lot of saving. good luck

I recommend he read everything you just wrote and then do mostly the opposite.

The highest salary player is only 12k and the rest are all single digits and 14, while a big size, is hardly unsustainable.

For a PR to be worth his salary, he's got to bring in additional revenue beyond his salary, and with a new team and a small arena in a lower level, that's just not likely to happen. If anything, the PR manager could be used more to get a cheap guy with National Appeal or Crowd Involvement specialty for key games, otherwise carrying a 2k basic is acceptable and no reason at all for more than a level 2. As people have attempted to explain to you in different threads, this game is not real life - the concept of "getting your team's name out there" doesn't matter. If you price your seats well and have decent success and don't swap through players like toilet paper, you'll have decent attendance.

The problem the OP has is way too much salary invested in staff, period, end of story. There's no need to have much more than a level 2 doctor or PR manager, nor a trainer above level 4. There's no reason this staff should be anywhere near 60k combined.

And finally, increasing the arena incrementally is much better than waiting a season or two for a single massive upgrade. There's no separate fee to initiate construction, so the question is would you rather wait for a season for new seats, or be able to sell some of them in a week and more of them in another week and so on? For the same cost, you get more money from incremental improvement
