He was being ironic. Like saying "If you think your case is too bad, try mine"

I have a 12-7 team in an incredibly tough division. My fans are at 2.5 basketball and my last home game VS a playoff team drew 67% of my arena....My prices are low btw.....Could you people at BB lighten up on this because it is totally unrealistic. Any team with a good record palying a playoff bound team this late in the season should be drawing fat crowds. There are a few glitches in this game I have noticed in the year I have been palying but the fans is by far the worst.


Lower the price of the bleachers some more, not too much. Also, your courtside seats are always full so consider increasing the prices there a bit.

Don't get relegated like someone said. Make a plan for next season or 2. I suggest you train young players and focus on promoting next season. For example, train outside players (with focus on Peachey, Marion, Pritchard, Caugas). They are all young enough to train and short enough. Also they have some potential. I see your best player is 32 so he won't last much longer. Concentrate on outside training and collect money so you can buy replacement for the veteran.

Hopefully you'll dominate the league next season with this approach. I think it's the way to go but also listen other managers what they have to say.

Only one advice: try to win away games.

I have a 18-1 record, number one in my league and don't sell out. I didn't have a great Cup and sold and bought a good amount of players, So I second the poster that said that the fans in BB are tough. Really tough.

I think you've been tough on them also...they want to fill the arena, but can't because of your ticket prices

Compare your arena with Sportivo Travesti; he has a bit bigger arena than yours, lower prices and in the average makes the same amount as you (168-170k/game). So with 13-6 record he has the same arena revenue as you with 18-1 record. So who is tough now?

Thanks for the advise! Which seats should you lower first?

All those who aren't full But something else is important: are you going to promote? If you are, there's no sense in lowering ticket prices because next season you will have a full arena no matter what. If you are going to promote, I'd leave the ticket prices like this for now; it's playoff time and you will have full arena again.

Thanks for the tip. I hope that this time I promote, I had three consecutive finals!!!!

Off topic: How do you see my team? Is there anything you see that I might be doing wrong?

Right now, I'm playing inside tactics and I'm preparing an outside attack for the PO? Sholud that be a good idea, for example, against Quimica? Thanks in advance!!!

I think this is very good advice. Losing home games hurts attendance, but losing away games causes a huge drop in attendance for your next game. Also, I'd think about raising prices on courtside seats (or build more of them), and possibly getting a cheap PR guy with National Appeal (just my personal preference).

Some guy told me winning 3/4 games will give you your max attendance at your current prices in your current leauge.
(since you can charge more in higher leagues and lower prices give more people to a certain point, but I guess it's uneccesary to state this :P)

I think your team is balanced, your GS is good, you know how to manage enthusiasm...I don't think I can tell you anything you don't already know Yes, for the last league game I'd try outside attack to see how it goes against Quimica. Even if you lose, there's no harm because you can't lose first place anymore. I'd try Motion because you have decent Offensive Flow and Qimica doesn't have very good defense, and you will also mitigate their RnG with slowing down the pace.
