I've run as afoul as any others I would say in these forums and I really think that people are EXTREMELY unfair with the staff.

EXTREMELY unfair.
Lets agree to disagree here.

.I assure you from my Utopia experience that by playing in England the way you do/have you have never played buzzerbeater the way it is for an Italian (as an example)...>
Let's agree to disagree. D2 in England was easier at the bottom (to not relegate), but D2 in England was also a lot tougher (the top 4-5 teams in either conference) than any D2 season I've had so far in Utopia. I have yet to see a single team breaking 155-160 BB-Stats in D2 Utopia, while I've seen that done by multiple teams in England every season. In Utopia most teams get by with 110-120ish BB-Stats which is underwhelming and a lot of top teams don't break 140. Because of this, it would be a lot easier to buy a promotion in D2 Utopia than it has ever been in D2 England (well maybe not nowadays, considering the state of the Transfer List).

One reason I think the staff are getting attacked so much in the forums lately is that I think with all the issues and problems that went on for so long the more reasonable users have by-in-large quit the game. Sayonara they went...
I think users are frustrated that nothing is being done to address legitimate long-term concerns and the staff gets easily frustrated when someone brings up the same issue another time. Ultimately, if you are asking not to blame the staff reacting with frustration, then you should do the same for the users, shouldn't you? You don't have to go that far to see someone opening a new thread and 2-3 GMs immediately jumping at him and writing most of the initial comments.

I agree that Ryan seems to be a reasonable and fairly amicable person, but let's not pretend they are all like him.

16 weeks are over and my team has to pay full salary floor payment. But the 16 weeks were helpful.

Economy
Total cash reserves: $ 1 591 847
Player Salaries: $ 317 354 Attendance: $ 434 375
today: Total Player Salaries: $ 134 402
Staff Salaries: $ 16 788 Merchandise: $ 43 612
Scouting: $ 10 000 TV Contract: $ 151 121
Total: $ 344 142 Total: $ 629 108
Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 284 966
Last home game: 15600 Fans (100% full)

My arena:
Bleachers : 13225 (Current Price: $15)
Lower Tier : 1850 (Current Price: $60)
Courtside Seats : 500 (Current Price: $190)
Luxury Boxes : 25 (Current Price: $1200)
Total Capacity : 15600

The arena is currently undergoing expansion, to add:
Bleachers: 1545
Lower Tier: 50
Courtside Seats: 0
Luxury Boxes: 5
The expansion will be complete in approximately 6 days.

So the coach has to work very hard now to increase the performance.

From time to time a better player will be bought, but I think to be competitive even in the first UAE-league it will take more than 2 seasons more. But I am satisfied with the developments.

Thank everybody for their help.
