Div V experience: legendary (20+)

lol@useless.. then show me who has made that amount if it useless, I had 2.6 millions reason why it was not useless. This game is about money in the bank.. You wont get anywhere with out the money to attain arena, players. salary, medical needs for the team.

That is not bragging. it funny some like to ignore the fact, said I fire the teams building managers and get cheaper ones.

IF I remember correct you told me last season I would be struggling with salary and in last place in 4 league.. I was one game away from the league championship match. I had 4 straight games on the road. This season I'm in 1st place with the same exact team. So ill take my way over anything you have to put out about how I play. Ive proven you wrong

I built my arena 1st in those 7 seasons. Its out of the way unlike some managers above me that still need to do it.

Let's break it down:

8 seasons @$70K per week should give 7.84 million. Your weekly income should probably in fact be higher than this, since you either did not spend money on the draft or completely failed at spending your scouting points (I checked every one of your drafts, and you usually got your top choice who was always a scrub. You never scouted some great player and had him drafted before you, although you did miss out on some players due to poor/nonexistent scouting). Also, as you expanded your arena, your weekly income should be higher than $70K, especially when you're playing minimal salaries to scrubs. Furthermore, this does not count any cup income or income from selling players, which you should have both if you're able to get good draftees, have plenty of time and opportunity for training and selling, and can conserve enthusiasm for cup games.

You ended up with $2.6 million. This means you should have spent approximately $5 million on your arena if you made $70K a week (staff acquisitions should not cost more than $240K, and if you stayed in D.V for 8 seasons you clearly didn't buy good players), and if you made more than that as you should have then you would have had even more to spend.

Your arena expansions cost you $1.68 million for bleachers, $1,154,300 for lower tier, $700K for lower tier, and $160K for arena. In all, you spent $3,694,300 on your arena. This means you wasted at least $1.3 million+income from cup games+income from training. So don't brag too much about the $2.6 million you did have; even if you didn't mind wasting 5-7 seasons in BB-purgatory that is a bot D.V, you should have had at least 50% more.

Please, tell me more about your brilliant managerial strategy.

If you read what I wrote I said build your arena 1st. Keep the pr manager fire the rest.. You have fill the seats just buying players is not going to do that, it happens over time, a pr manager helps that happens in better fashion , its all about timing the building with the arena. I bought a lvl 3-4 pr manager and was making almost 1.5-2 million a season in 5 league.. I made at least 7-9 million in 5 league, and when I promoted I had 2.6 million on hand. That right 2.6 million in 4 division upon arrival. Did you?

I've never had over a million dollars in the bank - partially because I was building my arena every week or two while romping through V, and then continued building my arena while romping through IV. Money in this game is a tool to be used to achieve goals, not a goal in and of itself. And I was selling well over 90% of my seats and pulling in 100k/game that second season in V with a level 2 PR manager. That's not a lot of course but my average profit weekly in V (excluding arena spending) was close to 100k/week and was over it much of my time in IV.

Let us see you do it, your in v league lets us see you do it , beat 2.6 million upon promotion to 4 league. (lol).. or 50% more lol , lets be realistic here its not about the money.

If I can do that in 5 league then image what I can do in nbba with the salary. I don't want to get it to that because you cant tell about my team finances. I could talk you to riches with how get more money out your team today and promote you 18 million on hand. yes more of what you have today.

Don't get mad because at me because I had a plan an stuck to it. Get your self a plan and come stick to me and my ball club. I play to win, the money is just a small perk

You just don't get it. You could have made 2.6 million a lot faster in a higher division if you promoted faster. (er, figured out how to beat bots faster)

If I can do that in 5 league then image what I can do in nbba with the salary.

If it took you that long to get out of div V, how long to get to NBBA? (not in this lifetime)

come stick to me and my ball club

Not very tempting. (what would one use? that's a lot of u-hu sticks)

It's hard to argue with that type of ignorance. In your first thought you say it's not about the money. Before you're done you talk about how it's a small perk.As someone mentioned before, what is the point of having that money sit in the bank? Are you drawing interest on it and if so, can you share with us how we can?

Turtle pointed out in your long stay in Div 5 you should have walked away with twice as much money as you did. I for one, would love for you to tell us about how turtle could get more money out of his team today and promote with 18 million on hand. Then explain how that 18 million now will help in the long run better than that 18 million would if it was invested into his arena.

I feel like you're misinterpreting everyone's opinions and math as an attack at how you play the game. They're just trying to enlighten you that your way is not the only way and what works for you, doesn't mean that's how everyone should play the game.

You may play to win, some may play for the competition and want to move out of division 5 before they make 2.6 or 18 million.

Let us see you do it...beat 2.6 million upon promotion to 4 league

Well, unlike you, I have a much more rational view of money and time than to sit around for 8 seasons twiddling my thumbs just to accumulate money in my bank account that I really should be spending. I will never have significant money sitting unspent at least until my arena is fully built, because if I'm not consistently investing in my arena then I'm missing out on the potential extra income from weekly seats. But will I earn similar or greater profits? Of course. They just won't sit in my bank account, because the opportunity cost for that is too high at this stage in the game.

ets be realistic here its not about the money.

You're the one who was bragging about his $2.6 million and holding that up as your standard of excellence (however misguided that may be). So let's be realistic here; for you it is about the money. For the rest of us it may not be.

If I can do that in 5 league then image what I can do in nbba with the salary.

Like Kumiko said, you'll never reach the NBBA at the rate you're going, but even if you did I think you'd find it's not at all what you expect.

you cant tell about my team finances

I don't know anything about your team finances. Maybe you didn't manage efficiently in your earlier years and wasted income (due to things like impulse overbidding on players, overpriced staff, exorbitant ticket prices, etc.) but from my own experience and the experience of others I provided a very reasonable estimate of a modest weekly income for a tanker in D.V at $70K/week.

I could talk you to riches with how get more money out your team today and promote you 18 million on hand

This ought to be good...pardon my skepticism and excuse me while I fall to the floor convulsing with laughter. You really don't get it, do you?

Get your self a plan and come stick to me and my ball club

You really think I don't have a plan? In the words of a not-so-famous author (but a quote I really like), "It is ever the way of the sick to imagine their disease in others". Although the evidence of that plan may not be visible to the undiscerning eye, everything is going as hoped. And trust me, my plan does not involve taking 8 seasons to promote.

I should probably just leave you to your own way of thinking, but this is so much fun...

I am so tempted to get involved in this discussion, however, I will just concur with you and Michael Wolf, Turtle.

One thing I will add though is...#Mr Glass; Man, does your computer or phone/ tablet have spell checker? And do your sentences read right to you before you post them? They are very painful (but humorous) to get through.

That's my 5c.

I get it quite well, all you have is come backs and substance not so much.. Like I said I was not bragging about having money.. If your big enough to bark at moon then your then big enough to walk in to the night. Get of the porch and walk big boy. Take the challenge!.

Talking others down is quite easy to do. You got no plan, lips service is easy to come by, I'm not selling quotes unlike your self. You either take the challenge or say nothing at all.

Don't end up your Canadian friend and have a excuse.. I pulled your card.. its play or fold
