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.

Thanks, I feel great ;)

I was thinking in throwing an iso or base, and use motion or rng if/when I meet him in PO, but I consider using that and try to confuse him!

Yes, I agree with LA-Koperboy. You know what works for your team, if you've got the #1 spot locked up, you might as well mix it up a little bit for the last few games and give him less of an idea of what will work. Who knows, maybe you'll even stumble upon a new combination that you can employ for some games if you promote.

If I had to face him in PO today, I'd probably go RNG, especially if I assure the homecourt. Secondly, I'd pick motion, but if I play in my stadium, I don't want to give away that advantage.

For the time being, I'm going with push the ball but 90% chances that won't be my tactic in PO.-

My attendence was very high until you decided to CT me and we lost. Now we probably won't make the playoffs

@Redstone357 Try using the arena attendance helper at http://bb-usa.host22.com/attendance/attendance.php

You will need to generate an access key in the preferences menu of BB to be able to access it. The optimal price generates on the bottom of the graph, just round it up or down accordingly. Make sure to set the correct Division as well. You can PM if you need any help with it. I'm only in D.V but it has helped me stabilize my arena income. I don't make as much when good teams come to town but neither does revenue drop majorly when the scrubs roll in.

I wasn't too happy at first because the prices it suggested were 72% of league midpoint pricing (that is halfway between league min./max.) but I'm able to plan my finances a little better now. Make sure to adjust prices every time you contract any expansions to your arena too. Joga Bonito.

I read in the Game Manual that Local Players (with Talent, of course) bring more fans, along with Players on the National Team. Now, to win, you may need to grab that Serbian Center for your USA Team (I'm trying it to get an early Winning Advantage right now, hope I land him, though meeting the Salary will be tough)... and the Wins will help fill the seats. However, not having any Local Talent will hurt, since I'll basically be riding the Serb as far as we can go so he'll be the focus getting all the Awards and such.

You built a nice squad, top of the leauge, but the fans haven't gone all Dallas Maverick and connected with the Foriegn players yet. I am not sure if this happens over time, like if you keep the guy for a few years and he becomes a Local Hero or such, or if he will never have the same draw as a Local Star, but being heavy on Outside Talents instead of Local could be why you are not selling out yet.

By the way, teams like the Mavericks and the Spurs, who both have a high density of Foriegn Players, still sell out, and some Foriegn Players have some of the best NBA Marketing in the League... so I'm not sure how much of a bias the game puts into something like that... but it may need to be looked at again and re-tooled.

Your league is really not tough at all. What I would do is add one huge scoring threat (gaurd) with salary arounf 30k. he will give you at least 3 more wins per season, and cash more money.
