Oh, I agree, it's completely artificial. But then again, so are a lot of sporting regimes, i.e. the EPL - the top few clubs are completely propped up by their owners, who chuck in bucketloads of money every season. It's hard to replicate that fairly on here :/

Player Salaries: $ 97 000
Staff Salaries: $ 39 000
Scouting: $ 10 000 (i have always sworn that i have always spent 20k wrong)

Attendance: $ 176 000
Merchandise: $ 40 000
TV Contract: $ 72 000

Typical Weekly Net Income:$ 126 000

how is that?

Well done on promoting so efficiently. However, that is still a large degree of tanking...
Ask the others from 3/10. You needed to be at the absolute maximum capacity of your revenue to promote back then (like you do in any active league). The team I had to beat was similar to yours, except he had 250k worth of starting guards. It was even harder the season before when my opponent had an almost identical balanced line up.

"tanking is at an all time high"


can u blame anyone...

Not anyone in particular...
I think tanking is a detriment to the game. However, there is no way to stop it, and if you're not a part of the revolution, you have no chance in competing.
The issue with it is last I heard iwen had 15 million banked from last season. No doubt of his ability as a manager, but anyone who has a basic understanding of the game can dominate anyone with that. Yes, saving money is a legitimate strategy, but it kills the ability to genuinely out think an opponent, therefore killing the competition (the whole purpose of competing).
So while the few of us that planned to make our run this season, we are praying for several miracles to have any chance. Then when we waste resources to compete for second, managers like camel tank toward a figure that will make him unstoppable. This season it 15 million, next its 17, then 20 and so on...
Same as training. Why spend seasons training a players who is well behind for the first few seasons when you can cut back on staff and tank a few seasons and buy ready made players?
It's no longer what you know. It's how patient you can be...

It doesn't make sense that my local club team could buy an NBA player (even if it's for a short time) because the NBA teams won't sign him due to his salary being too much.

Youre local club could buy any uncontracted nba player if they want to go broke. And the nba are currently going through a shortened season due to players striking because their contracts are higher than the franchises can maintain...

Still, this does point out the same issue in this game. Maybe a hard salary cap would help regulate excessive salaries and balance out the difference between the top teams.

As you seem to have stated above, it should be more about tactics.

If they want people to spend loads of time on here, they should go deeper into the tactics.

Tanking and saving money for seasons and seasons, while legitimate is boring. But then it's probably the best way to win if you didn't start 15 seasons ago.

I don't have that much money guys, relax.

Besides, I made good money on my core trainees, so I say it was worth the effort.

Just hoping for a good draft pick without going down to III...

do you guys think if BB flooded the market for high quality trainers at bargain basement prices, that would encourage teams to train rather than buy and sell quality players?
i'm just looking @ trainers to buy and they get really expensive for high quality ones. The price to pay for a top quality low salary trainer can get as expensive as a 100k+ player!!

Yup, definitely.

Maybe they could even have a TL for trainers.

great idea jw

u should post it on the suggestions board

if u dont ill steal ur idea & post it myself :P

having 2 spend 600k 2 get a trainer & 30k a week is the big factor in killing training 4 lots of people i guess

after all this time of being wrong the market has shifted so much that naker is right

hahah if you are willing to make the effort to suggest the idea is all yours!
yeah i guess that's the reason why Training has become a weakness in the game now. If things don't change, i can see managers who train be beaten by teams promoting and just using the "Naker" strategy to win.
