Poor start to the thread, but it seems like you actually want to improve and are just a bit frustrated...

I may just be piling on here, but, no, upgrading your stadium is not a zero sum game. You can sell about 5000 seats at $12 ($60k), but could probably sell 6000 seats at $11 ($66k) or 7000 at $10 ($70k). There is an aditional $10k profit right there only counting lost money on bleachers. I have a rule that I try to keep my player salary under my average arena profit to make sure I don't get too far ahead of myself (and I have to plan ahead when training players for salary increases).

The next point is 2 position training. Your team is well rounded, but you have maybe 1-2 players worth training. Period. No need to train 5-6 players right now. Get some young players 18-19 to mix into your rotation, you are losing 30% effectiveness by 2 position training and probably an additional 40% effectiveness by training 25 year olds. There's not much left there. I would definitely recommend 1 position training 2-3 players.

Buzzer-manager.com is a great website for advanced statistics. I log into there just as often as here. You can see the statistics you described above plus much more. It is a lot of work for the creators to maintain the site and add new features while doing this in their spare time and making it free for the average user. The userbase has filled the void and made some nice products.

By the way, the whole country thing is to encourage and reward players who build through the draft. I personally enjoy having American players with the occasional foreigner instead of a hodgepodge of players with names I can't pronounce. But that is my perogative and individual bias. I do think it would be valuable to change it to benefit players who have been on your team for multiple seasons (fans know who they are and will buy their jerseys [Ginobli, Duncan, Parker]), but that benefit is built into the fan survey and thus arena attendance.

Promotion attendance "boost" lasts only for six home games. I also suspect that if your arena is the biggest in your league and the ticket prices are the lowest, you make it a bit harder for others to fill their stadia.
Merchandize is weird, and the advice I have seen is to not pay any mind to it, hope for anything or strategize it.
2-pos training means your team gets better faster for cheaper. You can sink to training starters that are cheap. You do not suffer from 48 mins of playing with a hole. 5 men 2pos training goes very smoothly. if you want similiar smoothness with 1pos you can only really train 2 players. 2x100 < 5x60.
1-pos training allows you to maximize players with higher potential, and if I drafted a worthy superstar, I would probably have switched to 1pos. For now I cap starters/stars doing 2pos.
Just get your players to playoffs with proficient GS and max. Enth. and hope for the best!

Yes, looking to improve and this thread has given me some things to work on moving forward. I'll check out that web-site for the statistics as well- thanks! I agree on the american/foreign players. I'd think after a while my fans would warm up to any player whom has been on the team regardless of country of origin.

Thanks for the advice!

It's also your stadium.

I understand how you can think that adding to your stadium only brings the need to reduce ticket prices, and that, in turn, makes profit seem minimal. This is entirely accurate, though. The gain can be minimal yet can be very beneficial. If you manage ticket prices well, you can sustain a higher paid roster. A higher paid roster (not mono-skilled but balanced players) will usually get more Ws. More Ws means more seats filled.

You should also look into trading. A lot of people use it to build their bank balance.

You're completely right, the economy of the game is broken and so is the training.
HELLO, when people don't want their players to improve because they'll become to expensive, that's when you know there's a problem! When $500,000 salaried players sell for less than a mill because no one can afford to pick up that salary, there's another problem!~
And the other issue of training, it's so brutally slow. It isn't as serious as the economic system of the game though.

There's no contradiction, if the economic issues were sorted the quicker training wouldn't be an issue. I'm not going to get too hung up on the training though because I don't see that as a major issue. The economy is my main concern for the reasons mentioned earlier.

Are you sure?

I was relegated last season and despite winning all cup games, TV, rival and all but one league game, despite having a NT player, a borderline U21 player, despite having the best record in the league, despite having the top assist man in the league, the third top scorer, the 8th top rebounder, despite still having an original team player, a draft pick and 9 of my 12 players being Aussies my fans HATE me and refuse to come to my arena.

I have had 5 home games so far. If my fans forgive me after the 6th game and start coming back to my arena I will be so happy. I hope you are correct.

He said promotion boost not demotion penalty. You relegated, therefore your fans hate you for more than six games......The End.
