you can train several players due to the fact you have 3 times 48 minutes per week.
Normally you will need 2 good players for 1 position, but you can train at least 3.
So you can sell 1 oce you have trained the players, and still keep a very good team.
Due to the fact you sell a trained player, you should get decent moeny from him.

his is making money trough training.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Dispite of our divergences thanks PatjeBono for you constructive and valuable opinion.


Hehe, calm down my friend, I even said: no offense. I wasn't attacking you.

I really think your answer is constructive and valuable, I didn't pretend to be sarcastic. Sorry

You should be making a good portion of your income from ticket sales, some from training, and merchandise should really be ancillary income.


That's my complaint:
How can you get income from ticket sales when you start and made a mistake and can't change the tickets prize for a whole month? 1/3 of the season with 500-600 attendance... Just too much penalty for one mistake (tickets prize too high)

it's also totally mad that you can't change the prizes for playoffs, Semi- Finals and Finals here i am losing money again...
but, how might I expect that the attendance were going to double between the last december regular season match and first january regular season match?

How can you get income from training when the market is flooded with free-agents?

Those are the reasons of my red numbers, at least I sold a player very cheap, but also buy two or three very cheap also and can expect that selling one or two players can be enough to recover , and I may be lucky with the draft even being the last.

You don't get automatic higher attendances for playoff games, so that's not really relevant.

Train well (and long-term) and the money will flow in.

Train guys that people will want to buy.

But it's relevant for me: the arena was full in my first Play-off match I would have got much more income if I would have been able to increase ticket prizes for SF and Finals or initially where the attendance was only 10% .
I don't know how tickets for NBA work but in ÑBA (Spain :) ) teams can change tickets prizes at will for every match. It's mad not doing so, since the attendance is so related with team results in real life and here also I suppose.

look free-agents and how much people pay for them: they are what people want to buy. Usually those players come to market in small quantities, since teams need them to be competitive but as new teams create and botify there are too much outstanding players, meaning that just good players are cheapers and average players don't sell at all

You may complaint about this, but think about your opponent who is depending on your skills to get a good crowd for his income in the PO games... He will receive even less (only 1/3 of almost noting). And he didn't get to choose anything. ;)

I agree that it should be possible to adapt more frequently. 4 or 5 home games without possibility to change is too much.

I disagree that you should be able to change ticket prices at the drop of a hat. Buzzerbeater is a long-term game that requires some thought, and this isn't a bad thing.

You messed it up in the first place by changing it randomly, you can't be upset at the results. You could have asked for advice before doing so or planned ahead better if you wanted to increase spending for the playoffs - you could've figured out the dates.

Plus, a month of missed revenue isn't going to kill your team economically, and if it does, then you were doing something else wrong in the first place.

I agree with Nick...4 month is only 4 home games (during the regular season -- could me more or less in the playoffs). I would think in the real world, ticket prices are only adjusted at the beginning of the season.

This is not thinking just indovination. In real life teams adjust their prizes if they are performing worse or better than expected, and all of them increase tickets for playoffs and finals.

I received the team 10/28/2007 not much time for asking advice about that, and max tickets it's optimun strategy in other games i play. next monthIi followed some directions... and imho its really hard to figure the change in january specially in your first season

It's not going to kill me, but it's annoying to see 10% attendance during a full month and nothing to do to improve that, and I would have better trained players now. I regret the lost opportunities...
