Guys... Im playing this game for 13-14 seasons. I know how to manage my team. Just last 2 seasons Im tired of everything.

Im not talking about this season, or about last one. Im talking about whole game! Just check players values in last 5 seasons and everything will be clear.
5 seasons ago I bought player for 7 mil, after one season of training his value was 12 mil. And now, after 5 seasons his "Price Estimate" is 1,5 mil. I bought player for 3,5 mil, and after one week I sold him for 1,5 mil.

I played first league last...idk 2-3 seasons without buying any "player" and I cant earn anything more than paying salaries at end of season. With only 4 good players in your team! Without any substitute! And only one player was with high salary!

What are the ways to earn money in this game?
1- Attendance from only LEAGUE game <---- not enough even for salaries
2- Day trading <==== yes daytrading is only way if you are lucky. Because managers cant have long time plans in this game like I planned. I cant buy the best player from draft and plan to rise him to be the best SF in game, because after 5 seasons his value will be 10 times lower than I expected.

There is no 3. way to earn money! There is no youth academy to promote new players and get some money from there. There is no money at end of season for league achievement, there is no money for MvP title, there is no money from Attendance in cup matches... but we have staffs with extremely high salaries... lolz why?!?

I've never heard any other managers complaining because of the lack of income.
There are good times but also bad times. Life is never fair, deal with it.

Hey pal... without any offense, but you are playing this game only few months. You cant even know what was 3, 5 or 10 seasons ago =.=

With the new changes regarding not having to pay salaries during weeks with no competitive games you will find yourself making a much higher profit now because you will be making money during playoff time and offseason instead of losing money due to paying salaries.

Also, to be fair, if your arena income + merchandising + tv contract isn't enough to pay for your staff and player salaries and scouting then you are spending too much money and need to cut back.

And there is another way to make money, training players.

One of your points is that in the past the players had more values and could sold for much more than today. Well I understand that it is stressful because overall you're losing a lot of money. But then what can you do??? Everybody is under the same circumstances. You cannot simply blame BB for that. You just have to accept that fact and deal with it. If it's only you who're in this circumstances, that's a different story, but know that everybody is in the same situation.

This game is all strategy. The more time you invest, the better the rewards.

Hmmm, not always. Often times your strategy can get smacked down by ......ahem......changes to the game. Damn glad I didnt train much rebounding with the new changes

The staff of BB are just regular dudes and are bound to make mistakes. If you notice one, alert them. Don't berate them. If we keep those clowns (I am looking at you juiced) happy, they will feel motivated to work harder and smarter. Throwing tomatoes does not make a comedian funnier.

No, but throwing tomatoes at an unfunny comedian makes you feel like at least you got some of your investment back.

My question is- isnt there a test server that they put changes on first to see if they work? How did the team rebounding and double double announcement get so screwed up? You guys arent just writing code and praying.......are you? Havent they been working on this in scrims all last season? If you test it and it works, it should work right? If you test it and it doesnt work, why do you add it in? (cocking back a tomato, waiting for answer)

I say get rid of free agents...They are a spawning ground for Farm Teams. People start a second team on a computer at a Internet cafe...they then in turn buy a decent player with good OD and still young. Then they put the training on OD 1 position and then stick that player in at PG on a default line up. After 6 or 7 weeks of training this team goes bot and the player hits the Free agent market where team A saves his money just for this day. He then gets a PG with Wondrous OD(up from prolific). The reason why I know this is...someone told me about a player and that this is what he did. I was going to report this team but how could I prove anything...I say just get rid of free agents and you will cut this type of cheating out and it will make training players profitable again......also stop some Day traders..
