I think the player should touch a salary prorata of the time he stayed on your roster. Kind like the staff

This way, its more like a 10 day contract in the NBA, not guaranteed...so its actually realistic the way it is.

there is a very big difference in day trading and skill trading.

No disrespect to anyone but you simply can not compare teams like that.

For one, you are Japanese team and when you started you were already in Division 2. For Australian teams, they start in Division 4 (US starts in D5). You are at a huge advantage if you want to compare it that way because starting in Division 2 entitles you to a lot higher income in the form of merchandising, tv revenue and larger fan base for your home games. With this extra money, you can buy better players a lot quicker.

unless you find another Japanese team to compare it with (or one where the user base starts in D2), you simply can not compare how good your managerial skills are with other teams from other countries that had a lot tougher route to get into D2.

If you don't mind, can you post your economy figures for the week. I want to see if it backs up your claim of larger countrys having an advantage.

pfft... day traders

lets face it people... if you have the time, patience or dont have a life to live then you would do it too...

I WOULD!

and seriously Japanese dude. playin in lower division doesnt earn you more money since you started off in a high division with people coming to arena all the time. so playin in a lower division will result in lower attendence even your arena is massive thus reduce income. not to mention TV deals or merchandising... especially TV deals. you get so much money just by being in a higher division.

I've not day traded (at least I don't think I have)

wouldn't mind a scrimmage : )

That promotion money you speak of is chump change compared to the money that can made in a higher division.

Different countries have different strategies. in Nippon you preach that you should upgrade your arena asap since there is no point in promoting to div1 so quickly cos of the arena seat shortages. In Australia it will probably be more wise to increase your ticket prices and save that money to buy veterans to help u to promote to a higher league.

I see what you are saying but I have to disagree.

Playing in D2 even against bots as you claim and bad managers still pull in more revenue than D4. Now for examples sake, I was pulling in 250k net a week easily when I got promoted into D2. Assuming a conservative side accounting for more bot teams, lets say 200k a week. (although technically the difference should not matter as much as income takings is more aligned to your position on the table and the opponent you are playing rather than the fact a team is bot)

This is still significantly more than D4. In D4, a good manager will be able to pull in 70k net a week or so. You just can't compare the divisions. Negating the effects of training, and day trading, etc, over the course of a 14 week season a D2 team would be able to pull in 200,000 x 14 = 2.8 mill while a D4 team would pull in 70,000 X 14 = 980k.

As a D2 team, you are still almost 2 mill better off and looking at your roster and how low your salaries are, I would guess that you can easily pull over 200k a week. In fact from your arena, just your last home game you made 200k. Good luck trying to make that in a home game in D4.


The chunk of change you get for promotion is minimal. Thats like an extra week of income. Hardly makes up for the 2 mill difference in income you get over a course of a season.

I don't think there is a point trying to compare manager skill levels. We all play the game differently and have had different paths in reaching their current state. But you are right. Lets get off this discussion and go back to the original topic :)
