If my assumption about more spectators in Playoff is incorrect I really think that it is time to change this behaviour so that people are more willing to pay the price for seeing an exciting playoff match.

This would be the one thing I agree with you on. However, if people would be allowed to double their ticket prices and still get as many people, there would be too large of a money gap between the top seeds and the people not in the playoffs (making it too tough for teams not in the playoffs to improve to contending fashion).

First I agreed with Jokehim, but after your post I changed my mind. Good slam dunk by Jokehim, but a nice 3 pt jumpshot from the left wing by Somebody Important. 2-3 by after 1st quarter.

I am well aware of the mechanism. At the same time it should be rewarding to reach playoffs and it must not be same entrance for 20% higher ticket prices. That would be possible to solve in a different way than that. But right now you have to guess how far you go in Playoffs. Next month it will even be about 1-2 matches in playoff and then regular season. Why force people to pay too high ticket prices in a boring season opener?

I agree with your suggestion.

Actually I don't understand why it is not possible to change the ticket prices every week, but at least it should be possible before the playoffs and at the beginning of the season. For example, if you get relegated at the beginning of the month (it won't be the case this season) you'll have 2-3 weeks with an almost empty arena.

And if the attendance in the playoff is too high it could be retuned.

for every i understand, because you would normally switch then very often depending on succes, and player with home games after the "change" will have a huge advantge.

Extra change for the PO was good, and hopefully also for the new visitor system next season so that we have a chanche to get a feeling for the prices and don't have to test three months, before we could build our arenas back.

changing prices each week would bring down the "manager is doing everything to improve the team" or some other fan survey stat down to 0.5
I'd be pretty pissed if the team I cheered for and went to see play raised the prices after every win and dropped them after every loss... fans would always worry about what the price will be, and the season ticket holders would also be more pissed than they would if the price changed maybe once a month...
manager games are strategy games, where risks exist and the difference between a successful team and a failure is in the long term planing and assessing risks. It just can't be made too easy or it wouldn't be any fun at all...

@everyone :
most of the complains and suggestions I read concerning the game all come down to one simple idea : make it easier
this is a game. in first person shooters you die if you make a mistake, in adventure games you're stuck, and in RPG games you die/have difficulty in progressing. In manager/strategy games you go bankrupt.
This is a game, and it has to have some slight randomness to it, it has to have it's risks. If not everyone would be a contender to win B3...
There's no quicksave and quickload here
