There were distinct positives where the old TV games formula is concerned.

TV money were guaranteed regardless of performance, which in fact provided stability to income within the same division. You are now shifting all income to attendance, which will open a can of worms trying to make sure that teams that lose several games in a row are not too hurt financially.

Moreover, with a relatively large lump sum transfer early in the season, team were able to invest in arena or players immediately, not wait for profits to build up. Of course, this consideration will soften as the wage structure fills up, but I thought the fact that it still hasn't made the lump transfer even more of a benefit.

To the whiners:
a) stop complaining or stop playing :-P
b) adapt, adapt, adapt

(BTW, having a cushion is good management, not pure luck)

To the BBs: do you guys talk to the HTs about the economy and how to drive economic policies? HT is a more mature and has gone through periods of inflation and deflation... Just a thought :-)

All in all, thanks for making improvements to the game. Or, as some would say, for trying to improve the game :-D

Actually, having a cushion is likely bad management, since you're not utilizing your resources to the maximum. Well, of course, if you expect a 25% cut in revenue in the end of any given season, it might be the right thing to do.

Having a cushion on runaway inflation is bad management.

Hey Charles,

Teams who will take the championship this upcoming playoff and will be promoted to a higher league will also enjoy the money reward or is it only relevent for the next season?

I think it will be wrong to not reward those teams, couse if so, they will "suffer" the new laws in the higher leagues "40%" 25%" but wont get the pluses of the new economic system (rewards)

That's exactly my point: maximum utilization is not optimal (read "The Goal"). Call those provisions if you will. I would actually advocate have any team keep at least 3 weeks of average revenue in cash.

But hey, that's just me not having to find cash somewhere (sell players?) because I'm borderline broke since I utilized my resources to the maximum :-)

Fast, but not completely correct (see my answer to his argument).

Now about your comment: yes, inflation decreases the value of my cushion. But by how much? And how much flexibility do I gain with respect to sepnding every dime I own?

I'm OK with the value of my cushion decreasing by even 10% every season if it allows me to be more flexible in my choices and my reactions.

I have a feeling that some of our friends who are complaining about the changes are those who maximize their resource utilization :-)

We are also making changes to the Cup and B3. For both competitions, instead of earning gate receipts depending upon the home team attendance, teams will get a fixed amount of money in each round. A table listing the payouts for each round will be placed in the rules before next season.

Let me get it straight... if I am unlucky enough to play a division I team in the first round I won't even have the advantage of a higher arena income?

Honestly I was hoping for a *even* better attendance system, where a division IV team playing home against a DI would see its arena sold out, no matter what, and an DI team playing home against a D-IV team would have half seats empty, no matter what.
