I actually like the simplicity of finances. This is a basketball game , not an economic/money game. There is already so much to worry about when you manage a team. I like how the finances are simple and straight forward.

With more experience on this game you will see that the economy on this game is simple(there aren't many things) but are quite difficult to manage it, and the succesfull teams usually planned a long strategy term or they are good at trading or training their players.

Just some information from your team;

Sold: $ 1 306 451
Bought: $ 1 749 626
$ -443 175

You dind't buy 4-5 rookies to train and you wasted most of your incomes just trading players(and lost for the moment 443k). That's a bad economic decision, you should invest all your incomes when you start in having a bigger arena&buying young players to train(with a good coach).
Also your arena prices (one of this few things that you can change) are really high, you are losing money because your prices are high, make them chepaer and you will have bigger attendance and bigger incomes.


Not to criticize you, but your team for the moment is far from being optimized, you aren't making all the money you could.

So, with the few economic things we have on this game, you aren't doing really good, why you want more?

Last but not least, sometimes the economy is the most important thing on this game, but this it's a basketball game.

I agree.

We don't need any BB Casinos, BB Banks, BB Hotels, BB World Tours or BB Space Programs in this game.

Lets keep it simple and stick to basketball

Just want to say, that my biggest mistake was made in my few first days of playing, when i bought this: (18764671) for 130 000, and then sell for 3600, also some expensive players that i am keeping till now to be my leaders. And you can`t say that i haven`t some young players: (20375592), (20020667), maybe (12565779), i do also have quite good trainer (6lvl, a little bit expensive for V league)
About arena - it is quite small so far, so if make it full with low prices i won`t get a lot of money. When i will increase it`s size i`ll take a shot on changing prices. So there isn`t many things to do in BB, I want something more

That is a problem of your making. A level 6 trainer for a D5 team is not a "bit" expensive but very expensive! It is unsustainable. You will train your players but you can't keep them the season after because they would demand high salaries.

Best advice to you: Drop your trainer down to 4. You will have a lot more money which will help your team improve a lot quicker than what it is right now.

You will train your players but you can't keep them the season after because they would demand high salaries.

the difference isn't that big to a level 6 guy, normally he should train and pay the player easily after three seasons(pure C are maybe the exception), but probadly the coach not ;)

The point remains that a D5 team don't need a level 6 trainer. Heck they don't even need a level 5!

but your argument wasn't right ;)

I agree with you, i would also agree if you say that a level 6 trainer is only for someone who likes to create an nt player independent from the league, because the extra training is pretty small for the extra cost(but we make our own prices)

it really depends on what sort of training you are doing. Even if you are training guards, if you are doing 1 pos training, your player's skills will pop so quick that salaries will become unmanagemeble after a season or 2 for a division 5 team.

what for a salary did you think, is not payable anymore for div5? I know just div IV and there you could still pay your 40-50k for your star, and and least at the moment there is just one 21 old guard above that on the market, and those 60k are still possible even when you maybe have to sacrifce to much at the other pos for it.

But as i said the difference is small, if you train one position with a level trainer it is maybe 5k cheaper, if it was so big then you have to sell cheaper but maybe get your investment back, but i don't see that at the moment.

I've never been in D5 before as the lowest in Aust is D4 but I am going to speculate that the 50k star you can keep in D4 will prob be a 30-40k star in D5. Also, a lvl 6 trainer on average will probably eat into another 70-80k per week which would significantly hinder his ability to keep his players once salary updates
