I think something has to be made to correct the economic part of BB.

I think you need to spend within your means.

This is not healthy for a D.IV team:

Total Sales: $7000
Total Purchases: $429700
Transfer Balance: $-422700

In economy you have to distinguish two things, on one hand the investments, which in that case are the purchases and the running cost (which are the stable revenues minus the salaries).

This is the only way to distinguish what is reasonable.
48k salary is in my opinion really reasonable. I bought this player because I had the money due to the fact that I had really few players at the beginning of the season. I still only have 13 players, which is not much and reasonable for a D.IV teams despite the injuries.

I think my spendings are totally reasonable (I bought only 3 players). The problems comes from the unannounced salary increase in the middle of the season. It penalizaes the teams that trained well their players. My second best player is an 18 year old center that I have and train since the beginning. And since I started his salary increaed of 20%, this is what is nor reasonable.

The way the economy is managed today is really a big pain for the small teams like main. I know that it is done on purpose to help the big teams to progress quicker but by doing that you are favorizing the fact that many players are leaving the game because they don't see any interest in the game.

If your finances are in poor shape, then maybe they aren't.

Teams need to adjust to the economic conditions in the game. The game doesn't always need to adjust to the teams.

my finances are not in poor shape. I should be positive of about 100k after my tv game next week
I'm just saying that after being 1st of my division and undefeated for 16 games i reallly consider that the amounts i receive from sponsors (7k last week) are ridiculous. It is not healthy for the game to be negative every weeks ans wait for the tv games. I would for example thought about making the tv games less profitable and making the sponsors more profitable. This seems more fair to me that the actual system.

I don't think either, but I do think that BB as to make something to preventig so many players from quitting the game.

In the real life the players of D.IV are not paid...

I'm not going to argue on how the players are payed in the english D.IV, I trust you on that point even if its not that simple.

I'm ok on the point that D.IV is low. My goal is to go to D.III but in the actual conditions my team is absolutely not ready for D.III and doesn't have the economical possibility to be ready. This subject has already been discussed several times but I think the champion of a division who is pronoted should receive some money to help him being competitive the next season.
The other point is that being promote is really hard because there is only 1 team ou of 16 that is going to be promote, and every year you have to wait to be promote the gap is increasing between your team and the one in D.III....unlike in the real world.

They do, in the form of increased Arena and merchandise revenues.

I agree with both of your commentaries about the increasing marchandising and number of supporters but this takes time before you economy really feel the difference because it's only week after week that it will pay (if you had enough money in the past to increase the size of your arena...). That's why a bonus for the champion team looked like a good idea to me...but the rules are the rules and we will have to deal with them...
