Try getting relegated.

I got booted from DIII last season, now I'm 18-1 with a 500+ point difference and I still am only at 75-80% full. Not cool. Especially since when you get relegated you bring a much higher salary to a league that can't support the high salary.

I like how challenging the game is, but I'm basically losing money every week even though I'm doing quite well. The fans do take recent games into account, but the weight on the prior season is too heavy IMO.

Haha. I think I was misunderstood... Certainly not saying he should get relegated. Just saying.. it sucks. Try it sometime!

He was being ironic. Like saying "If you think your case is too bad, try mine"

I have a 12-7 team in an incredibly tough division. My fans are at 2.5 basketball and my last home game VS a playoff team drew 67% of my arena....My prices are low btw.....Could you people at BB lighten up on this because it is totally unrealistic. Any team with a good record palying a playoff bound team this late in the season should be drawing fat crowds. There are a few glitches in this game I have noticed in the year I have been palying but the fans is by far the worst.


Lower the price of the bleachers some more, not too much. Also, your courtside seats are always full so consider increasing the prices there a bit.

Don't get relegated like someone said. Make a plan for next season or 2. I suggest you train young players and focus on promoting next season. For example, train outside players (with focus on Peachey, Marion, Pritchard, Caugas). They are all young enough to train and short enough. Also they have some potential. I see your best player is 32 so he won't last much longer. Concentrate on outside training and collect money so you can buy replacement for the veteran.

Hopefully you'll dominate the league next season with this approach. I think it's the way to go but also listen other managers what they have to say.

I have a 18-1 record, number one in my league and don't sell out. I didn't have a great Cup and sold and bought a good amount of players, So I second the poster that said that the fans in BB are tough. Really tough.

I think you've been tough on them also...they want to fill the arena, but can't because of your ticket prices

Compare your arena with Sportivo Travesti; he has a bit bigger arena than yours, lower prices and in the average makes the same amount as you (168-170k/game). So with 13-6 record he has the same arena revenue as you with 18-1 record. So who is tough now?

Thanks for the advise! Which seats should you lower first?

All those who aren't full But something else is important: are you going to promote? If you are, there's no sense in lowering ticket prices because next season you will have a full arena no matter what. If you are going to promote, I'd leave the ticket prices like this for now; it's playoff time and you will have full arena again.

Thanks for the tip. I hope that this time I promote, I had three consecutive finals!!!!

Off topic: How do you see my team? Is there anything you see that I might be doing wrong?

Right now, I'm playing inside tactics and I'm preparing an outside attack for the PO? Sholud that be a good idea, for example, against Quimica? Thanks in advance!!!
