To the BBs: do you guys talk to the HTs about the economy and how to drive economic policies?

God I hope not.

The problem is that you're targetting the 'average DI team, which is not necessarily a good measure. If you saw the problem as coming from excessive arena income, you should have indeed targetted large arenas only through something like arena upkeep.

Yes, this problem might be offset by the improved attendance formula, but a young DI team who actually needs to expand his arena to feel these benefits will struggle mightily for no good reason.

i appreciate you guys participating and even admitting your shortcomings while also face up doing something about it.

all i can say is, this is a trial and error approach, as this game is new same as we go with our lives we experience growing up pains :D

Thanks, great answer ;)

Could you pls let me know how do you think to solve the huge differences there are between the countries? If I plays in the Nigeria championship probably I will have 100k profit month (just for example) and I can save a lot of money winning matches. I'm in second division probably I will not play in first division next season and already I don't lose money but also I don't make it. If I can win a championship with 50k/salary for all the team, I'll be always more rich than the others and today the users of BB aren't so much so at the end we will see that the richest teams will be the teams where there isn't a strong competition. This is only a question but this is a thing that you will have to face in the near future, don't you think?

the conundrum for Nigerian teams (or others from smaller nations) is to encourage them to want to develop teams that are able to compete in the BB3... realistically i could slash my salaries by 40% and remain competitive but then why would should I not have a fair crack of taking my team as far as possible in another competition just because im from smaller BB nation.

as long as we are not penalised attendence wise then the choice will at least be there...

the more you think it through the more difficult it is to find a perfect scenario for everyone - but if we can come through these kind of big changes then anything new (that has been discussed in advance) should be a breeze!

its just nice to know the channels of communication are open and that all comments are being considered...

the economic situation was pretty clear months ago, it's not like the surplus of money came into existence out of nowhere last night.

I think this is an incorrect assumption from what I understand. Would BB-Charles maybe clarify?

ROTFLMAO.

Maybe just even to learn from their mistakes? :-)

i think the point is with salaries as they were and some teams grossing $500k a home match with $400k for TV and 2 decent cup runs with some home draws, it doesnt take rocket scientists to figure out how much spare cash is flying around the game.... if managers were working it out and then planning for inflation (which most of us were - and in some cases making huge transfer commitments through calculations that player values were still going to keep rising) this is like having the carpet pulled from underneath.

regardless - whats done is done - the lesson i have learnt is to just keep to a balance squad and keep some cash... ive stuck my neck out a couple of times to try stay ahead of the curve and its either going to go your way or it isnt....

looking back ive only lost some value on 2 or 3 recent large purchases however this is offset by the money received from my last big sales...

anyone who had saved and splashed out is in a far worse position - anyone who saved and hasnt splashed out (or better still finished 5th and sold off their entire roster before the playoffs) is likely to fair better!!
