Hm, maybe my english isn't adequate enough to make my point clear, sorry for that guys.

Obviously I know that every team has 11 home games in a season, but that is not and was never the point. A average german 2nd division team pays 400k on salaries. Off season + 1st week away game = 2 times paying full salaries without a home game, which is the main source of income in this game.

After taht you have a 3 games away trip during your first 8 season matches. It's just hard to handle, not too hard but that wasn't the point also.

If every team has to deal with it it's all fine, if only a few teames have to deal with it, it's unfair. That was all i was trying to say. :-)

If i would be just average on the season earnings list i posted, i still could have afforded my player that i have to sell. I#m not crying about that, i'm still doing pretty ok this season, but it's just not equal opportuinties in my eyes. I dont mind having some more home games at the end of the season, when i messed up the first half of the season due to this "bad luck" - because a messed up start means major disadvantages in this game, from which you suffer a long time. Thats just how BB works.

Bye guys

I see your point, but it doesn't mean we need a change.

It's all about management. This time it's about financial management, so as long as you reserved certain amount of money, it doesn't matter whether it's an away game or a home game.

No, you didn't see my point. ;-)

If the schedule forces every manager to show off their "management skills", as you call it, it's fine. As long as only a few manager have to deal with this problem, it's unfair.

Only half the teams each Season have to deal with the first week away game, so half of the managers don't need to make a plan, how they can absorb the losses of the first 2 financial updates. By the way, during the off season you don't even know if you start away. So some managers can reinforce their rotation by buyin new players, others can't.

Managing your Team and own problems is good, this is part of the game, but all managers should have to deal with the same challenges.

I would agree that schedule is a bit of a problem. This season I had 5 away games in a row counting the cup.
It wasn't much of a problem for me. Maybe the cup games but its over now. But thr problem is that its not realistic. There is no team in the world ( not including NBA) that had 5 away games in a row

Financially, whether a cup game is home or away is irrelevant. And certainly, if you're implying that you should have had a home cup game just because you had three consecutive away games in the league, I'd be against that, as I think would 99% of the people here.

"Road trip." Not uncommon.

Hmmm, that makes me think of something.

We have a number of season ticket holders, right? Why not calculate an amout of money that each team gets at the start of the season based on that season ticket holders? Well, it shouldn't be too much, of course but that can help compensate long away trips and this will make that feature a little relevant and more "realistic"

Just an idea...

Because people are stupid, they'll spend their season ticket money, not hold any back for later, go bankrupt, and whine about not getting enough money a week to get by.
