I think BB's should let you keep those courtside seats. Just say: Courtside seats have "silent cap" on 500 -> and arena "caps" at 20000. If you have 5000 Courtside seats you get 500 filled and rest of the 4500 will just count for the cap. So with 5000 courtside seats you get attendance "capped" at 15500. If you have 100 luxury boxes aswell it will cap at 15450. So building proportionally unlogical arenas would cost you more.
no, they should implement caps when they chage it and not now. And this would punishment player totally who play after the system they want, so when they have no necessarity, and this changes just hurts plans why not keep the old system - and maybe call lower tie and courtside category two and three, like they called in most ticketing systems.
That's why we have Courtside and Lower tier. Depending on arena size courtside could be more than 3 rows. But that is beside the point. The point is you can not add up courtside seats and lower tier seats and call them just courtside -> you have to agree that this would be absurd. I think you are missing the fact that we have 4 types of seats in the arena.
Absurd is that you could resize your arena, without building a new one(but also it makes it funny to play). This what you emntioned, is reality not absurb. You miss the things, that those types just differ from the position, and building close to the ground is normally cheaper then the seats away from the basket, here it is the oppsoite way.
First i though they are quality differences, but no it is just position which they stated in this change.
Everyone who start to build now are fine. Older teams can't build 1298372 size arenas and can not build unlogical arenas with 10000 courtside seats and 5000 bleachers.
yes, and that is bad because this is probadly more like the arena should look in this new system. So why new team could have optimum arena and old teams not?
I think the most intelligent way was to call alls eats seats, so that you can not build any unlogical distribution anymore(even small arenas have very unlikely contributions) . and with the actual system you can not build a individaual arena anymore so there is no necessarity more for the differentation besides of punish teams who can not react to the system, and allow just small arena sto be unrealisitc and makes realism important first they become big.
