You only have 1 "decent" player under the age of 29... I'd love to see you promote into D.III and relegate instantly with a 0-22 record. i.e. "You promoted the wrong way."

No hating, just advising the "smart route" to promoting. Everyone that promotes the oldie vet way usually crashes and burns in D.IV and quits, never makes it out of D.IV and quits, or in the rarest of occasions they promote into D.III while still crashing and burning and inevitably quitting.

So it's in his best interest to change that now or at least ween into buying people to train and keeping his vets on his roster to a minimum.

your gonna have to get pass me in the NBBA FInals first ;) either that or you'll be seeing me promoting to NBBA

season 35 is my target for nbba. anyways. playoff CT cause thats what you mean. they (The bb gods) don't want the deserved person to win it all get CTed and loses. so they took out the CT and had playoffs crunch time, which acts like a normal. and then there's playoff normal, which acts like a take it easy. you see?

The reason that buying vets works is because it allows you to compete while spending a fraction of the cost. This allows you to spend heavy on the stadium while still having high attendance and prices. It is not very expensive to buy vets that allow you to compete in D5 especially and the extra attendance from winning/promoting will make up for it.

I have only been playing two seasons and have already spent 1.5 mil on my arena, and I'm filling it up. This type of revenue would be impossible without using vets.

Don't listen to the haterz, you've done a great job so far.

Sorry, but far from the truth. Also why are people who simpy don't agree with something identified as "haters"?

He didn't train at all, which is a waste of money. He is totally unprepared for D.IV, especially the Arena. When you promote, you get a lot of attendance even if you are losing. He could make a lot of money if he gets to D.IV now, but he won't because his didn't expand his arena.

I always promote the idea that even if you can promote, you don't if you are not prepared with Arena, players etc. I'm mentoring a Slovenian team ((114521))which was patient and stuck to D.IV for one more season than it should. This season it promoted to D.III and you know what? It will promote straight away to D.II because the manager had a big enough arena to make money, could buy better players and sell some trainees he didn't need anymore for good money.

Not using training slots if the biggest waste of money, as you can buy P.Alstars for 1k and sell them for 300k+ after three seasons of training, or you can keep them to help you promote even further.

Despite the warnings, and without really even realizing it, I have fallen into the same trap of getting seduced by the lure of skilled cheap older players. What's done is done, but I justified these expenditures by thinking that even though I have a very small Arena, if I won my league (not likely, but I didn't realize it at the time of purchasing these players) then I could charge really high ticket prices for at least the first half of the season--maybe even the max???

Can some of you BB veterans tell me (a) what is wrong with the strategy of compensating for a smaller Arena with higher ticket prices (will the attendance bump not occur if the prices are too high, for example), and (b) what would be an appropriate price level for a D5 team like Jungle Fever that promotes to D4 with a small Arena, given that investments, foolish or not, have already been made into the veteran players?

Thanks!
