Making 100k a week ATM
But 40k under the salary floor
Training 3 19 year olds ATM and going well
All will be better then guys who costs 50k+ at start of this season for next.
Will be interesting how things develop.

I'm making 50k net with a 13-0 record and a decent sized arena.

Only complaint is I won't be able drafting any all time great 18 year old soon. Have you scouted any crazy prospects in yore league yet?

My draft prospects look good so far. Going to get someone more then good enough to rise here imo. And with no NT training is 100% long term projects.

Bleachers : 6430 (Current Price: $8) (Price as of 5/31/2014: $8)
Lower Tier : 550 (Current Price: $40) (Price as of 5/31/2014: $40)
Courtside Seats : 98 (Current Price: $150) (Price as of 5/31/2014: $122)
Luxury Boxes : 5 (Current Price: $800) (Price as of 5/31/2014: $841)


I also found a 4/5 B+
a 3/5 B-
and a 5/?

I am a 2+3 hybrid, although one could argue, that my (5+1) trainees are not "big time" because of limited potential. But i think they are all very good (57-61 Skill10).

Still i got decent win ratio (10:4) and i will make about 105k this week. Arena will be 6318 / 555 / 138 / 13 after the current expansion.

I most likely won't promote this season, but my trainees develop very nicely, and i'm gonna start with a great arena next season.

I thought about training 5-6 guys in two position training. Eventually sell half of them for a ton and then switch the remaining 3 to single position training. It has a lot of appeal.

nice idea

I just reached $1,000,000 in arena builds for the season. Is anyone else close to that? Most seemed to of spent about half that amount. Hope my plan works long term........

i also spent $ 1,090,000 until now.

Mine is not so far...

Bleachers : 5100
Lower Tier : 800
Courtside Seats : 200
Luxury Boxes : 10

and 40 more LT in 3 days

I spent $ 853 000.

I'm struggling with idea to invest all cash into arena.

Return Of Investment (ROI) is extremely long.
- With maximum ticket prices and full arena it is only 10 weeks (home games) in all seat categories. Of course after 10 weeks you will make nice profit every week.
- But if your ticket price is half of the maximum price, it will take 20 weeks (home games), and again your arena should be sold out
- And in some cases I have seen that ticket price is less than third from maximum, then ROI is over 30 weeks

Only seats I think can be sold out with maximum ticket prices are VIP (of course, there is no seats by default) and courtside original 50 seats. So investments on those seats I see very reasonable.

So my thinking is just opposite, first I should get sold out arena with maximum ticket prices, then I will extend my arena. Of course I will loose some money every week, but I can invest on better trainer, better trainees, draft, players etc. more. I do not know if my investments will have any better ROI, we will see.

And no any offense, this was just my two cents and thinking aloud

And then facts: 72485 from last game, upper and lower tier sold out (I will raise prices), record 7-8, only two wins in May because I sold out all vets very early. Salaries 34k.

As long as you're winning games, the ROI will be quicker. So a staggered approach between expanding the arena and improving the team seems good.

Speaking of ROI, it's hard to tell about the draft. We don't even know if Utopia will have a National Team, and it'll take forever to get a Utopia-player-only team good enough to where merch bonuses matter. Then again, if we do have a Utopia NT, their will be a very small pool of players to choose from, increasing the likelihood for drafted players to make it.
