I agree announcing prices before the season starts for each game would not work well for BB so yes we should be able to change prices the day before if we choose. And anyway we do not know how far we will get in the Cup.

What you think as a fan concerns me not. I know clubs IRL have different prices for different matches, and what the clubs do IRL matters to me more than your opinion. Besides the fans in this game are just lines of code, not real people.

No it doesn't truly bother me. I think having my house bombed would truly bother me. But all the same, it is disgraceful that we cannot charge what we want, when we want. We are supposed to be simulating franchise owners.

ALSO JUDGING BY SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS I HAVE SEEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO TELL ME TO MAKE IT WELL THOUGHT OUT.

I wasn't discussing feasibility of anything. I am giving my opinion on being able to change prices.

But since I have apparently broken a rule, I await the impending fine with eagerness.

So you would not be mad whatsoever if you bought tickets early for $200 and find out the day before the game that people are getting those same tickets for $100? I agree with you that clubs IRL have different prices for different games but they do not change them last minute doing so would be a logistical nightmare excluding the negative fan reaction.

Besides the fans in this game are just lines of code, not real people.

You are contradicting yourself. If you want to realistically simulate being an owner you have to realistically simulate fans reactions. Fans would not be happy w/ sudden price increases or decreases thus your attendance would be lower.

If you want to be a good franchise owner you have to be able to make tough long term choices. Having to set ticket prices for long segments of time forces you to make those decisions instead of just reacting up and down to your fan survey. If everyone could swing their prices up and down everyone would have filled arena's every game and there would be no reward to those managers who make the correct choices.

In addition to this have you contemplated the effects that this would have on the Buzzerbeater economy? This would allow managers to greatly increase their revenue during a time when the BB's are working hard to take money out of the market not increase it, but thats a completely different conversation.

If you want you can make a hasty unthoughtful suggestion. I guarantee you with out properly stating the problem, a feasible plan to fix it that would not cause more problems, and stating reasons why this change should be made, it will never happen.

In real life, ticket prices are different for different games.

In real life:

1. Training doesn't occur only on Fridays.
2. Salaries don't necessarily change after each season.
3. There's no transfer market.
4. You can see actual players, not x's and o's.
5. Players get injured for a whole season, die, go into prison, etc.

This

is

not

real

life.

You forgot

6. Everyone has the same birthday!

In seriousness, does anyone know why is that we are not allowed to change price for the playoff?

Note: if this was already discussed somewhere else, please help me with a link. Thanks.

I believe what it comes down to is we know everyone would jack up prices for the playoffs, it only makes sense. This way you have to make a more tactical decision on how you want to set your prices as its for the end of the season plus whatever playoff run you have.

But

it

is

a

simulation.

What is the concern about teams increasing price for the playoff? I see it as a reward for those making the playoff.

I don't know why you asked that first question. Everyone pays the same prices for tickets in this game.

Fan reaction - you assume fans are so stupid that they don't understand there are different categories of games. Fortunately most fans understand this IRL so they go on supporting their clubs.

If everyone could swing their prices up or down and had filled arenas everyone would be making good choices so deserve to be rewarded.

The BB economy is for the BBs to figure out. If they knew people were filling their arenas and this was having an adverse effect they would react (we hope) appropriately.

I don't want to make any suggestion. This is a forum for giving opinions (I thought) so I am doing that.

All your arguments are rubbish.

If you told me instead we have a potential of 3 games a week and we cannot expect all users to faithfully log in after every game to adjust prices for the next I would understand that. But I still would not accept that we cannot raise prices for playoffs. Disgraceful.
