Yes yes, this is the kind of talent that in some people's mind should make a 0-7 team into a 1-6 team: (278359.175). Of course if you have no wins in 1 third of a season and more than the price of that player sitting in your bank, you will lose a minimum of 140% of gate receipts to a maximum of 275% (in D1 terms that's anywhere between $700k and $1.5 million lost gate receipts). If you lose all games in a season you will lose 520% to 615% before the effect goes away ($2.8 to $3.3 million)

Happy new year to you too. And Hameenlinna. And Vantaa. (have many friends living in both cities...). Cheers.

Just to add another dimension:

The fan survey become pretty absurd, when the boycott kicks in. I almost "qualified" for the penalty and my fan survey shows five balls in the "manager tries everything to make the team better" (or what it is called) categroy.

That does not make sense at all - so some kind of connection between fan survey and boycott would be better. Also some kind of "boycott-o-meter" would make sense, so we could see, how bad the team is in shape.

I'm currently tanking in Utopia and France. I do prefer training my draftees and do it on purpose. It's a choice, as last season after spending a lot of my draft points i did not get any good player from the draft.

After loosing brightly all games in the first third of the season now my income from a game match has gone down from $164k to $74k for a weekly benefits of $681 with 1488 subscribers. Next week i will not be able to pay the max scouting and the lvl5 staff salaries i currently pay, and will forget the lvl6 or lvl7 i intended to buy.

My BB subscription is renewed tomorrow, i payed last week, and will glady discuss for a refund of my money as i did not intended to be screwed by new rules or people telling me how to enjoy the game.

Power to the people! I am almost in the same position, although I managed to dodge the penalty for the first third of the season and will not have to renew my supporter until April.

I understand that teams that are tanking will be more or less upset about this measure, but in terms of numbers, your income will be affected by about 600k-700k in the next 10 weeks. I supposse you have more than 10M and you have the possibility to make those numbers better in the following weeks, so I don't think this difference is something to make you change your mind about your plans for your team

No, you are not in my place, and we do not have the same values in terms of red or black lines in an economic status in a simulation game. I've read this thread from top to bottom and do not expect any understanding from your part.

What about me being refunded of my real money for a subscription that starts tomorrow ?

I contacted Paypal and started a complaint about your product being not what I expected for a refund.

Because i'm dumb i suppose, because i do not pay to play, but pay to Tip, in the british "To Improve Proficiency" spirit. And I've realized by reading this thread in the last few days that you've lost your customer care and embarked in a very curious way of showing how you listen to customers.

For the point of playing the draft, may I say that i will be punished by demotion, by loss of subscribers and by a demotion hit on my income, on top of that somebody has invented a new penalty to be hitten even more before even started to be demoted. Yes i probably was either dumb to pay again or maybe I appreciate too much the french community and this game. But then again I was probably just dumb...
