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.
You had been warned. I did tell you. Once again. Remember this each time something like this comes out: the good guys did their part in explaining this before it happened.

Regarding all the punishments that you list they are all things you should know about and an active choice.
Well I'd argue choices have been removed, Manon. It's like saying you can still daytrade: theoretically you still can as they didn't ban it outright, but practically you can't, because from an economic standpoint it's a dumb move.

Same thing with this change. And after 3 weeks we're still waiting to hear the reasons why the solution Foto supported and voted for, despite Perpete voting against it, is superior to other solutions proposed in the past and how it addresses some concerns the good guys, who really care about this game, have raised (leagues with bots being the elephant in the room...seriously) .

My gate receipts went down 57% comparing to the previous match.
Previous gate was also the average receipt of the first three matches.
I'm in the last funds category(over 10mil) and thought that the reduction would be up to 50%.

I want my 14k back.

This change has been, like many other changes in the past, communicated way too late, way too poor and in a misleading fashion too.


This has been admitted by Perpete.

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


Estimate of 600-700k during this season might be valid for II-division. In I division the amount is much higher (1.6M) !!!
And then I found out also that some managers (like me) got only 3 home games before boycott. Some lucky ones got 4 home games! Unfair and bad planning of the solution!!!
So there is 7-8 home games left when this new boycott rule will impact. If you have 8 home games and more than 10M cash reserve, you will lose 3,4 home game incomes.

Change where you will lose 30,1% of your full season ticket income is informed after season has started!!!!!
I only ask WHY this was not informed earlier???

I was supporter over a decade, not anymore. That is just my own personal boycott.

Now, usually, I try not to complain about BB and its changes...however...

REGARDING MY 2ND TEAM:

My gate receipts just dropped 30%

FACTS:

1. I did not get a win in the first 7 games (training rookies)
2. I have less than 300k in the bank! That's right...a measly 300k
3. Up until the eighth game I was averaging 10k fans...then in the 8th game 7k
4. My opponent in the 8th game was 2nd in other side with a 7-1 record

Now...

1. I understand by not winning any of opening 7 games will warrant a penalty
2. I understand that my promotion bonus (and fan bonus) may be factors here

BUT...I have no funds.

I don't quite feel a drop of 30% attendance is fair given this season's changes.

I would love a second opinion please?

Thanks

If you think something is wrong and you can't see a reason behind it you should go and post in the bugs forum so that Marin can look into it. By posting there you will get an answer guaranteed. By only posting here you shouldn't expect to much.


Yeah, fair call. I will do that.

@ Joe...don't know if I would call it scandalous. Certainly begs the question 'How?'

So what are you doing about this? Nothing. Instead you should have either postponed the change or have asked the userbase how this "feature" is liked.

I apologize in advance for my harsh words, but frustration is clearly winning the upper hand again.

Introducing ill-advised and bad/late communicated changes happened so often in the past and will happen in the future and just leaves the impression that the people in charge are either to dumb to learn, or to arrogant to listen to their customers/donors/contributors or whatever you like to call us.

Leave us alone with "has been admitted", just do your job right. Or find someone else who can do it.
