The worst thing in BB is having a home game to start the season, right after the promotion bonuses have been paid and other teams with home games have money to spend. It's not fair I then have to spend more to buy a player. Give me a home game later in the season when there's less money and the money I have goes further. Unfair! Unfair!

Not the same thing. You still have income those weeks, Cup money, BBM money.
We are talking about the first week of the season not the 3rd or the 5th. The first!!! No salaries the first week.

Forgive me for trying to put a little humour into the forum.

I have two teams both starting the season away. Both finish with two home games. I realise you're emphasising the financial aspect of the scheduling, and I take your point. However, I'm happy with my schedule, I want to finish with home games, not start with them.

Most certainly I don't want the season to start on a Tuesday, and really don't see how it could.

Those are not guaranteed. I have to win those games to get that money. 11 home games per season is guaranteed income. And you also have income in the first week (tv contract + merchandise).

You play a league game, you pay salaries.

Difficult to do, because I think you pay the salaries in advance. So you'd have to set your lineups for the upcoming week before Monday's update.
Still an interesting thought. You could open a thread in the suggestions forums and see what people think, although I don't think it's possible/necessary. Or you could lose your temper and call me a punk ;)

Or change the day of the update. If we pay salaries Thursday or Friday everybody will have one game at home the first week. But maybe this solution will cause other problems later in the season.

Hello all,

I would like some advice, as I’m experiencing several problems

1. Huge salary increase. I like to build my team via draft and training. I was training c/pf. My 3 best players salaries just shot up to 100k, 88k and 60k. The guy who is 88k is a homegrown 22 year old with tsp of 83. My friend who I play with has got a 23 year old homegrown point guard with tsp of 107 and his salary stayed low at 38k. It’s probably my fault for not knowing how salaries work, but could someone explain it to me

2. Huge drop in fans. Last season i had 7k-9k of fans attending home games. First game of this season it was only. 4k, which with salaries from point one means bankruptcy within 3 weeks. I looked at other teams who were just relegated from tier 2 and none of them seemed to have as big of a drop. Was it because I played against a bot in my first game of the season? I will lower my ticket prices for the next game to see if there is an improvement.

3. The players I’m forced to sell, all say that ‘very few players like this have been sold recently’. Could someone tell me how much would you ask for a 22 year old centre with. IS 15, ID 17, R 14, SB 14 with MVP potential

To be honest I’m getting close to giving up. Having to sell my best players after I spent so much time training them is quite sad. The game loses all enjoyment when you suddenly go from making profit to -170k a week

Hi.
Buzzermanager has an inaccurate salary calculator.

Lower your ticket prices. You relegated. Folks aint happy with the Penguins.

I found a few 22-23 year olds with $100k+ salaries selling for anywhere from $720k-$2.2m.
