Maybe they're right because the team i won was yours?

Yeah, with 4.5M in the cash box ;)
But I can understand your happiness..

Anyway, I'm really happy that we return to the old GE.. good decision by the BBs.

I agree with you that a long term strategy is a reasonable thing for a game to have, but the situation we saw developing wasnt just that we didnt want people to have to plan ahead, rather it was that in the long term, when everyone in d1 gets a huge arena and are the only ones with enough fans to support it then it would be impossible for any promoting team to compete and they would be sent down immediately. We want a gap in divisions, but not an insurmountable gap, and the old system was headed toward and insurmountable gap and had to be changed... in addition we have he ongoing economic balance to keep in mind and this was a way to kill two problems with one change.

that being said, its not like arena size isnt important anymore... we believe building arenas will still be important, just that at some point its usefullness runs out. So for a team working its way up through the leagues, trading off winning now, versus building for the future is still a dynamic we believe is part of the game.. its just at the highest level we dont think it makes sense to have arena sizes just run away indefinitely.

Haven't you considered you're punishing people who login the game long time ago?

i'm a 3season player i still in II division because my way of see the game and basketball and no matters, my arena is 10 365 in a slowly gowing up... but what happens to the people who has 2 more sessions in his carreer and now the see how you are cutting down their efforts?

Oh yeah you are giving back the money that the spend at the moment of the build...


but i'm pretty sure than 100 000 in season 3 are not the same 100 000 today...


I'm felxible cause i don't base my game view in motor engine so whatever, however and whenever the change comes, it will be welcome

Sorry for my poor english

I see. Understandable, and I even agree (write it down, this is an historical moment ;) ).

From my personal point of view though, I still don't like it. Especially since you need to compensate the money you lower from arena's by raising money from something users don't have that much control over.
But my reason is stronger then my feelings, so I'll be able to live with it.

In any case, I'm glad for my posts, the reactions of the other managers, and the BB-reactions, since it has given a much better view on why the changes where made, and made me understand better, and now I can view on it from a diffrent angle then I first did.
I hope it did the same for the ones reacting to my posts they totally agreed with me.


PS: I'm still going to finish my project. ;þ
PPS: So far I managed my team totally diffrent then most would think wise, so why would I stop, I'm still running strong (well, if we forget about that loss last saturday.. ) ;)

team training still?

I have read in other posts, and mostly from other large countries like Italy, that if you get demoted from I good luck coming back up. I believe before these changes there is allready a gap forming. This game is still relatively new, and the small trends we see now will only amplify in the future. More separation.

For several seasons I have thought the best drafted players should be skewed towards the lower divisions.
the higher the Division you are in the fewer top notch players there are in each Leagues draft. This would be a natural way to help keep any gap from too big.

will this changes to attendance affect every team, including II-V teams, or only the big arenas of the top divisions?

not exactly team training, but yes, training my entire team.
So far I never trained jump-shot either, something most teams probably train regularly.

I'm now even switching to a new tactic, the REAL teamtraining. I'm planning on buying good players, and then train them in free throws. ;)
Just to prove I'm realy REALY mad. muhahahaaaa. I just need 1 good center. Once I have him, my team training can start, until that time, I keep the regime I was using so far. And so far I'm getting away with it too. Ain't this game great? ;þ
