I think the economy in BB NEEDS to be reworked.

I don't really understand how you can make a statement like this after playing for less than three weeks.

The off season is the most difficult part of the BB year. You're making it through with a little bit of profit each week. Nice work. Once the regular season rolls around, you'll be making more money.

The draft will give you 3 new players to use or sell. Game revenue, TV revenue, and merchandising revenue will all increase for you as your team progresses.

I think the economy in BB NEEDS to be reworked.

Everything that BadLarry just said plus:

Why are you even considering or worrying about expanding your stadium? If things are as dire as you say, then that's about the worst thing you can do. Especially considering you havent even been having matches, let along selling them out.

As for the players, we can't tell you which or how many of your players to sell/keep. You need to weigh the risk/rewards of those sales. We can't tell you exactly how to run your training program.

In my opinion, the BB's have done a great job in thinking about the economy as a whole and setting it up so that this game won't have the same issues as HT which is taking it's lumps for being so transfer market based.

All fair points and duly noted. Thanks.

dude,

better watch what your saying,we already said a lot of pointer its up to you now how you digest it, we cant keep feeding you info. use that crack of nut of yours. ( no offense meant)

as one player said never underestimate the players in your team, i never sold any of my stars because i dont know if i can find someone up to par compare to them. but i already fired those i cant use especially with the high salary.

check your players salary is another, if you got a good player but seldom use and high salary either you sell him or keep em.

i dont think its fair for you to say to the bb's that they need to rework on the economics of this game, you need time to understand how things work here. the you start saying things you thought through.

selling players to get money is like playing the lottery, if you won and by BB standard you get a lumpsome amount of money to work on what strategies or plan but it doesnt translate to winning since its you like rid of yourself of a excellent guy for a above average guy maybe or worst or better. while winning is a constant way of getting money on a regular basis like example since im winning im getting almost 60k a game so everygame at my homecourt i get 60k.

if your concern is just getting money to work on quick basis then sell your guy, if your a patient guy and likes planning then work on the wins. pls understand your motives and what you plan. we will be glad to help you but dont criticize something you dont completely understand.

this is a manager online game, meaning you manage so start doing it. think :D

Relax SharkBoy. Relax.

Pot, meet kettle.

Ok...

1. The economy is fine as it is.

2. If altering to the economic model needs to be done in the future the BBs have thought about it and have prepared methods to deal with any instability.

3. Everyone please stop arguing about this it is an issue that has been WELL covered in the forums and long posts explaining each individuals economic reasoning does nothing to convince the BBs. (I know I have been there)

You will all see that economic success is not that difficult. Play a season or two and you will find out how to develop and be a great success.

I can only say that you need to find a balance between 'training and selling' AND upgrading your arena. Do not neglect either or you will enter the red zone and be shot for bad management. ;)

I'm not telling people to watch what I say. I can say anything I want. It is constructive criticism and I'm sure that they can handle it.

I started three weeks ago and I'm still waiting for my first home game. Needless to say my finances are completely and utterly hosed. I get three TV games this season but the first two are on the road and the last one is the final week of the season. I'm already in the red about $5000 and that is with no player purchases. I feel reasonably confident that I won't be able to financially survive the next few weeks.

TV revenue is split between the two teams, home and away.

If you have a draftee at a position you don't ordinarily train, sell him now.

I was quite pleasantly suprised at the first-day bids for a couple of very average draftees that I put on the market.
