from the rules... noob :)
Merchandising income comes from your fans buying team apparel. Jersey sales are affected by a combination of factors. One factor is whether you have a winning team. Nobody likes to wear the jersey when you're losing, do they? Other factors include how many domestic players you have on your team, and also how many were drafted by your own team, as fans like supporting local players more than imported talent. This is weighted by the overall skill of the local players, so stocking your team with local bench warmers won't do you much good. Similarly, fans from around the country are particularly enthusiastic supporters of members of their national teams, and even more so when their national team is a succesful one. So, if in a given week your player played in a national team game, fans from around the country will buy their jersey, typically in a quantity proportional to their salary. National team jersey sales will vary depending the strength of the national team, but players playing in their domestic league tend to sell considerably more national team merchandise. Finally, fans from around the league tend to notice the league leaders, particularly in important categories such as points, rebounds, and assists but to some extent in all categories. If your team has players among the league leaders, you will see a bump in jersey sales from fans of other teams in your league, with an additional bump for the most eye-popping numbers in your country or in all of BuzzerBeater.

Yes, winning team, yes, you know
Yes, I've domestic player in roster
Yes, they have been drafted
No national team (but last season I had 2 guys)

So probably it is because I don't have any player in the national team that I've this ridicolous merchandising. About it I've seen a ct of a small NT nation that had 3 players of his team in the roster of his NT, this is really bad, link the NT to the merchandising is completely wrong imho. If I'm a ct of NT and I've 2 similar players I will prefer to play with the player of my friend.

Noob I was, I'm and I'll remain

I've the same "problem" with my team. My merchandising is 21k about, while the average one of my league is 27,5 k. (-30%)
Actually:
-I have 3-0 as record
-I have 5 domestic players in my team, and they all play 48 min or more.
- I have 1 player I drafted and another one I was given when I started.
- No NT players (but I don't think in my league there are a lot of them)
I don't pretend to have 60k as merchandising, but at least my record should guarantee at least the same money the others have.

Apart for Pescetto,your italian trainees still not reach a satisfactory level for your division,so it's normal that your merchandisng income is lower than the average of your league

Yes,you are a noob(with all my affection) :P
P.S. For any GMs,I'm joking with him about his definition as a noob :D

@Nemico:your situation is the same of ned,with all the realted proportions

Steve but pls try to have a look to the other teams, I don't see a lot of Italian players with high skills and in case you've reason (but this is almost impossible :p) this system probably has to be changed, I play the 3 matches with at least 4 Italian players cause I'm training them and at the moment I can't kill the manager of my NT cause he doesn't like my players

Do you really want to count how many national/italian players of good level the teams of your league have?really?
This is your conference situation
Red Star Tiessebi 1 NT player,2 italians of good level(and a third with an higher salary than almost all your italians)
Arianna 3 italians of good level(and a fourth similar to your italians)
Mugghitolandia 2 NT players(1 with the U21 team)
Smelly Cats 1 Nt player(under 21 team),2 italian players of good levels(and two with a salary a litle bit higher of the your italians)
Lucca Pisces 2 italians of good level
Vavar Rivers 1 NT player,1 italian of good level(and one similar to your italians)
Free Karma Food 1Nt player,1 italian of good level(and one similar to your italisn

You have only Pescetto of a good level

Once again, last season I had 2 NT players in my roster and my merchandising was around 30k, how can explain it if you consider only the NT? Then, you think that my other italians are not so good but believe me you're wrong, I'm training them as SF so the salary is not so high but the sum of the skills is not bad at all. I earn half merchandising than Red Star I can't imagine this is due only for NT reasons (also because last season I was in the same situation with 2 u21 in my roster)

After half season my merchandising is still 41k/week, the average is 60k/week, the top is 85k/week. I've a bug? What I can do to increase it? I've to win the cup to keep the same merchanding of the other teams?

hi all these posts have been useful to me as i was wondering about merchanising too.

for you, try and look at other areas of your finances if you need more money as it sounds like your merchandising will look after itself if you decide to develop homegrown talent in the coming seasons.

you could probably make some more money adjusting some of your arena prices and trimming down your roster size, though if you are buying and selling players for profit you should weigh this up with the extra wage/fee costs involved

You get Mechainsing by getting hometown players so in ur case Italian players and also by getting players in the national and U21 team

Thanks guys, what is not clear to me is why I earn 41k and other teams the double. I know my roster and I can see the roster of the other teams in my conference, I can see if they've players on Nt and so on and honestly I don't see any difference between me and the others but my merchandising is the half and this is half including last season when I had 2 players in the u21 NT. So no problem to get 20k/week if the others get 20k/week but I can't "accept" to lose 40k/week, is a salary of one decent player...
