What is the relationship between real life and this game?. Real life is real life and this game is this game. The real life argument is not good to me because there are a lot of aspects of the game that are totally irreal. This game is at a certain extend a way to put your real problems away. That´s how I see it. Playability is the main thing I search in this game. And all the changes in the game need to be balanced to maintain playability.

BuzzerBeater is a basketball simulation, and simulations are modeled on the real world. But in any event, forget the real world. If I'm a team in USA Division IV, and I look and see that no other team in my division is selling more than 6,000 seats, how is it not a bad economic decision to build a 10,000 seat arena? I can't sell that many seats; I don't know for certain that I'm going to promote; and I could likely get a better return if I spent the money on players or staff. Why should I get bailed out for screwing up?

Keep in mind, too, that I'm not proposing that no money be returned. I just don't see why owners who have already gotten their money back in the form of ticket revenue should get a free pass on the costs of the seats they were benefiting from the whole time. So if you recently built seats, and haven't had a chance to earn your money back, you haven't gotten the bargain you paid for and you should receive your money back. Otherwise, no dice.

he is thinking that ticket prices must be constant ;)

Building a 20k arena wasn't a fault in div I, the return are really good, but i suppose that the changes won't get then to resize their arena - so you are off the point with the income.

You suppose, but you really have no idea. Wait and see what happens. Like I said, none of your posts explains why, having already earned money from the seats you built, you should get a full return of their value regardless of how much you earned.

nothing explain why the fan support should about night ;)

So it must be a fair solution, and this is at least 100% money back for a real fair game better don't change it, or wait 8-9 seaons do give people with a solid strategy time to get their succes out of it ;)

You've been playing for seven seasons. You've had plenty of time to earn money from most of the seats in your arena. You still haven't addressed the point I made directly, even after all this discussion. In effect, you just want a no-interest loan.

Some people made a decision to supersize their arenas, paying lots and getting lots in return. Now they want 100% return on seats they used because it is supposedly going to be harder to fill their arenas.

Just before they introduced the potential change in the game, I invested several million dollars in decent players, then watched their value plummet because their potential was only all-star. Why do I not receive a full reimbursement for them? Had I known that change was coming I never would have spent money on them. This seems to be a fairly parallel argument, and it is ridiculous.
