Well, obviously i do not want to complain...

my merchandise rose almost 33% compared to last week.

Guess its no Bug, but can you help to explain?
Two new (over league-average) players (with good stats in the First game), and a roster slightly oder league-average is the only explanation i have.

But i also fired a rookie recently, Sold One + Sold two long time roleplayers.

Just want to understand...

Regards, Ted

Fan survey

I have a strong suspicion that it takes the N/A tabs as 1s or worse - 0s (default value) when calculating the average and thus causes a drop in merch for those first weeks when rival, TV and cup are still N/A. That's especially bad for new teams where their "last season" tab stays N/A for a whole season potentially.

Maybe that's how it is supposed to work but I doubt it. It is much fairer to calculate the average only for those tabs that are available.

I'm not 100% sure on that but maybe it's worth checking.

Since this is a running topic...

Hi Justin,

I've won 5 games in a row, am still in the cup and my last win (Saturday) was a TV game. And yet my Merch revenues are down 20k whereas i was expecting an increase!

One of my international players didnt play last week with his NT, but i don't have any domestic NT players anyways, so that can't be the explanation! And there's no such drop if a non-domestic NT doesnt play.

Plus winning TV games must be rewarded somehow, right? if not in merch increase, then how? what's the added value??

Thanks.

Hey, The main cause of your drop in merch is because your NT players did not play

Thanks for the feedback Justin - I have to say i'm surprised with the quickness of your reply. So not buzzerbeateresque

Now to come back to my subquestion - isn't a win in a TV game supposed to give a boost in the merch figures?

And if not, where does the boost materialize? Thanks!

What about the league leaders? Had you one who is not in the top 10 anymore for example? That can be enough (with your foreign NT player) to explain the drop.
Could be, of course. Plus Justin broke the NT merch down for me.
But in the same way, my win in Saturday's tv game should also be reflecting somewhere, right?

It does, thanks. So to sum up, it doesnt increase if you win it - and won it previously, but decreases if you lose it.
Not very logic to me, but at least i have my answer...

It remains that i've never had such a low merch - by far - although i've had NT players not playing in the past. Anyways... it's not gonna help BB and I to make up...

Thanks Justin
