I just signed in. My team is in 5th place, and I've seen on the roster there is no matches in sight...

yet I start with 100k in my account, while I will lose about 40k weekly...

I'm not sure when my first match will be, or what other income I can count on, but I know I signed in on the worst possible way... at the end of regular season, with no matches ahead until...

I haven't realy started yet, and already must think about ways to avoid bankrupcy.

Anyone is a worse position...feel free to announce yourself. ;)

You will receive 50k a week for the first 4 weeks as a new team bonus. So you should be ok at least through the off-season.

Per the news item on the front page, you'll also have two additional matches during the offseason.

thanks, didn't know about the 50k.

And those scrimmages, will this help a lot?
in training yes, but will they draw as much spectators as competition games?

I doubt it. But, it gives you an opportunity to see your team in action, try out some tactics, and then dominate the regular season!

They won't draw anywhere close to league/cup matches. Plus no revenue is generated from scrimmages.

okay, so there goes my hope for a few bucks...

well, at least we can get some training.

good thinking of the developpers to give noobs 50 k each week. (I doubt I would survive if not, now it should take me trough the off season)
Hope I can sell some players to lower my wages each week. ;)

Are you sure you didn't get the 50k? It has been there since the beginning of season 1. It may have been hard to spot due to the economy page being confusing.

i understand the frustration with teams getting placed above you...but why wouldn't you be upset about a team getting put into DIII when you are in D IV?

I don't see how we can avoid putting teams into leagues that are already somewhere in the playoffs. I also don't see how we can reset the standings for new teams...as this would make strategizing a nightmare... say you are CT to get into the playoffs... then a new team signs up and you are now in.. but you didn't check your tactics soon enough and are then upset cause you CT unnecessarily etc...

we very much would love to get rid of as many bot teams in human divisions as possible. I'm not sure whether we have decided what to do.. part of me wants to just promote everyone up in some way so that there are no bot teams except in the lowest active division. the downside of that is that it sort of makes the playoffs this year meaningless...
