I'm speaking about league games.
I'm speaking about this week incomes.
How much managers looking for season but not weekly finances management? For me very important what i have today +100k or -100k ;) not for me alone this schedule sucks :))

You have known your schedule for 6 weeks yet. So you have had a lot of time to prepare for week without home match.

I have team with maybe +2k profit per week :)
i can't sell players because of "improved" economy, these small nonsenses like perfect schedule with bright view into the future and staff wages still not corrected. How BB can grow when things going like that...? :)) In HT my country have ~5k managers, here we have ~2k (1/3 i guess don't active teams).

PS. Lithuania Basketball country.

I have team with maybe +2k profit per week :)

So who do you think is to blame here? Bad management by your mom, or...?

i will not sell players because you like high salarys and low weekly balance economy

There fixed it for you.

How BB can grow when things going like that...? :))

You have to understand, incomes for teams at certain level have max value. The best manager is the one who can get the best team together using that income cap.

In HT my country have ~5k managers, here we have ~2k (1/3 i guess don't active teams).

Why would you compare football management game to basketball game. I could not care less how many users play a game that is still in the 1940 year with their rules. HT is also boring as you have to train one thing, play the same tactic, rince repeat.
As you are so great with numbers HT - 5000 out of 847 915 users = 0,59%, BB - 2000 out of 54846 users = 3,65%. I guess Lithuania is a Basketball country after all.

comedian you will be i guess? :)) we have joke about this HT and BB managers number. If HT per ~10years reach 800k users with all economy crises... when BB reach at least 200k users with this super improvements season over season + all fails? :)

I doubt we arrive to 200k users since the economy is getting complicated season after season and most common for new users is that they dont keep playing the game.

Apart from that on Spain we are only 5,6k users and we could be 25k or more without problem(but i suppose this is going off-topic...)

Relax, I know what I want. I'm not looking to buy something cheap. I'm willing to wait until I have enough money to get what I want.

I know I'm going to be accused of whining because I'm Italian, but I have to say just one thing.

You know where's the difference between you (or another "small" country manager) and a "big" country manager that says the same thing?

Time.

(remembe, before I go on with my example, that the more people there's in a country the more competitivity rise, because of the bigger number of good managers, so less W, less income from public, less income from merchandising, and so on)

You will need an amount of time, to gather the money you need, of let's say X. A team playing in II in a "big" country (for example, Italy), will need an amount of time equal to X² (no jokes on X being one, please, you know what I mean!) and he'll not even be sure to reach his goal.

I know I'm from a lesser league and I have to avoid big projects on buying players, but it's about a couple of weeks now that I'm looking for a player that can be useful as SF. I know Ill'never be able to buy someone as good as I would like. I need just someone suitable for a IV league here in Italy.
Well, you know? I didn't buy anyone because each player I could afford was too weak, and each player who had the minimum skills to play decently was too high in price, due to all the small nations managers (who can afford to buy even overpriced players) making prices rise.

Now I'll have to sell at least one good guy playing in another role to reach the amount of money that can allow me to buy someone not even as good as I'd need, but slightly weaker. That means, renforcing a position in my team, but weakening another position and losing a still trainable (that means someone I could sell later for a higher price) guy.

You talk a lot about first divisions, but it's people in lesser divisions that's struggling more trying to make the end of each season not bankrupting and not relegating.

100% agree.

Teams from lesser leagues have to deal with negative numbers, around -0k to -400k. Not to talk that when you have to buy a new coach is a ''drama'', consedering to sell 1 player to buy a coach, and most of the times the coach you want is being overrated paying more money than the team will safe, and a clearlly a bad business.

This week only one game again. I'm playing away.

Question - why BB don't make equally finances this week for home and away teams (league games)? Why one side namely this week forced incur losses? :)

I can understand the sentiment.. but unless I'm reading the schedule wrong:

21/08/2010 15:30:00 2 Hero home arena -- 1 BC Hypnotic

You're at home on the 1 league game played this week. The economic update is on sunday night/monday morning and you're at home saturday.

That said, teams with no home game this week will have a week on their schedule with 2 home games to make up for it. So as was stated previously, look at finances on a larger scale and things will work out in the long run. Managing finances day to day and week to week doesn't work well in life or in BB.

You know, I'm not an expert on coaches, I'm stuck on a lvl 4 coach since my second season (season 8), and when my first lvl 4 started earning too much, I had to fire him (what a pain in the a**! I had to pay him a week, plus paying the price to hire the new one!) and find a coach of the same level who was earning much less...
That is exactly what I'm saying: in small countries to be competitive you don't need to have the same kind of expensive roster as we have to in big countries. That means saving a lot of money and being able, after half a season, to afford buying a player I need at least a couple of seasons of genius managing, both on the field and by the bank, and luck (to avoid relegations) to afford.

That's what's not fair, not that in BBB there are "monster teams" from small countries. A top league team can survive anyway, even if it gets kicked of from BBB at first round. It's us, playing in lesser level leagues, the ones drowning.
