Looking at FtPs and PtWs in the industry right now, and monetization, many top games (RPGs, warsimulations, social games, action, puzzle, you name it) are going FtP with PtW and/or selling cosmetics, exclusive items etc. etc.



Sorry mate could you please explain further what Ftps and PtWs are?

Im a little but older than most and not all that techno savvy but Im guessing FtP is Free to Play but I have no idea what PtWs are?

Something that I think could create a buzz is bringing players back from the dead. Loads of great players get lost in the system due to teams going bot, poor managers, etc, but these guys continue to get a paycheck sent to them every week. PUT THESE NO GOOD LOAFERS TO WORK. And make it an event. wheel out a selection at a special time to go on the auction block. Or better yet allow these guys to actually find work,hey I will be happy to accept resumes. Conversely we cannot continue the humputer rights abuse some of us put players through by working them deep into middle age to quench some sinister managers desire to literally work someone to death, players must have the ability to better decide on their own if they are ready to hang it up.

So what I started to do, I started writing some articles on my league forum
Good for you. I like seeing that instead of some of the complaining on the boards. Good for you!

BB might look into creating a 'shop' where they sell the frazzle dazzle bells and whistles stuff. It probably wont bring a high level of user around or make the game more competitive really...but it will maybe make them money, money to improve and dev...

That’s an interesting idea, as long as its development didn’t actually divert programming resources from the real game.

I agree,. but when is the right age to retire becomes the question. I'm thinking 39. then auto retire. I would also suggest a thing that players would retire if they are not satisfied with minutes and play at a certain agee.

Not only would help finances, it help open up spots in the roster without spending. If we fire them as of today, we still have to pay them ,with retirement we don't have to pay them .

Its about money at the end of the day

You only pay salaries if you fire trainers, PR guys or doctors. If you fire players you don't pay their salaries.
