Of course your friend is bored. Carrying 160k in salary requires him to perform the tedious, tiresome, and decreasingly profitable task of day trading.

What am I looking at that is so impressive? The three teams have comparable arena sizes; however, your friend has been playing the game for twice as long. Each user is leading their league, but your friend's team is carrying over twice the salary to accomplish the exact same task.

Adding in some math,

Salaries: hrudey: ~90k, your friend: ~160k

160 - 90 = 70

Take that 70k, multiply it by 14 weeks and you get 980,000 in savings for a season.

Adding to all this, the age of your mentee's players ensures that not only will his players not get any better, their transfer value will decline each season they're on his team. The teams I've shown as examples improve with each passing week, and their players become more marketable as their skills progress.

Your team is going to go bankrupt very very soon.

I think he already knows lol.... but I wonder what most managers would do if they've dugged a hole as big as he did... reroll? I mean, he's just in DV, maybe let the team go bot, read about the game in the meantime. Then once it's gone, make a new one? New teams, besides a nice starting capital, have that four weeks of 50ks don't they? He'll be wiser, got more in his pocket, and feel happier playing too. Right now I think most would just lose their heads...

i believe that my great financial skills will enable me to make it through this period not in bankrupcuy

i have read about this game time and time again i do exactly what it says i play my guys for 48 minutes plus every week and i train them small amount of players each time. and i have the top trainer so why isnt my players improving fast

Well, how old, how tall, and what are you training them in. All of those affect the speed at which they will improve.

What do you mean by "top level" trainer? World renowned?

How many pops have you gotten this season? What's your exact training schedule? Are you at times training guard skills, and at times training inside skills?

It's hard to help without this sort of info

EDIT - Sorry, my fault, all the ensuing discussion made me forget what started this whole thread. Besides, Indy Elite made a separate thread to ask for help.

You don't even need to multiply it; just figure that to break even compared to me, he's got to average a 70k daytrade profit per week (plus probably another 10k/wk in merchandise difference), minus whatever our difference is in staff and arena. (well, and scouting to be precise, though I'm mostly just dumping money in that because I can and at some point I expect to end up somewhere where I lose a lot, hopefully coinciding with a promotion this season and a lot of 1pos training0.

He hasn't been doing well trading lately. It takes time, you got to shop off hours and sell on.

As far as I know, it's probably pretty possible to do that anyhow, regardless of his individual situation. I was just pointing that out to make sure the proper reference points were being used -- just comparing my salary to his doesn't tell the whole story. ;)
