I'd get hit by 50%, and I would still be in the green ~ 20k, even though my staff salaries are 80k.

I doubt anyone from our DI would be in the red, and those who don't train could potentially have 100k income, though that's much lower than the 350-400k income they would have had otherwise.

I will be on the red, just waiting to see how much. Already now arena income is very bad (454k) and when it will be half, current figures shows that it will be about -20k per week.

Can someone tell when the first and second 1/3 of the season will end exactly?


I already found out myself.

Other question related to the fan boycot. If you don't win a game in the last third of the season, does the boycot effect will continue in the beginning of the following seasons or does it end at the end of the season?

Based on the wording in the Game Manual I would say so.

The game manual isn't very explicit on this one. I can't find if the effect would continue the following season. I would assume it does, but would like to know for sure.

lets imagine the scenario where you cant go up or down after 2/3 of season and you want to tank final 1/3 to earn some money to compete better next season.you get punished even for that?now that madness in my opinion...

Well, if you are not going to go down for sure after 2/3 of the season, then I can't imagine a scenario where you can't win a game of the last 7 keeping a roster near to the salary floor.
I don't think there will be too many teams punished for this. The most cases will be teams that give up the last third of the season.

The whole concept is beyond stupid imo. Of course it will only affect a handful of managers, but the threat itself is a very bad situation to put sb in.

Definitely won't raise the excitement for the people affected.

About time you guys come clean on this and say it out loud that it's not about tanking but about losing. Tanking is not just losing.

In any case the weakest team in a conference will always struggle to win one or more games in each third of the season. And if they don't win any game in the first third, you also made sure you erased the possibility for them to buy and try to win more games by killing their gate receipts.

Also a 50% penalty will take 11 home games to go away, 40% will take 9 games and so on, otherwise it will cumulate with a new penalty. Too long.

All of this while not punishing ANY tanking team in divisions where there is at least 1 bot per conference (and they are the majority in BB). Congratulations...you should have listened to Perpete.

Interesting sentence. Were you present in the discussion?

And if they don't win any game in the first third, you also made sure you erased the possibility for them to buy and try to win more games by killing their gate receipts.


You forget that you should have money to suffer any fan boycott, so they can buy before and after it.
