if you think buzzer is slow, what about hattrick, teahHB, where it takes 5 weeks for a single stat raise?

concerning the spending and income during offseason, well that's a risk...
there must be risks in games.
in first person shooters you die, here you go bankrupt or have to sell players.
good financial decisions are part of the game and what separates good managers from bad ones.
also, the offseason needs to be this long, the BB need time to prepare drafts, relegations and promotions, NT elections must be held and people must have time to present their cases, it can't all be done in a week.
