how often you will get chanche to change ticket prices, next season?

Please things on the newcomes who have to find out the right prices, before making it just in the ASD and beginning and end of the PO.

I wonder why they need to change the time that we can change the ticket prices...

i think it makes sense to changes prices right after a pro or demotion, or just before the PO ;)

Well that changes also the time that we will expand our arenas too. In real life you can change the prices at will. If for example Panathinaikos is playing against Peristeri(small team), then the ticket prices are low. When they play against Olympiacos then we have sold out, on max price

in germany the prices are fixed before the season begins, in rare cased some "top game bonuses" are given.

But i don't think that a weekly change will be good, because of the "succes" fans here in BB because then you got a winning and loosing price.

I am not asking to be the same, but i am having hard time to understand the necessity to change the current system. Reduce our profit maybe? and force us to train more balanced players, with more affordable salaries? Just a thought.

It is a change that a lot of people have been asking for for a long time. To me it makes much more sense to correlate pricing changes to key events in the season- preseason, all-star break, playoffs than to make it arbitrarily the first of the month.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

the profit correlates with the salarys, so it won't be a key for it ;) And here the system is for everyone the same, so that this argument works.

Also i would say price change before and after PO will make the profit higher, because there you need other prices.

Yes a player could become capped before reaching the salary that we estimate he will be capped at. This would most likely happen if he was trained well rounded leading to a lower salary yet a high number of skills. This is because we use the salary as a means of estimating simply because we know the cap and the salary formula are both dependant on the skills. With the salary formula changing to meet the changing economic conditions this is becoming an increasingly ineffective means of estimating when a player will become capped. As I had suggested in another thread a more accurate and applicable means of estimating potential caps is the total number of skills and something we should transition to using instead of a salary number which will fluctuate.

The issue is that we don't know if the potential cap is a weighted mean,because if we only see at the sum of skills,a big man with legendary potential could reach the legendary level in all the primary skills,but he could have a total sum of skill included the "guards skills" below than a center with lower primary skills and higher "guards skills"

Completely agree that we would need to figure out if it is weighted. However this can be done by collecting enough data on the total skills of a capped player and their distribution. We have done similar to this in order to break down the salary formula and figure out how its computed. My point is that its not efficient to measure when a player will be capped with a standard that will be fluctuating over time (salary).

Sum of skills has its limitations, probably more than the salary method. Using the example of allstar potential, the minimum sum of skills before hitting the cap is probably in the neighbourhood of 50 (a uni-skilled C) with the maximum (for a very balanced player) being in the 100 range - maybe even more.

The salaries for the salary method can be updated every season without too much trouble.
