League AVERAGE income is now nearly -16k…. No wonder this league is so competitive and stacked with talent! Cup matches/BBM are pretty much must wins to keep things going sustainably

This sorta plays into my comment last week asking if anyone else has an income problem.

It looks like 6-7 teams are doing $5,000/weekly in scouting and the rest are doing $0. So from an expense side it’s salaries and if anyone is spending crazy on staff + arena infrastructure causing these metrics to be way out of whack.

My theory is Urban Flow & Belvedere have been around for many years and have lots of expenses - some which increase their merch and attendance to they have an offsetting effect. Also, Urban Flow’s players are all 30+ so he doesn’t spend on a trainer but rather just invests in game shape.

I am so so so so curious what their net income/loss is each week though because my gut is they’re skewing our results one way or the other .

I stopped investing in Scouting costs. I have a strong young core that’s currently developing (obviously not D3 Ready)

We were netting over $100k a week, just made an acquisition so now we are about $86k a week.

A few teams have to be bleeding money at a rate of over $100k/week then.

Granted the economy page doesn’t account for BBM/NT wins, so up until this week, I’m sure the ‘real’ losses were much less. But with BBM and NT done for most teams, it’ll be interesting to see how everyone’s warchest holds up.

This is a super competitive league so I’m not surprised at the acquisitions to stay relevant in the W/L category.

It will be inter indeed. You can only run a negative operating income for so long.

The Preyers were losing money this season, until this week: it wasn't 100K, but it might have been 60K at its peak. I've been reducing it a little at a time. I have trouble balancing training for U21NT, for example, and keeping enough wins in the win column to satisfy the fans, especially if the trainees need to play out of position and get some game experience. It isn't that I can't do it, but I fight it. I don't get as much out of the game.

To digress briefly from the topic: The training system is out of sync with how I envision practice/training going for a basketball team. It's a simulation, so we make sacrifices for the fun of the game, but training has been one of the few consistent complaints I have about how the SIM works. I'm also not ecstatic with how the GE decides results--too much use of fouls (as in my last game with the Red Peppers) and injuries (for one game) to get to the result. Small complaints. The game is still very, very good!
