I don't have your exact finances, without the any cup revenue you should be running some kind of profit, say around 50k a week. Based on:

Rev:
last game ~165k
tv - 35K
merch - 30k (total guess, could be off)

Exp
sal - 130k
staff - 50k

No, and it likely won't be. The staff system is designed to create an incentive to change your staff members from time to time, not to cling on to them for all eternity.


I understand ... what I was getting at was with wage increases, you would eventually have to dump them anyway.

And for the record, this was just something I was curious about, and not a complaint in any way. I really like the new staff system since it adds a new dynamic to the game that will lead to another tier of diversity from team to team. Once the initial panic rush of people wanting to lock down new trainers occurs, I could see the prices dropping on these guys significantly ... after all, it's just basic supply and demand.

Thanks for answering

This new system is horrible. I'm a division II team and there's absolutely, positively no way I can afford to bid on any respectable staff and then pay their salaries on top of that. I've already lost money this season. If it's not changed by the end of this season, I'm done.

If nobody can afford to pay for the respectable staff, then prices of the staff will drop.

I would like to add that I agree fullt with Jan here. Im staying with my lvl 2 / 5 / 4 staff, because the benefit added by the upper levels isn't that high to replace the costs of getting them (which currently is in the 500+ thousand range).

Although I am trying to get staff of those levels with specialities, because they can be helpful come playoff time.

... after all, it's just basic supply and demand.


I hope that this statement is true. But, I doubt. U see, there are 3 arguments against the point that "with time, the prices for the staff members will start to drop":

1. With time, the current teams will gain more and more money. = More money

2. With time, more and more new BB membres will join. = More teams.

3. Level 7 Trainer is very rare! = Fixed supply.

With time there will be 1) more money accumulated by the current teams, and 2) more teams in BB. That means that the demand for lvl 7 trainer till raise. And because the supply will stay fixed (small avalable lvl 7 trainer) i believe that the prises for lvl 7 trainers will still be high (higher maybe).

What you're also missing is that some of those people who are now willing to bury 2 million in a level 7 coach will figure out that it's much more effective to keep 1,950,000 of this money and buy a level 5 coach.


What? Now you tell me after I've spent $6.5M on three level 7 staff members and can't afford their ever-rising salary demands!
