1. Will the new attendance formula be less influenced by the result of the last game? My biggest issue with attendance is that its so focused on your last game result and should be more based on a longer-term average.


This is an important question to know the answer to!


1. You might consider changing top league income based on the size of the countries user base. For example, there is a disproportionate number of I clubs, because all the small countries have no II leagues and those teams have the potential to make huge income streams. If income was scaled according to user base size (not linearly, but maybe using a log function or something...that would reduce a lot of the teams making huge profits and creating run-away inflation.

For example income in various countries might scale by...

Italy (3200 users) -> log 3200 = 3.5 (income in larger countries fairly similar -- maybe there could even be a cap)
USA (900 users) -> log 900 = 2.95
Brazil (500 users) -> log 500 = 2.70
...
Bulgaria (160 users) -> log 160 = 2.20 (top league teams in medium countries might be make more like II money)
...
Japan (13 users) -> log 13 = 1.11 (top teams from smaller counties wound be making considerably less and thus wouldn't be contributing to the inflation effect).



Thanks! - We already make less because the average team that visits us has little or no STH - the fact we can accumalate decent win/loss records offsets this fact. Then when you lose - ouch (back to Q1) it takes a while to get back to 75% capacity....

As jbmcrock says - the changes will effect the 'average' Div1 more. Those with bigger stadiums should be able to survive and push on despite the reduced revenue. Those that don't will be forced to increase their arenas.

If new actions harm the smaller nations more than the bigger ones then the already fragile userbases will retract or disappear having massive knock on effects to already stagnant National teams.

All the foundations for a strong International framework and newly proposed U20s will only ever be interesting for the more prominent countries...

If this is really just to contain money supply, why not just temporarily increase player salaries by a large amount? This could be done in a weighted way so that the salary increase only impacts players who currently have large wages.

You said that player salaries have not caught up to what you want. So just set them that way. If you want the top players to have $500,000 salaries, then do it. Reset the salaries every year so that again the top players have a $500,000 salary. Then mid-range players who currently have 5-10 thousand in salary could remain relatively the same.

Also, something that could introduce a cost would be to age players faster. Right now they need to be geezers before they start to see a drop in skill.

Anyhow, I will take your suggestion, watch the changes and see what happens. You have never disappointed before so I will be cautiously optimistic. ;-)

This whole thing looks like treating headache with the guillotine. If you're going to target anything, target huge arenas until player salaries catch up with the revenue. That's the actual issue here.


I'd like BB-Charles to comment on this one because it looks like a reasonable idea.

:-)

I don't think they are going to tell. We'll just have to wait and see. But what's the rush? Is it going to change your whole plan for next season the way the financial changes did? Patiance...

He is refering to Division I teams that do not have large arenas and depend on TV money. Other than tv money and larger arenas how is it that he would make so much more money than you? That is his point - if there is no advantage in TV money and he has the same a rean that a lower division team has then he is going to have a great deal of trouble under the new changes.


more attendance at higher prices, for example?

I don't think the answer is to speed up the "end of the game." Players will eventually reach their peaks and decline, it is only seaosn 6, give it 4 more and you will see what they had been reaching for this whole time.
