Well..you are Game Master :P

I'm not even going to ask.

The STH number is a snapshot of where it is at the beginning of the season.

It varies from week to week and plays a role in attendance.

It is not one fixed number for the whole season.

This doesn't really make sense. Isn't that the point of season tickets - that they give you a fixed number for the whole season?

Not that I am not on your side here on this thread, but if that statement is true then maybe they shouldn't be called season ticket holders.

That's why the disclaimer is "Number of Season Ticket Holders (as of the beginning of the season) : 4128"

Gives you a rough idea of where they stand.

I think there's more to it than that, honestly, but there is a behind the scenes variable.

i think we should all chill and take it easy and think and better yet ask what is your problem in handling your team and lets work on it.

just because your short in money doesnt mean there is a problem with the game's current economy doing.

what i would like to say, some of us who played this game for already 2-3 seasons think you already understand the game but in fact your not. there a lot of things that affects your team in the way you decided.

an example, in the nba if a team pays 3 or more players with salary that star players get surely not only that their team hurt themselves in their financial way but also incur luxury tax penalty which is 1 dollar is to a dollar.

but since in this game you are allowed to increase your arena capacity to a uncontrolled number, you take time to invest in this. takes money and all but in the end of the day it allows you to have better leverage in handling more better players.

what am i saying is, dont come out here and rant when you team is paying 2 or more players with 40-100k salary a week wherein your income from your home games doesnt allow you to have much flexcibiltiy.

lastly if you dont plan right even with a 40k capacity arena wont get you that much money if you dont know what your doing.

Right, but the point of a season ticket is that it is for the whole season.

Season tickets can go up during a season if people buy them midseason, but they don't go down.

I don't know what they mean in BB context, but I'm just pointing out the obvious when I say that if the number goes down during a season then they are not season ticket holders.

I see a common underlying theme in many of the discussions in the Global (English) forum, especially the ones dealing with economics. Forgive my metaphor but I am reminded of the old fable of the race between the tortoise and the hare.....

It seems many teams choose to build arenas, have solid training systems and maintain a solid economy, which over the course of several seasons bears fruit in steady growth. These are the tortoises.

Other teams max out salary and spend all of thier cash on established players in order to compete and promote now. Advancing quickly suddenly they do not have the income or resources to compete with the teams they are now surrounded, and find themselves in fiscal deficit, status quo slipping away. We then find them in the forums asking for changes to the system in order to keep pace, claiming its not fair that other teams have arenas/trainers/etc etc that other teams have. These are the hares.



Who won that race, anyone remember?

i think it makes sense but all i wanna say is,

they made a choice and what ever comes after that choice you should be man enough to take what it gives you.

as you said they want to compete right away, in that process they keep buying talent and just with money didnt thought of how to control their own money.

they got a very good team but got no way of supporting himself beyond paying players.

That is exactly my point.
