Asunto: Questions & Answers

So... uhh... how am I supposed to compete with this:
hockey.powerplaymanager.c...

Simple - play PPM 10 more seasons

Bahahahahaha. I've been here since day 1. But you're right. It'll take me a whole season just to improve a facility anymore. Time to relegate so I can actually win haha.

On a side note, I just saw some players with 150+ points in 22 games in a fourth division. Man that's insane.

It's quite funny how a win in I.1 gets you about the same OTR as a win in div4 against a noname team. Kinda screws over the perennial middle-of-the-pack teams like myself.

quite intimidating

Then you get teams with 8x 2,500 trip multi's built. Pops... I'm skarrrredddd.

Hang on bro, it's not as bad as you think, he hasn't got so much quality youth players like this guy hockey.powerplaymanager.c...
I must congratulate each and every one of them who has 8*2500 + 15th level training + other buildings close to 15. Thats huge amount of money we are talking about.

Ya AoPT has a good team. I'm still waiting for that economic collapse of the big teams. I guess it hasn't come as early as I anticipated.

there's no economic collapse that would hurt more big ones than little ones

Disagree. Player salaries of 1,000+ OR guys times 25 guys plus staff plus facility expenses should slow their growth. I just suppose when you're raking in 2-3x the cash I am a week the money crunch has hit me before it's hit them.

Seems good thought, but take me as an example, I have no 8x2500, no money from arena whatsoever, but I will have some 1000+OR guys, + staff, plus facility expenses, and it will cost me dearly to mess in their high rated stew.
You better think some better scenario for me, or we will be close in strength as we were in the I season

I don't have a single player who has broke the 800OR mark yet... in 8 seasons of training and pulling players. So I'm just going to try and build a sweet rink and hope it makes me enough cash to maintain everything else.

Hope some of big guys will fund your sweet rink build.
Time to pull some perspective Canadians from SA.

Just wait for the best players to became UFA! While doing that you can imagine what it'll cost like to keep players like these: Carlos Meireles , Joe Humphreys , Roman Košický .

Every of those are clearly worth 250M at least (now and their value keeps increasing and increasing) and I'm pretty sure other managers are ready to offer that when those guys are UFA. If you're lucky you have paid all season bonuses it's possible and you'll save some money when the player is 26 years old but you'll still have to pay 0,15*250M = 37,5M. When he's 29 you'll again have to pay some money, now 0,35*250M = 87'5M and the same sum when he is 32 (ok, his value may drop but his CL may still be 2/6 and he's got few seasons to play at the top of ppm world) which makes 37,5+87,5+87,5 = 212,5M

And that's what you've got to pay during 6 seasons just to keep one player in your team. Now imagine what's it like when you've got 10 players like that and half of them have no season bonuses paid. I can say it won't be easy all their best for teams like [hockey_team=18200]

Don't know where the Humphreys guy came from I was supposed to post this player: Renius Lionas

True. But comparing revenues from tickets, TV rights and general sponsor, to those costs, it's not so high spending since they would have nothing to build anymore.
