Asunto: Questions & Answers

Souvenir sales only come from the fan shops according to the guide. Snack bars and restaurants only help to increase attendance (even though I would expect them to contribute some income). The fan shop contributes about 1/8 of ticket sales for a completed stadium (I don't know if this ratio scales evenly).

In a previous home match I had $49,000 in souvenir sales. Still wondering why my fan base isnt thirsty or hungry.

So, I have a question about season bonuses, mainly just asking for an opinion.

I have this new 15 year old i got from my sports academy. My team is not great, so this new 308 OR prospect is my second highest rated player already, slotted easily into the CB slot, and has been my best defensive player since he joined. But, only problem is, the 5/6 CL he came with.

I have these two 16 year old prospects with 6/6 CL. They are not bad for the quality of team i have (272 and 267 OR) but theyre not quite ready yet. Both are the first guys i call in when I need an injury replacement, and both have a decent shot at starting next season.

Should i give the 5/6 15 year old a bonus over one of the 6/6 16 year olds?

My personal opinion is that, at this level, the money you would spend on a bonus would be better spent on arena seating or facilities.

How do I report a pennant picture that is . . . not so great?

I'm not sure if there's an official reporting method, but sending a mail to vlady should get it fixed.

Im wondering what to make of this. I just played a game, I was down by 11 at half, my settings made my effort go from normal to very low, and then i lost the game by 9. I didnt change any settings besides my match importance, and from the looks of it, my opponent didnt change any tactics. How come I ended up winning the match by less if the only change in the half was me "trying" less? Seems like something that has popped up a few times, so im just wondering if this is dumb luck or if theres something im missing

Random chance plays a fairly large role in this game. Both outcomes were probably within the margin of likely outcomes.

One other possibility is your settings for changing goaltenders or timeouts. Check the guide under goalkeeper substitutions. If your goalkeeper gives up a lot of consecutive goals, apparently his confidence goes down, and he performs worse. You can prevent a momentum swing from many consecutive goals by using timeouts and by briefly changing your goalkeeper. It's possible that you gave up consecutive goals in the first half which snowballed into a much worse result.

Looking at the game that you are probably talking about, you did give up 10 consecutive goals to end up down 1-10 by 13:22. You didn't give up more than 3 consecutive goals for the rest of the match. It seems you used a timeout after being down 1-7. Your goalkeeper gave up a lot of goals between his 2nd save and getting substituted for.

You might consider lowering the thresholds for making a substitution and calling a timeout a little bit (if you lower it too much, you might use these options up too early and be unable to respond to similar problems that occurs later in the half though).

ok, that is helpful, thank you!
