Asunto: I.1

Darn boys, tough start to the season. Could it be rebuilding time?

ROFL My arena is only half full WTF man, this sucks.

RCR only team with 9pts... and a +4 to boot! Insane. Best take a screener.

Also, I would have never imagined the impact would be so huge.

I have not gone below normal in league and friendlys. Now I am thinking that normal is now the new vl. Has anyone tracked what the difference is in exp and ch? Mikpj I wonder what the cost would have been if you jumped to med or vh for the third. Wonder if it evens it out.

I really don't like thinking too much in my online games. i come here to relax my brain not make 1001 excel calculations
I just wanna have fun not do homework.

I guess all games will be played on Normal?

that is why we have the other ones who will figure this out for us.

we're all anxiously awaiting canucks357's calculations, hahaha. Don't hold out on us Scott...

Whatever the calculations are, they are preposterously extreme.

yah, thats just silly losing as many as you did. I just don't get the point of it. It will just shift energy usage, people who played VL will play normal, and people who played normal will have to play H or VH.

If it's to avoid having people tank by playing VL in the playoffs, they'll just play VH all season and kill of their energy while avoiding the attendance loss.

It actually could end up creating more of a discrepancy between the higher strength teams and the lower strength teams in a league. If higher strength teams start regularly playing on normal, lower strength teams will have 2 options:

a) totally give up on that game and play VL, accepting a loss. (tanking the match)

b) Play on VH and burn off 1 full energy point more than the higher strength opponent, leaving them even further apart in team strength after the match.

They way it was, if a higher strength team played on VL, the lower team would usually only have to give up a 0.4 difference in energy(using normal)to try to steal a win.

Hey,

I was planning on running some numbers once the impact had been noticed. To be completely honest, I didn't expect such drastic cuts in attendance. I think this is a little extreme and when I talk with the developers next week I will bring this up. I think the premise is a good idea, but, the magnitude is a bit excessive. I mean, >50% drop in Sasquatch's attendance after a VL/VL/VL loss on the road? I'm curious what would happen with L/L/L or VL/L/L etc.

Makes me thankful I won today playing VL against a better team!

I suppose, this is making us burn more energy to ensure our profit margins aren't cut due to reduced attendance.

You don't *have* to think but it helps. For example, and please don't take this the wrong way, but you are terrible at managing finances. Yet, you still make money - for now, while you are winning. I'd hate a game if it was robotic and didn't require any management/planning.

You can always play on VL/L... just make sure you'll win.

TERRIBLE??? I make tons of money. I am still the 75th richest team. Plus last season I spent a fortune.
Why... because I pay a penalty for having too many players? Have you seen my player sales.
My next step is to trash my youth academy and just buy young stars instead I can turn a 10M$ purchase in a 50M$ sale in 3-4 seasons.
Plus I had no reason losing those daarn games. Tierney is acting up again.

Point is, you could be making way more. And not just about the number of players you carry.

Way more? Teach me master.
