What I don't understand is why, suddenly on 10 of october all team deserve to receive everyday 1% of bonus? (I use the word "deserve" because you used it... even if I am not sure to deserve anything!)

What's the point that make you think somethinh like "wow we need to bring money in the game! What can we do? we wil give 1% of the sponsor for the first connection every day?"

And when you take loan out, you must lose on that deal near as whole season GS offer of a newbie.
I'm taking new loans the minute I pay for previous one.

How the hell are you spending $4.7M per day?

It's a tradeoff. The benefit of the bonus is more people will login daily (i'd be shocked if this did not increase). The extra money is easily countered by those people eventually spending it on the market, etc.

Because you're pro manager, you deserve a better bonus than free user? Great...

Ok, we all understood that this operation is purely marketing, only served to give a boost to Tennis Duel. No problem we can all understand that. But why associate this with money PPM?
Developers can very well implement this pub players and impose ppm when connecting without financial compensation. Because only the financial part which is unfair. It only exacerbate inequalities between small and large teams. The pro pack is the same price as you play in L1 or L3 not?. To see the same thing and do the same thing, why would a manager receives more than another?. This is where the problem is not in the ad itself.

Deserve? No, not necessarily.

But if not for Pro managers, there would not BE a PPM game for the free managers to play!

So you'll forgive me if I feel that PPM SHOULD give back to the Pro managers.

I recall the purpose of the pro pack, which is not expected to bring more about the game, apart from comfort and even less financial benefits.

"even less financial benefits"?

Pro pack is supposed to add features without adding extra benefit, at least that's what I believe it's supposed to be according to PPM.

But personally I would like to see Pro users get some kind of real value benefit for helping pay the bills.

Should Pro users get a slight benefit, even if financial? Yes, i believe they should. Not a huge advantage, but adding a true benefit like that would be 2-fold.

First, it would make pro pack truly worth the value we pay for it, which, i believe is MORE than many other games charge.

Secondly, it would give a real incentive for free members to upgrade to the pro pack.

But that's just my opinion.

yes for sure ... in 100 %
Just not easy for me to speak in english.
I speak about pro or no pro for tell they are no differents in the two case, not always easy to translate my mind in english

I understand what you tell but I think the percentage that isn't a good idea in the sense, it's an advantage for the more rich in the game.

For me, it's good, i have one of the biggest sponsors in my country.
I don't tell this for me, I know many managers disapointed with this.
I try to go in the place of the other managers that feeling this, like an injustice to have less bonus than antoher.
A little Fix Sum will be more undertand like this percentage
I'm sorry for my very bad english, i hope that you understand the idea

Yes, you considere it's really irrelevant for you, ok
But for a manager who start the game, or one of league 3 or 4, the different between the sum represent very huge for this team.(the real sum not, 1% for you can represent 4, 5 X and more for other team).

Because you have more money... you can win more than another with this bonus ?

But you can't compare a manager who just started the game with one who's been around for a while. Just like you can't compare a team in Division 3 with at team in division 1.

More successful teams will almost always have biggest budgets. That's the way it is in most sport leagues around the world, and PPM have tried to make this as much a simulation as it is a "game".

"Should Pro users get a slight benefit, even if financial? Yes, i believe they should"
"it would give a real incentive for free members to upgrade to the pro pack"

whaou, we have opposite opinion

For me, pack pro should stay a confort, not give any advantage.
All managers should have the same conditions of game.
For now pack pro is a GREAT confort but you can make all that pro made with many times.
If real dollars give advantage, i don't like the game.

But it's ok, you have your opinion,i totally don't agree with LOL but i respect this and this just my opinion too (and some others i know )

Sorry but what about my case (not an isolated one): I play PPM for 5 seasons now, I always had the Pro Pack.
It's very difficult to catch older club, even if they don't have the pack anymore (assuming they had one). With this "bonus", I receive less money than them 'cause I'm in league III and I don't play at the top of my league.
This bonus doesn't give back financial support for pro pack manager, it gives support to older and richer manager.
It's painful to see this gap up a little more increase with this bonus...

Yes, but as PPM have said numerous times, you should not be trying to compete with teams in higher leagues "right now". Do you think WHL teams worry because they're not as good as AHL or NHL teams? Of course not.

Right now, the only league you should be trying to compete with is League III. Once you do that and promote up, then worry about the higher league. That's the biggest problem i feel, is people comparing their teams fincials to teams in far better leagues.

Think of PPM divisions like an IIHF type hierachy system and you soon realise that the gap between Div 1 and Div 3 is not meant to be close.
