Subject: Sponsorship Offers

Sponsors were a bust this season, Best offer was around 400k a week less than last season so I rejected them all and rolled the dice on automatic one.

Ended up being about 600k less per week on general sponsor and the media deal was pretty bad overall but still quite a bit more than last season. It could've been quite a bit better since the best offer I got was a 3* that was worth more than the one I ended up with.

It's not too bad since I'm up almost 3mil per week over last season, But it would've been nice to get some solid 4/5* offers. Aside from a low 5* on the first day I think everything else was 3* or less, Good luck all in the new season.

General Sponsorship:

Current Season:
5 Star | $127,506,064 contract | $7,969,129 per week | 5x bonus of $5,017,599 for being rank 4 or above

Total value = $127,506,064 + (5 x $5,017,599) = $152,594,059

Day 1 Offers:
| 3 Star (REJECTED)
| $151,764,208 contract | $9,485,263 per week
-----
Total value = $151,764,208

| 1 Star (REJECTED)
| $113,399,536 contract | $7,087,471 per week | bonus of $1,107,417 per game won
-----
Total value (assuming 36 games won) = $113,399,536 + (36 x $1,107,417) = $153,266,548

| 5 Star (ACCEPTED)
| $150,012,592 contract | $9,375,787 per week | 5x bonus of $5,903,274 for being rank 4 or above
-----
Total value = $150,012,592 + (5 x $5,903,274) = $179,528,962

| Thoughts:
| I prefer the structure of the 2nd type of deal due to the more regular income streams, but the last deal is too good to turn down.

The total value of my GS will increase almost $30 million (~18% increase) from what I had this season, so I definitely can't be unhappy.

Media Sponsorship:
----------------------
Current Season:
2 Star | $41,749,792 total | $2,609,362 per week

Day 1 Offer (ACCEPTED):
4 Star | $69,550,544 total | $4,346,909 per week

| Thoughts:
| I got stuck with a 2 star deal last year because my arena construction finished a few days late (I had to reject 2 or 3 offers prior to it finishing). I didn't make the same mistake with construction this year, and I got a nice upgrade on my MS.

While it's not a 5 star deal, I won't be picky here. A $28 million boost (a ~67% increase), which works out to almost $2 million more per week, is nothing to be upset about.

Skyboxes:

Current Season
Section A) 5 star | $3,465,568 total | $216,598 weekly
Section E) 2 star (automatic) | $1,767,808 total | $110,488 weekly

Day 1 Offer:
Section A) 5 star (ACCEPTED)
$3,930,544 total | $245,659 weekly

Section E) 1 star (REJECTED)
$3,421,376 total | $213,836 weekly

| Thoughts:
| Not too much drama here. It's day 1, so 5 star deals are pretty much "automatic accepts" and 1 star deals are pretty much "automatic rejects."

The Section A) deal didn't really see a huge change. Even though it increased by ~14% from last season, in dollar terms it's hardly a drop in the bucket. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing more offers for Section E). Judging by where the 1 star offer came in, I should see a nice bump up (at least in percentage terms) from the automatic deal that was inked in the middle of this season.

OK, so, I've been gone from the game awhile. I decided to select the general offer with a bonus for rank (I think I selected like rank 4 or something). This, presumably, works if I am ranked *higher than* 4, right?

Yes, and since you know the game REALLY well I'm presuming you'll be able to be rank 2 or 1 halfway through the season. Halfway through you'll be able to "renegotiate" your contract which consists of 2 one time offers to either change your ranking goal or a regular contract.

Tell me if I missed anything guys.

What the hell? I just saw the confirmation of the general sponsor, and it is not the one I selected. WTF?

Same for me. The sponsor on the general sponsor page matches the one I selected though.

Pretty sure it's your GS for this season and as soon as next season starts your new one will show up... hopefully.

Nope. It's the new one. I know because this one is like 10mill less per week, and 4 stars less.

Hmmm... sorry bro no idea.

5 star general 3 star media, both accepted just because each was way above current ones

In the news it says that league regrouping won't effect sponsorship offers, yet somehow I got offers that are significantly less than what I had last season. And I made P.O this season and had 20 more points.

I also did very well this season, and saw a slight decrease in sponsors.

Vlady goes on to explain that the penalty for losing a league level last season is just taking effect this season, so we have to live through that (I know, misleading, right?).

How bad are yours? My Media took over a 50% pay cut, even though it's only 1 star below my current one. My General offers are too far apart in stars to compare. I promoted from III to II last season, and this season I managed to stay in II (11th place) while only losing 40 OTR. It seems I'm in a stronger position and am being punished harshly.

Media 5 star compared to 4, and i will get 1 million less weekly.

General looks like will be 2 millions less weekly. Expected a little raise since my team improved.

i had a drop on the offers too. Sure, I was a couple of places down on the regular season standings, but I won the National Cup and got 3rd in the playoffs so it's still a little weird to me.
