YES. Thank you guys! I have always been stumped by that one!

is the scoreboard worth building? I will have 1900 seats soon and wouldnt mind filling up more then 500 seats for lower standing teams

my goaltenders been injured all year so havent been winning much

Scoreboard for your team = waste of 10 million.

I have also been considering building a scoreboard, can you explain why it would be such a waste of money? Doesn't it have any impact in affluence?

1.) Your facilities are weak and they bring a lot more than an extra income from the scoreboard. Build training facilities, for example. Players train faster -> team improves -> you win more games -> more money from sponsors and more people attend your games.
2.) Your players are weak. If you invested into training grounds and then bought some good players, the same effect as in 1.) would occur.
3.) Extending your stadium also has an effect of increased number of spectators.
4.) Look at the best teams on PPM. In the top 10, only 3 actually have/are building a scoreboard, while all of them have a much larger stadium than yours and play in a higher leagues + their coefficients are much much higher. If they don't need to invest in a scoreboard, why would you?

Same advice to nightmare3020

Say getting the scoreboard vaults your attendance to 1900 for every league game. It takes 30 days to build, and then with 1900 fans showing up to every game, it will take 14 home games (I'm assuming approximately the friendly money will equal the daily expenses on the scoreboard) just to pay the scoreboard off. So you play 3 home games every 14 days, so that is 56 more days. So you would have to wait 86 days until you see profit from buying the scoreboard. If you have patience it will work out in the long run, but until then your 10 000 000 down for the next 86 days.

At least 86 days... probably 3 times that in reality.

Ya that would be the bare minimum, it probably would be at least twice that long, it all depends on how much it actually would increase his attendance.

Everyone keep saying: Save their C/L remember to wait blabla, before you pull your players. What's pulling a player? Remove them from the team? Selling them?

A 'pull' is when you click to view your staff/players. The 'pull' calculation is done whenever you click to view, so if you do it after year's end they won't be aged.

how do you bring your prospects into your lineups?
play him in friendlies for a season, and then play him for league games? or...

a "pull" is when you get them sent to you by the sports academy
at the end of the year the last "pull" is days away from the start of the season. If yoiu look during that season his age will go up with everyone elses (basically being 15 for only days)
if you dont look and wait the couple of days till its the next season hes only 15 instead of 16

That is a good strategy, especially for propack owners who can have secondary lines set automatically. I'll slowly switch out my lower lines, sometimes play four and sometimes three lines. Chemistry and experience is huge, and players don't gain much experience in friendlies.

Questions

i got a player full balance

60 def 60 off 30 everywhere else, it seems like he is a ghost if i make him play offense and put him defensemen on my powerplay. Every game i got more occasion againts me then for me on my powerplay. Does anybody have experience in this situation and how can i get the best from this guy?

from now my answer is that if he play offense he will be good on offense with my Penalty kiil but not on my powerplay has a defense because the program think he is not at the good position and make him play realy bad defensivly.
