It costs a minimum of 2500 a day for a lvl 20 player, and their entire starting roster is level 19-23, except one guy. (i know they boosted, but 95% of them started the season at lvl 17-20). And now their team bank is at 1.5 Million. How can they afford all these players and still have so much money? Something is fishy


You're accusing a guy, who brought in a whole team of lvl 20s to an expansion league just so he could win a title, of cheating?...A guy who gutted all of those players off another team to get them here...

I don't know that just doesn't seem likely. Doryano just seems like he has too much moral character to cheat

Oh wait...

My team is mostly high level players and i paid out over 600K in trades etc and Ihave over 1.5 million in the bank. Am I cheating also? you will have to wait for the playoffs to see if my players have boosted yet or not.

lol i'm not accusing anyone of cheating per say, because I'm not sure how you would even do that (unless you were embezzling money away from another team you have). But I'd like to know how to do it because I can make my team alot better if I can figure out how to get lvl 20 players and still get 1.5 million in my bank.

In which case i would have to ask you, Robbnva, how did you come to do this as well?

Probably good money management. Don't forget that teams that win non stop like them attract rich fans who bring in the money. I wouldn't doubt it.

yea, i can understand that i guess, but I just dont understand how they started off with 25+ players level 18-20. There's just no way you can afford that with 300K

who had 300K? we were all given 500K to start out with, you are allowed to go into the red before the season starts. You also didn't raise your ticket prices up because they are set at $42 & 95, where I set my ticket prices at $65 & $160 to begin with and then raised regular seats to $75 until they sold out. Also my concessions are set to max prices.

I wish i was in control of our stadium but I'm not, we should raise our ticket prices though. 300K or 500K, you shoudln't be able to even come close to affording that many high level players either way. a lvl 20 player minimum is 100K a year. Tell me how you afford 25 of those by the end of the year, plus probably 10 other players at 50-80K a year? Thats over 3 million a year. And they still have 1.5 million in their bank? The numbers don't add up

here are mine that I wrote up like a week ago.

5,957,893.00 total revenue (this includes money I made from trading players away, jacked up ticket prices and concession sales)

-4,155,923 Total Expenses (this included the loan I paid back, money I paid for trades, equipment bonuses I paid out in the season, etc)

1,801,970 left in the bank.

So i counted their entire roster salary, and unless i missed someone their total roster salaries come to 3,172,360. Add the 1.5 mill the have in the bank and thats 4,272,360. So they make roughly a million dollars more than you in ticket sales, and their regular seats are the same as yours and their club seats are 50$ less.

I'm not saying their cheating, but whatever their doing I want to know so I can build a team like that and still have that much money

I only have 8830 regular seats, they have 10,000

i only have 600 club seats and they have 950.

they only gave 1% discount on season ticket sales so their ticket sales alone earned them over 6 million. now take out the money they paid to build the seats, it makes sense.

Tell your owner to check out this thread so he knows what to do in the offseason.

Robbnva has been around long enough and is smart enough to do his finances successfully. Doryano...not so much. That is the guy you need to be hounding.

thanks joe, Aaron is just stuck on a team with an owner who didn't have help. I screwed uo myself by not building a section first and then pay for my trades. When I realized it it was to late so my only option was add as many seats as I can.

if things work out the way I want them to and Impalas can somehow lose just 1 game, we are the #2 seed because it should be a 3 way tie and it goes down to points scored. We currently have the lead with that and we face cupcake teams for the rest of the season.(with the exception of Ethiopia) 2 home playoffs, maybe a 3rd if Nightmare gets upset and we don't get upset, could net us a 3rd one. All that money is going to my stadium.

yeah, well our problem is that our Owner's dad has been in the hospital this whole season so he's been busy with that and hasn't had anytime to really come in and help out, so I've pretty much been left with the team. (except for a few things like stadium and cuts). I'm hoping by next season he'll be back and we'll be ready to roll for a better season.
