Thank you for the quick reply!

I have sent 10 challenges, hope someone will accept.


If you challenge me next week, I'll accept. I made $157K playing at home last week, so that could really help. Generally, you want to look for teams that have ~10K-15K seats as those are hopefully all the VIP & Execs which will bring a higher income per friendly. Also, make sure you check the mentor list for people willing to help.



157k sounds awesome, I will definitely do that.

Thanks bro!

The training intensity is alright imo since I don't care about winning but about developing my players. The only downside is that it becomes rather risky as far as injuries are concerned. But I see what you mean so I'll lower it for now.



Fitness could come into play if/when you decide to sell your players. While people would still buy them, their earning power would be reduced with low fitness numbers.

I personally wouldn't even bid on someone under 85%, and even then they better be a great player.


I agree there. I have one player that has been on my team since I started pretty much and he hasn't even raised energy 20% in almost 2 full seasons of average training. Unfortunately, he has great stats and talent or else I would already have fired him. I've been waiting impatiently for the "rest week" update to be put in.

I've offered a couple people friendlies, so if I don't accept it may be because someone else challenged me first. But with your financial situation, I'll try and make sure I accept your challenge.

Atm I'm at -$317,362 with a home game this Sunday. Wages are killing me (77,511 per week), even though I only have 30 players..

I have this S, but I want to keep him because I'm only interested in training, not in game results..

Positioning 5 Tackling 10 Punting 2
Vision 4 Blocking 6 Speed 14
Intelligence 16 Passing 5 Strength 9
Footwork 5 Catching 5 Agility 2
Carrying 2 Kicking 1 Stamina 5

Will I be able to do keep from going bankrupt and still keep the S?



It is not too late! Try to spend more money for your stadium, fire all coaches if you have. Try to earn money within a two weeks cycle (1 home and 1 away game, 2 friendlies)

So if you have 80k wages you need to earn at least 160k within two weeks. should be possible with the two friendly games!

PS: you challenge only from time to time, you have to do each week. So each week one friendly will save your club from going bancrupt!




personally i think firing your coaches is complete crap. and how are you in soo much debt? i have 300K (of which 125,000 is coaches) in wages and a friendly clears that up also i get an extra 20K -40K from sponsors which you should also get.

I would stop killing your players in training. In about 4 weeks of no training their fitness will be back up to 60-70 and so you will have a chance of winning.

Anyway thats my opinion.

i don't understand why you are only interested in training and not match results. Surely match results are the only true measurement of training?

Match results are nothing in this game when you are in your first or second season. You are simply not competitive when it comes to the money. When you put all your strength into game wins you will not earn the money to be competitive in a long term.

IMO

Sponsors don't pay me anything, dunno why..

Now I realize that one of the problems is that I didn't expand my stadium and the other major one is that I wasn't playing friendlies.
