"They" like telling you there are almost an unlimited number of ways to play this game. Just not your way, with a $16,000 weekly profit.

The good thing is that although your way, even with a $16k weekly profit, has been made ineffective, there are guys who will tell you how to play it differently. You have some helpful tips in this thread, for example.

I do not have the numbers, but the %age are different depending on the staff level.

Staff salary increase = 0.75% + (0.25% * staff level)

Is this an estimate or an exact figure?

As an old player that have been away from BB for quite a few seasons, I find it crippling to have to focus on building my arena for a season or two. I could focus only on that, as experience tells me it pays off, but it takes away a lot of the fun. So I have taken the middle road, buying players at almost the same rate that I have built my stadium even though I have a lot of time until the salary floor hits me.

It is a bit confusing with the economy overview showing the income based upon the salary floor before it applies.

Since training is such a big part of the game, more staff should be available. Since the game is built kinda lika a study in economics, it clearly shows that as long as there are people/teams with a lot of money they run the game. Maybe it is time for a revolution. I know that if I spend a few years of my life I will get to the top level (at least in my country), but what happened to the fun part? I think BB needs some more goofy content available to more people. Like customisable jerseys (I will never stop insisting on this), customisable half time show, and such. And let the supporter options for easier search, more stats etc be an option for the serious players.

My concern is that for new players, especially in a micronation, such as my own, the gap from playing bot teams in div II, to playing top teams in div I is enormous. I remember the first time I played, when my nation had players in three divisions, I could play the promotion bonus and subsequently demote to get top draft picks until I got to a level where I could stay in division and have a run at promotion to the top league. That was fun. Now I feel like I don't stand any chance if(!) I promote, and playing bots gets boring after a while. I would actually propose merging the scandinavian leagues (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Island) to get some dynamics into these leagues. I also remember that I spent a lot of time following the market for other micronations, so I could train players that had a good chance at getting into the U21/NT. I'm getting off topic, so I will stop now.

The BB staff has been mostly stagnant on the micro-nation issue for a while now, but there have been some recent pushes to get something done on that front. Just so people don't freak out, it should be known that nothing will change without first receiving massive amounts of feedback from the BB community, and specifically the micro-nation communities.

A really good idea, proposed many times, is to allow second teams (for those that want to pay for them) in micro nations. I think this would really invigorate those nations and not harm the wider game. Oh wait, forget it, you invented a fake nation instead. Sorry.
