Shouldn't merchandise $$$ be correlated with # of all stars
Kobe sells in his prime regardless of lakers record
I am sitting here with 3 all stars and leading scores
With below min merchandise money
It seems to be more correlated with how long you've had your players, and if they're domestic, and what their salary is, and how many minutes they've played. I know I've always had well above average merchandise but my roster is entirely American and seven of my ten man primary roster have been on the team nine or more seasons (with a couple of them being draftees).
My personal opinion is that the BB philosophy was set up to encourage more balance as opposed to the monoskill monsters that were the rage in Hattrick at the time (as Charles was quite active there before starting this up). Not only in the engine itself, but maybe merchandising as well - your stars will always sell a certain number of jerseys but the mid-tier and lower players might sell a nice amount too if your fans know and love them. Of course, my fans know and hate some of my players, like Menard, who looks like someone left a dead ferret atop a blanched turd, but I suppose they like to burn his jerseys and I, for one, won't turn down a sale for that!
