Digging deeper into the numbers, I found this in the Mediacenter (about my own team):

Weekly: 2,500,000
Total: 22,500,000
45.0 %

Now, "weekly" probably means what is usually called a week in RZA (because I see that 2 and a half mil income both on wed and sun).
But we have 11 IRL weeks in RZA, equivalent of 22 RZA weeks. So why does it say 22,500,000, not - 45,000,000?

The 22.5 is the so far paid out amount of money. It should increase after every update.

Also, in the Forecast it says I can count on 5 to 20 mil per season from the mediacenter. I can't fit it in any way to the numbers above. I can, however, by assuming it's a 5 mil per 7 irl days times the number of weeks minus 50 mil pledge:
5 x 11 - 50 = 5 and 5 <= 5 <= 20

Is this indeed the right way of thinking about it? I.e., disregard "Total" pasted at the top (a leftover from old days? It seems significantly worse days, too ) and use the calculation a couple of lines above?
Or am I, as usual, misinterpreting? :-)

The forecast has only a brief estimate in it.
Since you did get the numbers above wrong, the numbers here are also a bit off.
Rougly you have 2 million+ per financal u p d a t e + 10 million bonus on 1st week, that equals roughly 48 million on all updates + 10 million bonus makes it 58 million income when pledged 50 million before 1st week update.
Which means 8 million plus.
With more in your league pledging, the more you get.

So the bottom line is - PLEDGE!
I can't lose by pledging, as long as I do it EARLY in the season.
Right? Thank you

In general this is not 100% true, since you only get a good return of invents, if enough DO pledge.
The numbers can be less, if too few do pledge.
The manual has the details.

BUT ... you are right, you can't lose from my point of view, if you pledge early and plenty, since 1 thing does sadly help also.
All BOT do pledge and therefore it's almost impossible that TOO FEW do pledge.
And all new teams do also pledge, by default.
And in that situation NOT to pledge is a waste of income.

I don't have all the money to pledge - can I pledge some and add later - so I receive the bonus? { before Wed Draft}

You can pledge as you like, and you will receive the bonus for all you pledged when the bonus was handed out to you

I would like to add a word of warning. At the near end of season 47 after already having donated 50m to the media center for most all that season I for some reason pushed the donate all 50m button again & it took it ! Since that season I've barely been able to keep my head above water with best player sell offs, shutting down all the facilities in an effort to remain somewhat competitive. I have gone under several times but managed to remain afloat but it has finally overwhelmed the team. I really don't want to lose the trophies or the credits but that's the way it goes.

So once you've donated the max DO NOT PUSH THE MAX BUTTON AGAIN.


Admins comment: The "claim" mad by the user the mediacenter would allow kind of pledging more than 50 million per season is wrong. After checking the users financial logbook we found the mediacenter working as expected.
