I must have lost 30-40 million average this season because of the wage changes. Just don't know if I can afford anything right now without risking bancruptcy.

My teams forecast for next season is for 10M profit, which obviously excludes fanshop and friendlies,


My wage bill is higher than yours and I show a 30mill profit. Why the difference?

Of the rest of you think carefully as even I see this as a two-edged sword gamble. If we can get closer to the 1 Billion figure the closer we are all for making 10M a season, however the other edge of the sword is having 50M available each season to put in the pot.


You're absolutely right - it just make sense if we got to this kind of 1 Billion figure maybe. Let's see how the responses are. At the moment I covered all responses via PM - will u p d a t e it today with commitments via Forums.

Update: At the moment there are responses from 10 Managers - average just slightly above the 25 Mio per manager.
With all the Bots leaving for newer managers with less money in their accounts I think it will be hardly manageable to get it done just for some slightly gain... But let's see after season rollover.

Personally I will pay my 50 Mio 2 weeks into the new season if there are enough commitments.

But if we don't get enough we pay 50 mill and get screwed right?

So not to diverge too much but is Thunder really less popular due to the inconvenient kick-off time?

If we don't reach at least 800 Mio than it is not recommended to pay in as this would result in negativ turnover

I think it's not only with us here in Thunder - some other 1.1. leagues face the same problem.
And as you see there are only around 10 responses after sending the PM yesterday morning so a lot of people are not really activ or not interested diving deeper into the game/communitiy. As I said several times, the biggest "issue" is the lack of competition in our 2.X leagues - it's just to easy to promote but then in 1.1. it's hard to stay competitive which is not funny at all.
If that's about the Kickoff time? I generally don't think so as I would assume 12:00 Server Time is quite good for all European guys e.g.
Don't know why Thunder is not sexy at all but if I'm right when you register the first time I think Thunder is listed the last due to alphabetical order? Maybe that's one of the reasons too? Don't know...
Forum wise I think we (and you especially) do a great job providing everybody with some additional info and attraction but actually that's maybe too late because I doubt somebody checks the forums before decinding about the region...

The furthest down the list actually makes the most sense I mean there is literally no inforrmation other than no of teams in the league if I'm not mistaken? Anyway, back to the MediaCenter.

We can test coming season so no risk right...free money is always something I'm up for

Lots of the 1.1 seem to be struggling with this. In truth it's actually making .2 with all the bots and new teams even more appealing to tank and drop to.

Personally I think the game would be better merging from eight to four to leagues each supplying 2 divisions to elite making 1.1 and the 2 tier much more competitive.

As for this new addition, clearly getting close to the max and adding 15-18 mill a year more per team is worthwhile, any league that consistently gets there is going to give their teams a nice boost over time.

Where's the free money? If we are not at 50% together you will loose money!

See this math from pete:
less than around 25% of the funding goal reached: around 70% payback
between around 25 und around 50% of the funding goal reached: around 90% payback
between around 50-75% of the funding goal reached: around 105% payback
more than around 75% of the funding goal reached: around 120 % payback
more than around 90% of the funding goal reached: around 130 % payback
100% of the funding goal reached: around 135 % payback


So actually to gain significant money we would need more than 75% (= more than 1 Billion [1.000.000.000]) to gain 120% from our paid money.

So no testing for me

I think there is some confusion for some people Bova,the testing is this season where you can contribute in a simulated version and see what they would get back per week. From season 26 rollover this is active in game.
