I was curious so I checked it out... he spent $401,300 on the guy. Not a huge amount necessarily but...

Anyway, that wasn't what I found interesting... the Bacon Ballers have been in the league (V.51) for 7 seasons (not counting this one) with 6 being full and he's never advanced. He has spent about $300k more than he has sold players for so he isn't getting money that way (he did once sell a guy for over 800k). His arena is small and never comes close to selling out (typically under 4600k in attendance). However, if he hasn't spent money on coaches then maybe he is okay in the money factor.

Don't want to just talk about the guy, but 7 seasons?

(misstated his attendance originally so edited it)

... and not to obsess, but since I'm a numbers and stats guy... His player salaries total $79,884 which is quite a bit higher than me (under 50k) and the league average which is about 66k. However, if he doesn't pay for any scouting or coaches than he may still be making descent money despite low attendance (His stadium is about 1k larger than mine so considering the number of seasons he has been here he hasn't spent much on his stadium either).

Overall, without knowing anything more specific than what your allowed to see... my guess is that he is probably fine with his money (and if he has actually made money each season, could be stockpiling cash for a future run).

You're probably right..he could still manage them a little better though.

I probably have the worst income right now...at -$1000 and my player salaries are 90k. still have a decent amount of cash so it's no biggie. by next season I want to have at least 1.5 mil and sell a few players in the offseason.

Wow. Thanks Marv. That all makes me think that he really is just saving up until he can buy players for the next division. Either that... Or what if he's using it as a second team to get good players and sell them from? (O_O) Probably not, but the conspiracy theorist in me has to wonder haha.

And Jordan, at one point I was -$300,000. Right now I'm -$32,000 and only making $11,000 a week. So I bet you're not all that bad off. And I'm probably going to sell a few players soon too. As much as I love my two bigs (Frolian Mier and Andrey Boltenko) I paid way more money than I should have for them, especially as they get older and older.

Yeah you're 2 bigs are pretty good...don't know how I'm going to stop them our next game. My attendance is poor and player salaries is what killing me.

In case anyone doesn't know already the scouting list is out. Just a heads up.

Sounds to me Bacon is playing for the now and not trying to develop a strong team through the draft or cheap young talent. New York Yankees style. I don't think that style will work in BB though because you can not compete in the higher leagues without a large stadium to provide the finances necessary for a 4 through 1 league.

Hoi, I have a spread sheet my stats major brother made which analyzes what I need to train each week based on players age, potential and posistion. I have one player I train every week no matter what and only like three others based on what I am training that week. It has made my training more effeciant but I have Centers playing PG which is why I was so surprised I had so many players in the All-Star game.

But tonight's game between myself and Dr. Trans shoud be interesting. BUT it isn't playoff time and honestly, training is still a priority this week even though I'm playing a beast. After this week I should win most of my remaining games I feel.

Tonights game was not a surprise to me. We were at your house and I did TIE this game because my goal is to hit the playoffs with a very high enthusiasm level. You were doubling my score for a while until the 4th where I made a slight come back and I only lost by 15. Good game, see you in the playoffs sir :-)

been pretty impressed with the way my training has been going so far. Lot of my players are seeing minutes...and probably even more now..since I'm down to 8 players after another injury tonight. Just what I needed.

I was watching the game and talking to Mad Marv while it was going on haha. My SF and PF dominated early and it opened up a huge lead for me. I remember at one point of time it was 24-48. And I played at a normal level for the first time since playing Leflore because I thought you'd be playing the same effort level, and it scared me a bit haha. But for real, good game man. Good luck in the playoffs as well

And Jordan, injuries blow. Luckily you have a team talented enough to take a hit. Hopefully they heal up before the playoffs though.
