Same complain from my as every season. It is so UNFAIR to only get away matches. I lose 5-6 millions on each away match compared to if I was, for once, lucky enough to play at home. Everything that is unfair and only due to luck should be ADJUSTED! 19/04/2012 10:28

The team on the left always gets the home game on the sheet. So it's only luck if your team is on the far left (means all home) or far right (all away), apart from that, those in the middle get home and away games at a similar rate 19/04/2012 13:41

And I am apparently always to the far right. That is not "only" for me, that is 30 million in lost revenue. 19/04/2012 14:34

According to your calendar, you've played 5 matches in the Cup, 2 of them have been away, and three were at home, (one was a forefit by the other squad in the first round, so really more like 2).

So to revise your argument you should say: Why have half of my Striker Cup matches been at home? I'm greedy and want them to ALL be home matches.

EDIT: Also, it's not 30M in lost revenue, even if you didn't have any home matches. Striker Cup revenues are split, so at MOST you would have lost 15 million.

You are still getting revenue that you may not have been getting if you were knocked out 3 rounds ago. If half of your games have been at home, surely there is no problem??

I would have loved for half of my games to be away at the bigger stadiums so I had made more revenue for these but I just see it as a bit of extra income for a low division team (I'm division 5)

Ok, sure I have had two home matches (out of four) already but I also took into consideration that I am on the very right side of the cup-tree and will therefore play away for the three next matches, if not more.

Disregard from my team for a while and look at it as a general problem. The teams at the very right of the cup-tree VS teams at the very left. They have different conditions and it is all about luck. According to me, the decission which team that is to play at home should be decided of other criterias, for example the team with the biggest arena is set as home team, or the team from the higher division etc. Keep in mind that both teams will profit from that.

How do you know you're at the far right of the tree? You came in here complaining that you had no home matches, got proved wrong, and now you're crying about something else which may or may not be true.

You should consider the Striker Cup pure bonus money anyways. You could have easily gotten matched up in the 1st round with a team that was better than yours and knocked you out, meaning you would have ZERO cup money for the rest of the season. Are you going to make a post when you get knocked out of the cup about how it's unfair you have no cup revenue and the people in the cup do?

As it stands you're still in the cup, and as you move up in the rounds you will most likely start facing teams with bigger stadiums and you'll keep pulling in money close to what your stadium makes you, even when you're playing away games.

The worst player in your starting XI is better than probably 95% of teams best player, so you whining over something so trivial is stupid. You could easily sell one of your players for double the amount of money you're crying about.

NO1CURR about your insignificant problems.

First of all. You can look at the cup-tree by going Results -> Striker Cup. It shows clearly that I am at the very right.

Second, when we talk about revenues, it is all about the relative revenue, i.e compared to what your competitors earn. Not that I have looked through all the teams in my division but I am sure some of them have had only home matches. Compared to those teams, I have lost a bunch of money, and only because of something there is no way I can control. I suggest all major haphazards that can be easily changed, to be just changed. I have the right to whine about what I consider is unfair. I made the same post last season so I can be sure the developers will not listen to me, but it feels at least a little bit better for my dignity to lament.

I don't get your argument Half of your games have been at home, everyone can't have every game at home, away games aren't so bad I got more for being away today than I ever get at home

I have played same amount of home and away games as you in the cup, if you check out last season for me I played 10 cup matches and only 3 of them was at home

I did look at the cup tree, and guess what, you're not at the far right. You're not on the far left either, so that argument is bunk. Now, yes, if you look at the teams on the far right they get more home than away matches, and teams on the left get more away games than home, but the teams on the far right and left have gotten home and away games. I didn't find your team, but I'm guessing you're somewhere in the middle, since you've gotten even home and away games. thus far

Compared to the other teams you have probably lost very little money. I'm not bothered to go through your entire league and see how much they've made on the cup, but I'm guessing there isn't a huge disparity. Again, you could have gotten knocked out of the cup in the first round, meaning you would have zero income from the games you've played.

It's not as if you've been swindled out of millions because of this. At the absolute most you're probably all of $5 million behind other teams in your league, which at your level is like nothing. So just quit complaining about this non injustice you've been served with.

If you want to right every wrong in this game, how about you give back any players you've ever hostiled, because I'm sure their owners felt pretty wronged when that happened.
