has anyone else noticed that every team in the league is projected to lose money this season?
My ticket price is down to $35 and I'm still getting killed...commish(s) do you think you could turn up the finance slider in the sim?

I have just turned finances up as high as it can go (only two knotches higher). I'm in the process of coming up with some different ways teams can earn money. Also, each team only started with 10 million, which admittedly wasn't enough, and I plan on bumping teams up more. It'll hopefully be fixed and balanced out soon

I think the problem is attendance. I don't think any team (save for maybe two at the max) has ever sold out a game, many of those teams above .500. I dont know how the simmer generates attendance but even Gary Bettman's numbers are better than this. Obviously lowering ticket prices helps but we have no supplemental income, ie: concessions, parking, revenue sharing, etc. I might suggest doing away with liquid cash and using the cap to regulate funds/spending.
Edit: adding a cap floor to the current cap system would be a good idea too.

Why not just get rid of the money factor? Just worry about the cap
The NHL doesn't really allow money in trades.
Now that teams got $50 mill, we will probably see teams trading $10 mill or something in a deal. But does it really mean anything? Are GMs fired if the team becomes in the negative?

steves right - ever since the the new CBA was signed after the lockout - money isn't allowed to be traded anymore. but that doesnt mean NHL teams dont have to worry about their finances either...

The way I see it, unless teams with low amounts of money are forced to a lower cap, then money doesnt really matter much. If I have $150 mill and your team has $20 mill, what does that really mean?
