External offers can be turned on and off but I think I recall reading that 200k for Forecast 5 may be hard coded unfortunately. Same goes for revenue from Promotion Officer. I'd love to see a list of what's possible and what's not.
I didn't think increasing the max rate above 50 was possible but it was!

"Some of the values within the game are hard coded so can't be changed. However I can control a lot. Recommended ticket prices, prize money, external offers (currently switched off) etc etc all affect the finances and I can control."

Missed this from Steve earlier in this thread.

based on what Steve can control, and the odd fix he has done for people when they have sacked the wrong player, bid for the wrong player etc I would love to see the really silly reductions in home following at the end of the season fixed. the idea that you can win the promotion to the premier league, have a home following of 80-100k (or more) and you start the new season with 50-65k home support is a nonsense, and hard to get back in the premier league.

League One - Liverpool FC - 559 Division one Champion hopefuls
The Vikings - 524 Prem Relegation battlers
Arkham Utd - 533 Div 2 Promotion hopefuls
League Two - Westeros FC 637 Premier League - season of consolidating!
- Hells Kitchen 640 Premier League - Constant Premier relegation battlers
- AHS - 589 Div 3 - Division one consolidating (bottlers)
League Three - The Genghis Tribe - 1243 - Premier league - Top 3 hopefuls - trophy winners?
- Alexandria FC - 1264 - Division 1 title winners elect
- Inter Starcourt - 1258 - Division 1 best of the rest?

Too many issues raised here for me to answer properly right now so they will need to wait until the weekend

Okay let me try and provide some answers...

Q: How did you get the game, Steve? Did you have it written or buy it from someone?

A: I designed the game myself and then went through three different programmers to finally get it working. The current programme is very old but it's classed as 'stable software' in other words there isn't a lot that can go wrong that hasn't gone wrong already. I know it's retro these days but that's the selling point.

Q: I believe the original programmer disappeared off the radar a long time ago

A: yes his name was Andy and he quite literaly disappeared from one day to the next. No warning or contact.. it was literally as though he had been zapped from above. There are still parts of the software that look like a work in progress but mainly admin stuff like printing processes

Q: External l offers are switched off? Why?

Club news, this could do with being updated and changed been the same ones forever, twenty years in some cases.

A: external offers are used to input extra cash into a League system but recently I haven't thought it necessary

Club News scenarios last about a season and a half before they repeat. I am able and do have plans to add more, just haven't got around to it yet, sorry 🙁

Q: Forecast 5 has said get guessind for as many years as I can remember,

A: I can't find it in the code despite searching. This isn't modern code where you can just edit phrases so I think we will just have to live with it.

Q: I would love to see the really silly reductions in home following at the end of the season fixed.

A: this doesn't need fixing. If home followings were left untouched then there are clubs who could be charging £100 a ticket by now and still getting the max 80K crowd. Not all home followings go down, it is pretty balanced by those that go up.

Generally speaking if your club is charging outside the recommended admission prices then the more it will be affected at the end of season as you are seen to be ripping off your fans more than a club that is just charging the division default.

Cheers.... Steve
