I thought I'd arrange a few friendlies to make money after being KO'd from Europe.

It says I will earn £375K for this particular frindly (no fee payable as it was part of a transfer deal). I checked my financies before and after the game and have earnt less than £100K.

It's the same with subsequent friendlies. Is this a bug?

I usually earn more than what it says.For me, if it says 40k earnings, It'll be around 40-50k gates, +5-10k misc (burgers, etc....)

I understand the quoted gate receipts for future friendlies are estimates, but I wouldn't have thought it would be that big of a difference.

I think that the revenue from friendlies is possibly a little too easy to exploit.

My key example for this was having Hyde United in the BSN, with no youth or reserve competition fixtures. I set up a string of friendlies for them against teams such as Athletico Madrid C, Barcelona B, Real Madrid C, etc...

i was very surprised to see that each game's attendance was a sell-out and my youth and reserve team gate receipts were about 80-100k per game. :eek:

Now I admit that if my Hyde United team had been fortunate enough to get a sell-out against say the Barcelona first team, then a sell-out crowd would be highly expected, but for my youth team, against another youth team?

I openly admit that I've taken advantage of this exploit/cheat to boost the finances of lower league clubs on occasion, as it's hard to resist not doing it - expecially when your board is a bunch of tight-fisted old gits who only let you have 5% of all transfer renevue!!

Maybe it's something that needs a little tweek if it's possible. :thup:
