Does anybody else feel like more credits would be purchased if the lowest dollar amount wasn't $20.

that or another one would be if you purchase credits you would be able to join one league a day without spending credits until your balance dropped below 5 again...I wonder how many players buy credits and then don't join another league because they don't want to spend cash on it when players who don't spend cash can join 1 every day.....

I like the credit system a lot (it's great for both paying and free players, props to JDB) but Mawxy and TAFIV are spot on.

it would be nice if when you get the 5 credits when the game renews it and you spend those 5 credits or even your complaint about it that if you spent or used those credits by a certain time frame you actually had like the game give you another 5 credits or something along those lines because really it would be benefitaical for this game to do that because it might make people spend more credits than they normally would.

I'm sure it's a good idea but I have no idea what you just said punisher.

I think he's saying if you have over 5 credits you should get 5 credits a day just to use to join/renew leagues.....think it would be easier to just do an if/then strand to do it though
not going to put down actual programming language as it has been too long since i've done any, but it would be something like this:

program running
each day at credit refresh (already does a check)
if credits <5 / then credits =5
if credits >5 / then activate "join league free"
if credits purchased today / then activate "join league free"
----- sub-process if joined league today / then deactivate "join league free"

joining a league
1st check - if "join league free" is active / then become owner, deactivate "join league free"
2nd check - if credits >4 / then become owner, -5 credits

"join league free" would be a notation in the credits portion of the account

That's an interesting idea, TAFIV, I may consider that in a future release.

I'm also tossing around the idea of buying credits a-la-carte - i.e. you want to move your team, instead of buying a $20 credit package you can choose to pay $2 to do it. You could still buy credits in bulk which would always be cheaper (a-la-carte would most likely be $1 per credit which is more than any of the packages) but it would give you the ability to make a smaller investment.

that would be nice too JDB, would help with people that don't have that much cash to use or people that want to just play in 1 league only so they don't want to buy the $20 in credits to just make changes to 1 team.

I think even if you add in the ala-carte though, that there should be some way for people who have purchased credits to join leagues (1 per day) for free. Since they may have purchased the package so they can run several custom teams
