Thanks. |

I have a follow up to this.
Will current buyers and users of baseballs DT have DT for soccer as well, using the same ID# ect for thier soccer teams as well as thier baseball teams? |

The ST is almost a DT in itself, just no auto-train  |

Yes, you keep your baseball ID into football as it stands and i highly doubt it will change. So those new 900 club dudes will have a 900 in football as well, 2 for 1  |

If you guys didn't know already, SBFB will not be free! When it officially comes out, it will cost MONEY!
But I can't wait for the beta test hopefully next season!!  |

In reality we will have a bunch of baseball players that wear shorts and headbands out on the field.  |

Is there evidence of this, not that i doubt you i just want an idea of the price. Probably the same kinda price as a DT? |

Commish was asked in a chat room and said there would be a cost involved. He hadn't decided what or how it would be, though. _________________ "I can resist anything except temptation" - Oscar Wilde |

Commish posted it himself in the beginner forum at the old Real site. In the topic about beginners wanting to know about football. I believe his exact words were

I myself will only pay so much for a hobby. DT and a few tickets is enough for me. I would probably get football as long as its one single price and no monthly stuff, IF they make footballs trainer versatile from the beginning.  |

| commish must be money hungry. I would go for the same idea as baseball and carry through the idea of tickets like holiday and quick train as they would be similiar to baseball but not the stadium or lefty tickets. Plus imagine the profit with a DT if the same amount of people bought it as they did with baseball |

I know that you weren't talking to me and thus I shouldn't reply to you , but do you really think that they're making profits? I'm betting that smallball is way in debt and is really just trying to break even if not just survive. The revenue flow isn't continuous but their bills are. I'm sure they have to pay for offices, servers, programmers, designers, etc. People have to realize that they aren't just charging for nothing. I'm betting this game is more expensive to run than people think. _________________ "I can resist anything except temptation" - Oscar Wilde |

| yeah i know but there must be better ways of make money for example charge nothing to make say 3 or 5 football teams but charge extra per new team or raise the prize of Baseball DT to $25 at first then to $30 if that doesn't work. They could make more ticket pack both wih either less or more tickets to suit all budgets and they could make it so people must register id's from scratch in football starting from say 10,000 then later on charge money for all id's below that (even though they wouldn't sell the lot they would sell a few) and also sell some TP tickets but make a rule on the amount used on each team like a limit of 5. |
