I am quite sure with the amount of posts that have been made here that this subject has came up before but I am wondering why you get nothing for at least making the playoffs...Making the playoffs, period, is a big deal for most of my sorry teams...Heck, at least give 1/2 credits to the two playoff 1st round losers.....Strat-0 is making money hand over fist with this game......can't see where it would make that much difference.....I think people would be more likely to play if they had a little better chance to win credits....IMO it would make things more exciting and really bolster the game and increase signups...Just my 2 cents.

Uh- this thing barely breaks even as it is, LOL.

Yeah Right :!: :!: You figure 100.00 for each div and $300.00 for each league with someone occasionally using a free credit....No one can tell me they are not just killing em' in the black :shock:

They gross $225 per league..I doubt they're making money hand over fist. To be honest, I don't mind the format as it stands now. I think the CHAMP deserves 2 credits and runner-up deserves 1. Just my opionon.

Each team you buy requires payments to SOM as well. It's all not cash in the pocket of TSN. It's fine the way it is. $24.95 for 6 weeks of entertainment is pretty darn cheap compared to other habits.

Obviously someone doesn't understand how much things like servers and liscensing fees really cost..... :roll:

Besides the games don't develop themselves

1) strat fees
2) Developers
3) website/tech costs

Let's say $225 per league. To make it easy lets assume $125 in liscencing fees, web hosting, etc...

$100 per league. How many league do you need to run to get 5 people making $50,000 (including benefits).

$250,000/$100=2,500 leagues Do you think we have that many each year?

The reason the other games are so cheap is volume, they have 100,000+ play fantasy sports.
