There is a big issue with commercial revenues of Spanish (especially top) clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona are earning way less, than they do in real life. Seems like your data is not updated for several years and this causes a huge disparity between the commercial revenus of e.g. English clubs and the Spanish giants which in long term is making Spanish clubs not competitive enough. Please see the following examples: Real life data commercial revenus of selected clubs (based on football money league from march 2022): Barca - 276.6M € Real - 310.5M € Manchester City - 308.2M € Manchester United - 262.2M € Sponsorship revenus of some chosen clubs in 1st season in game: Barca - 182,9M € (-93.7M €) Real - 193.8M € (-116.7M €) Manchester City - 333.3M € (+25.1M €) Manchester United - 286.1M € ( + 23.9M €) So as you can see Barc gest 93M less, than what they've got last year, Real shocking 116.7M, while English clubs are getting even more than they've got in real life. This is really CHANGING the long term balance of european club football, as even Barca and Real are losing they're best players to English clubs. There is an income type called "Total Commercial Income" which is widely used in db from what I've noticed in case of English and Italian clubs, but not as much in case of Spanish clubs (or the data is outdated, like e.g. in case of Real Madrid there is some income from 2015-16 season (sic!)). Please fix it, this is really ruining the game and have been the issue for several past editions and nothing have ever changed. Really dissapointed that it has to be brought like that, because one would thing that biggest clubs in the world like Real Madrid and Barcelona would be modelled quite accurately in the game when it comes to their revenues, but clearly this is not the case. If commercial revenue is interpred differentely in game, for example as the Sponsorship + Merchandising, then the values still don't match. Another issue is the fact, that in the 1st season Spanish clubs are getting ~1/3 of the La Liga tv money, for example Real Madrid gets 54M €, when every possible source states, that it was sth close to 150M €. Another 100M less than they should got... I'm attaching the screens from in-game salary tab and income section from the db editor of abovementioned clubs. The revenus of Real/Barca you can either find in they official financial reports or for example in the Deloitte Money League I've mentioned.
