I understand this is a long-term game. It involves planning and can take actual years to see your plan come to fruition, but one thing that would help new players generate some cash, and build their team how they want, would be allowing us to sell our players we get from the tutorial.
So thinking specifically from the position of a new owner (which I feel this game needs to help it survive as long as possible):
I get the argument we are already earning a big chunk of money from the tutorial (however it does have less spending power than the days when it was first implemented), but the players we also get from the tutorial kind of forces our hand into building a certain way. If you get two frontcourt crowd favorites, then you almost have to train backcourt players. You *could* still train front court players but since you can't sell your crowd favorites, you'd be forced to eat their salaries (detrimental to early cash flow), or fire them (a 9k/week player can fetch 40-70k easy in current market) so you're essentially burning 40-70k by being forced into firing them.
I think removing that barrier would help new players stay in the game longer by giving them creative freedom to construct their roster according to their vision, which in turn, creates are more robust community. That's a good thing for all of us.
I appreciate any feedback and thanks for the time.
