The game manual isn't very explicit on this one. I can't find if the effect would continue the following season. I would assume it does, but would like to know for sure.

lets imagine the scenario where you cant go up or down after 2/3 of season and you want to tank final 1/3 to earn some money to compete better next season.you get punished even for that?now that madness in my opinion...

The whole concept is beyond stupid imo. Of course it will only affect a handful of managers, but the threat itself is a very bad situation to put sb in.

Definitely won't raise the excitement for the people affected.

So based on the table in the Game Manual the people running this game feel any amount of cash reserves over $500K (since this is the level where the reduction in ticket sales kicks in) is too much and indicates a team is hording too much money.

Nevermind the fact that this is a long-term management simulation game and saving up a large cash reserve while building a competitive team that you then spend on making a run for the top is just common sense.

Turning the game into a short-term, season-to-season thing essentially turns it into the equivalent of a one year fantasy sports league. That's not why most users play games like this.
