I used to play Hattrick so I know what you're going on about. It's a big problem there, which is why I don't play it anymore.

For what it's worth, I think you have a great idea there and hope a BB sees this. It would be great to hear their take on this.

I don't have any hard data to the STH calculations and coding, so it's just assumptions I have to come up with. I've thought of a global fixed limit accross the board, maybe somewhere betweek 500k to 1M. This should take newer and lower ranked teams out of the equation.

Inside strategies being weaker because of their higher wage doesn't hold true because the same wages for inside players also apply to the defender. To counteract an inside strategy, you need to invest in inside players of your own. It swings both ways, and should be a non-issue.


but you could match up pretty good with a high difference in salary ;)

Higher skills means higher difference ins alary but lowre effect on the game, then skill differences in a low area - and especially centers and PF aren't very good in this category.

What you're speaking of is income, I am focused more on hoarding.

Relegated teams face attendance penalties which will affect their income, not their bank balance. As the top teams approach a negative deficit, teams that intend to challenge will need to do so as well. Hence when they relegate, it is because they choose not to compete and want to have a positive income instead. This is where money is accumulated.

It doesn't limit the range of different strategies avaiable, I've detailed this enough in the first two posts. It curtails the effect of being able to buy 'instant sucess' with money and promotes better tactical play among managers.

the same will happen with a salary cap, with the difference that teams will pay incredible sum for well rounded salary efficient players to max out the salary cap.

Ah, sure they will be able to bring in great players but at a reduced effect. You cannot utilize your money to buy the best players in BB in every position anymore. And you will still need to plan what kind of players and how your team plays within the restriction of the salary cap. You cannot demolish teams in ALL areas on the court.

Will you go for an insanely inside focused team or balance it out between all the players? 5 monster starters or strength in reserve?

Winning will actually take some planning and tactics instead of flashing the cash.

Or winning will be the fact of hca, and the investement in the rooster ;)


The same thing like today, with the difference that many teams, have to sell there trainees because they reach their cap.

HCA will help. After all, it's only natural that home court brings an advantage.

Investment in the roster is up in the air. As you cannot just bring in the biggest, most expensive player available. You take into account how much more you got before you hit the cap, and go for the best value. You will be challenged to take one road or the other, instead of solving it by throwing down a large sum of money for monster players.
