And it shouldn't be done.

It is up to the managers to see that too expensive players will ruin their economy. Economics mechanics in BB are displayed well enough that even a starting manager could set up a team accordingly. This is the very basics of management games : expenses must be lower than incomes. Besides that, you cannot forbid a team to sign a very strong player just before the play-offs and grab a worthwhile advantage at a 1 M cost. Not a thing I'd do, but I respect teams who do.

This basic rule is even ignored by senior managers, so no wonder that someone investing in the right players, giving proper training and being able to properly manage playing minutes will be ahead of teams with a much greater wages expense.

But it still is a problem...
Because it does not help small comunities as ours!
The Belgian community is small as it is and things like that don't really help the cause!
I see enough 'monster' wage players taking up more wage per week than al the other players on the team combined... And I think the main reason is an easy principal! Back when I started playing, Point guards were the most expensive players on the TL, just because there weren't as many good PG's as for example centers... Now, there is an abundance at each position... Which just makes it harder for managers to get a decent price for their players! Basic ecnomic rule: A high offer means low prices... That's why good SF's are still the most expensive players in BB today, there aren't that many great SF's on the transferlist... This is why managers can still put up high prices, but when players at other positions get posted, others can easily compare them to other players at an other price!
I agree with most of you, that nothing can be done to avoid all these problems... But it really doens't work in the favor of the game because a lot of new managers immediatly get in financial problems and quit the game!
