The increase seems to be pretty small - 1 to 2% of the salary. If you can't handle this for more than a few weeks, you have a problem that's quite bigger than the change in the staff system.As for whether wages increase weekly or not in reality, a real year doesn't have 16 weeks, either. Just imagine that when staff members conclude their contracts, they have a clause which includes periodical salary increases.
The increase in weekly wages will be substantially higher for what you call 'rich teams', since they will likely have more expensive staff.As for the bigger problems, you seem genuinely uninterested why your team is making enough money to pay the weekly bill. As long as you remain this way, I am afraid neither I, nor anyone else can help you.Money is not exactly difficult to make. Likewise, a gargantuan initial investment is not necessary: you can choose to train average players, 19 year olds, low-potential players, or any combination of the above. As long as you have a reasonable training program, it shouldn't take more than 2 seasons to build up some cash.
it is simple, rich teams now can place a bid if they want. Others cann't.
it is simple, rich teams now can place a bid if they want. Others cann't.This is not the case.Maybe smaller teams may not be able to splash out for the shiniest staff out there, but that pretty much mirrors real life.
The 300k isn't the problem, the weekly salaries will be... Start out with a lvl 1 trainer and train FT our stamina! You will save 20k/week and still be able to upgrade your players. And in 5 weeks you will have saved 100k which will buy you a lvl5 trainer easily...
4) To answer another question that has been raised on here, staff salaries do not go up indefinitely, as it would make no sense for a level 2 staff member to eventually be making $100k/week. So if you really ignore your staff, you'll end up overpaying by a decent factor, but if you're willing to pay higher prices, you can keep a staff member forever and opt out of the system in that way, too.
