i think the raising of ceiling floor this season is a step in the right direciton - but i also think that BBs are wary of making 'silver bullet' changes. gradual changes over the course of 3-4 seasons are much more manageable and easy for people to grasp and get used to. sudden changes would kill the game.

so i think over the next few seasons, the ceiling floor will rise again a little a bit again and again, so hopefully it does change.

transfer market is a funny one though, ive lost money on it, but overall, my draftee's have made me a stack of dosh. even if i take into account money spent on draft points. and ive kept draft picks (still got 3 at the moment actually, one is 28 this season).... but overall, ive learnt so much about the transfer market, that if i started again, i would definately be able to run at a profit, easily, without having to 'day-trade' as such.... just knowing the best times to buy/sell and the players to not buy.....

but still.. making $2m on the transfer market, over say 5-6 seasons.... is nothing when at the moment you could tank and make say $150k-$200k a week.

Agree with the comment about sudden changes. All the more reason why the BBs should communicate and let us know what's going to happen. Even just a simple "in two seasons we will be making 'x' change as we feel it will correct 'y' problem" would be good...

ahhhhhhhhh but thats the clincher isnt it?
If you knew that in 2 seasons that the ceiling floor was going to be $100k more than what it is now, EVERYONE would tank for the next two seasons, in order to seize the opportunity that will no longer exist.
by not communicating, it actually keeps everyone on their toes.

i know what u mean though, by them communicating we would at least know whether they are thinking about long term solutions or not and we wouldnt have to debate on whether they know what they are doing or not.

good luck for everyones game today peoples. looking at the schedule, this could define quite a few teams seasons.

I don't think it would significantly increase tanking if everyone knew the salary floor was increasing. I'm not just talking about the salary floor though, it applies to any major changes to do with how the game is played. They should be communicated so managers have an opportunity to prepare for them, etc.

Good luck to everyone today (except SGS :p)

Good luck to you and everyone else too.
I do agree it is right to make changes at the beginning of the season without announcing them earlier, personally I think it would be better to make it even less attractive to tank as those who tank make it less interesting for everyone else.

Gees even with a cup victory, Im leaking 50K a week.

Cant afford to lose 50K a week forever and worse I guess it'll be a 100k a week loss, when I get bumped out of the cup

how terrible for you!
pity ur not 1-3 ... then id really feel sorry for u!

interesting round of games that round. some teams could have been 3-1 but are now 2-2. Others could have been 2-2 but are now 1-3.
.......or 0-4 :)
some teams spent enthusiasm getting to those spots as well, so it will be interesting to see how the next 4 games go.
