Looks a bit too low.
The Salary Floor for my league is about 10% of my player salaries now.

Well I just promoted, and the PSF for me is 65% of my salaries.
I'm sure some teams can promote with less salaries than I did, so I don't think it's as cut and dry as you say.
Yes it's low, but you can't force promoting teams to buy players, either.

While I don't think the current floor is high enough to break the tanking strategy it's a good first step. Still think it would have made more sense to hit attendance harder when teams are losing every game by 75+

how many teams were sooooo successful by tanking? i think it was not a high percent. now it will be lower. but it's still an option. i think it's ok.

Depends what your definition of successful is, but I made about 7m last season tanking while doing some great training of young players that wouldn't have been possible while competing.

Ok so this year you will promote back. Then what? All your players will be 2 years older?

i do not see how you can't train players while not competing. you have scrimmages, you know?

Even better, I sold all my players almost 2 seasons ago. With the deflating economy what I got for them then is likely more then it would cost to buy back a similar player now. Not only did I make 7m, but the buying power of that money increased.

edit - this goes both ways though, in the rare chance the market starts to inflate its possible that this could be a losing strategy. There's no indication, even with changes the last couple offseasons that indicate a rebound to prices from 3+ seasons ago.

Depends on the team, but I usually didn't have but a few scrimmages per season due to the cup. Three games a week makes is difficult to train young players, particularly if you want to do any out-of-position cross training.

So you basically celebrating others can't follow that path and won't get the advantage you already have? Classy.
