Lousy team plays teenage's salary like this:

1st season 5k
2nd season 10k
3rd season 20k

Top team plays the same player's salary like this:

4th season 40k
5th season 70k
6th season 120k

In those 3 seasons, lousy team has a new guy that is paying 5-7x less than top team and can maintain low payroll and shoot for 5th place every season until they build an areana big enough for their league and save enough money to buy 2-3 superstars who'd join his trainees, now good enough to compete with the top team. So from the moment new team enters the top league until it can compete with top team, 6-8 seasons can go by. For some that's a lot, for some it's normal. But I don't understand those who think this process should take no more than 2-3 seasons which is not realistic at all. On other hand, the same people want the game to be realistic as much as possible. Luckily those are in minority, but it seems like this is majority because they are so loud on forums. Those people will never be satisfied, so their "problems" must be taken with a grain of salt.

What has salary got to do with value of the player?

JS 12, JR 12
OD 14, HA 13
DR 13, PA 11
IS 2, ID 7
RB 2, SB 1

This was my trainee at end of his 20s. If he had HoF potential, wouldn't you pay 3M for him? I know I would.

DIfferent fans have different priorities but I ahve never ever ever in my entire life heard a fan say 'I'm not goign tonight because they lost their last game'.

In Argentina it applyes. there are chants that say "you sell out only when you win at home" and there are some clubs that are pointed as "bitter" (amargos) for being so irregular when their team doesn't win two games in a row...

If you keep loosing a lot of games your income suffers more than with loss away and win at home. Bigger winning streak nets you more income.
You want the last game not to matter. I think that's just plain wrong. Like I said in your suggestion thread it's all about the ability to evaluate the schedule. You know when the prices change. Evaluate those games that have the same ticket pricing, then set your prices depending on games you win before your home game. This is called maximizing arena income. If you don't like the income flucktuation. You can set prices that bring full house, weather you win or lose. This way you get guaranteed income (although smaller) and can always count on it. Really evaluating 7-8 games is not something undoable, like you are suggesting here.

Sorry, I train locals only

You are not even having a conversation here. It matters not one minute what the points or facts are. YOu will pull a fish out of your...hat if you ahve to.

I'm done speaking with you about this.
