Well, you need around 6-7 million to finish your arena - that should be done as fast as possible and I doubt a newbie can do it in four seasons. I don't know about DIV IV and lower, but in DIV III the big arena was a big factor for me to catch up/overtake established teams.

If we only want to target tanking teams, there are other ways to hit them - and I don't see the difference between losing on purpose with a bit more expensive roster than it is to now.

In my situation a higher floor would only cost me 700k a week, effectively I would "only" make 2.8 million a season, while comfortly sitting on the second place in my division. With a bit more salary I'd be in the same place, not really a punishment though.

I think the economy has peaked and we don't need drastic countermeasures to deflate again. Maybe in a few seasons this could be a change worthwile to look at.

I built mine to 18,500 in my first 4 seasons. Spent 1.2 mill on trainees and a little under a million buying a couple lv5 trainees in the same time period. Currently making just short of $190000 a week in div 3. That's 60k short of how much I used to make with my old team tanking in div 2 before there was a salary floor. Way too much income in the game these days.

As for new teams and people fearing they would be affected by it. Well, I propose to give them a year of salary floor exoneration. If that's not enough to adapt, I don't know


There is no salary floor for the first 14 weeks currently ;)


Yes, and I propose to extend it.

Yeah I think it could easily be doubled without running into problems with people tanking. That's still only a two season head start.

I don't think salary floor should be increased for lower divisions. In these divisions being lower than the salary floor does not mean you are tanking. My team is currently at half the floor and second in the conference. Granted its mostly a bot filled division and the top teams are above the salary floor, but my main focus is training right now and as it stands, I'm already not making much money per week so raising the floor would just make it harder for teams like mine to promote.

Maybe, if they go ahead and raise the salary floor, they could include trainers salary to determine if a team is below the salary floor. This could help encourage training.

You're right on with the revenue, but I still don't make that much because my main focus is drafting and training, not promoting. I could focus on buying players and being competitive, but it wouldn't get me to promotion so I don't see much of a point in wasting money there. I prefer training because I see it as better long term strategy for sustained success. Here's my economy.

Player Salaries: $ 73 798 Attendance: $ 155 985
Staff Salaries: $ 104 413 Merchandise: $ 49 556
Scouting: $ 40 000 TV Contract: $ 73 798
Total: $ 218 211 Total: $ 279 339
Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 61 128

You might say I'm paying too much for staff, but I want a top level trainer so I can only afford those with higher salaries. Also, my trainees were getting injured early in the season and missing valuable time so I bought an exceptional doctor to prevent this from happening
