It looks to me it's good to tank in a small country and not tank in a big country. Seems a bit unfair.

Like this update. Removes some of the incentive of tanking so move in the right direction.

Thanks!!!!

But I don't think it's likely to be a good financial decision in the end compared to competing in the NBBA, cup and potentially B3 for another season.

This is definitely possible. For what it's worth, my plan (and I think im pretty close to 100% with Damena on this) was driven by wanting to rebuild, focus on training and take a break from all the planning it takes to compete. Knowing I'd rake in a bunch of money in the initial 2 seasons was enough to take the big step of tearing down what took years to build. If financial incentive wasn't there it would have been much harder to pull the trigger on this plan.

Thank you for your care of tanking avoid.

you can check my last season.
I have payed about 50'000 player salaries approximately whole season but you see I could win more strongest teams than me only by tactics and strong line-ups! I wanted to be 7th in table for better drafting so I tried to loose my games against weakest teams intentionally by putting just 3 players and "take it easy"!

If I can win by one third of my opponent salary why I cannot save my money?

what if someone wants to pay his money for trainer, PR and medical staff and put 6 trainees in his team and save some money?

I think this PSF cannot avoid tanking as strong as arena income! If it's really about tanking easily can cut a huge amount of arena income of those team which are lo0sing constantly by tanking.
for a tanking team something about $80-150k is not anything, because can earn about $500-600k weekly via arena!

for example I lost my arena income to get better draft (I could be 3rd or 4th) it cannot called tanking, but I know someone in div I who take 7th place that had maximum arena income and minimum salary and finally got nice draft! what about it?


Finally, go0d result is that we may have a more dynamic league and bads are that (1) maybe it's harder for new users to improve their teams and (2) harder to reach those "monsters" of previous rules (make more space between new ones and old ones) and (3) makes game more on salaries and less on tactics

I like this change, its a positive move in the right direction.

Its a good first step to limiting the huge gains that can be made by tanking and isn't drastic enough to kill those who are currently using this strategy. I'd rather them start with the floor too low than too high! Now teams know there is going to be a floor and can adjust accordingly.

Good move!

I don't yet understand this "Player Salaries Floor" What happen if you are over it?
