Hi, I started this game midway through last season, and survived in the division (albeit a very weak league) because of number of bots.
I spent some money to expand my arena, and this season I added couple of players to try and reach the Salary Cap. But it is impossible. I was hoping in this financial update that I get few thousands to go and buy one more player and keep adding until I reach it. But instead I was docked 80k and now I'm -64k.
Did BB's think about the effect of this on new players? I honestly thinking that it is not worth my time to play this game because clearly old players are heavily favored and new players are heavily put in a disadvantage. I dont want to tank but at the same time the economy of this game makes it even harder.
I suggest BB's find a quick resolution to this problem. Now not that i lose an additional 65k every week, I cant even accumulate some money to buy players to break even!

bare in mind my salary expense is around 130k... the difference/loss is from the salary floor.

Still it is unfair... you do the math based on my income and possible income from a home game and the salary floor docking, how many weeks do i need to have enough money to buy enough players to reach the salary floor.
I still think this whole thing wasn't thought of completely. New managers should be given at least couple of seasons to catch up.

With a home game, you'll be over in no time. No problem here.

There is a huge problem there. How can a new player be put into a top division? As much sense as the salary floor makes, in this case it needs a fix.

Thats just ignorant. You cant put a small fish into a tank full of sharks - new teams in higher divisions need to be stronger.

If you start in div I, you will get stronger faster, than if you start in div II. He just wants hyperdrive. This is a game of patience.
