No.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

I think with the introduction of the hit to GS during transfers next season, it'll make it a lot less attractive to buy short-term players for the playoffs/important games only. It should make asset management and longer-term thinking a bigger part in trying to employ that strategy.

This has been brought up before and it really is a good idea. The problem is that every division in every country would have to have a different salary cap, and that might be tough to implement. It also might make the playing field for B3 unfair if everybody doesn't have the same cap.

this wont work in the majority of countries. I my league salaries go from around 100k (newbies) to 400k (contender), how would you cap those teams?

Your logic is lost on me here. The entire idea of a salary cap is so that one team can't have 4 times the salary of another.

op said 2x, at least I understood it that way.

how you came up with 4x is unclear to me.

dude... Thats what she said:

there should be no reason one team can have roster 2X your team salary in any level of divisions


So my understanding, that means: if there are teams with 100k salary - there should not be 400k salary teams. Who should be capped then, and how do we do it?

This is a terrible idea. I agree that it would reward training multi-skilled guys, but in reality a team can effectively develop only 2 top level players in 6-7 seasons. Rest has to be bought, so the teams that played longer or were tanking right before new rule was implemented would have advantage because they would be the ones grabbing most salary-efficient players, or be able to afford luxury tax.

Getting GS affected by a transfer is a great idea and now just need to manipulate how much the effect should be and tweak with it after testing

maybe a team should only have 2-3 top level players like in the real world
thats why the nba doesn't have all nba 1st team on 1 squad
this makes the game less competitive

Firstly, there are too big differences between leagues to implement such a change. Even winner in D2 or D3 have less in payroll than median team in payroll in higher league. Once I made calculations based on top3 levels in Poland here are the results:
D1 average payroll = 702 007
D2 average payroll = 395 792
D3 average payroll = 217 467

Before play-offs:
- only 3 teams in D3 had higher payrolls than average payroll in D2 (max was 433 040)
- only 1 team in D2 had higher payroll than average payroll in D1 (it was 1 256 608 - he wanted to go quit the game, few weeks later he became a bot)

League winners will have no time to make any transfer before seasons starts, because they could exceed salary cap.

Secondly, system will need accurate salary calculations for new season.
