Anyone else has noticed that in recent years changes to the game are made predominantly to discourage certain behaviors and punish players, and not to reward players for good performances?
You are taxed heavily if you spend more than you earn, a tax was introduced in case you have too much money in the bank, if you lose too many games the fans boycott your home games, if you buy a player his gameshape is automatically lowered, etc. etc.
While some (or all) of these changes may be good individually, there is very little done in terms of rewarding players for good behavior or successful performance. There are no bonuses in case you achieve something, promotion money is a joke, attendance income is nothing compared to market prices, it is getting harder and harder to save cash, training means losing money, etc.
Ultimately, you are imposed with a countless number of restrictions and little freedom to make your own choices. The lack of any incentives makes the game incredibly streamlined. You either follow the preset path and earn little in terms of finances and fame or suffer heavy penalties.
Cheers!
i have been training my own players, and i can guarantee -training doesn't lose money ,if done correctly, of course long term training isnt as rewarding ( max profit is gained when you train 3-4 seasons, after that the player value doesnt increase so significantly)
