In my opinion the starting assets are quite okay.
If you are only referring to the money - this might be true for teams that start in lower divisions, if you start in DIV II or even higher its not enough. If we include the 18yo All-Star, that should/could become the franchise cornerstone, the starting assets are laughable, the guy I got in Utopia is worth 1k after one season of training. Does not make me enjoy the game particularily.
