if you think making those kind of adjustments is the right thing, go ahead. but do not forget, taxes are for riches and it should hit the regular high income teams more than anyone else. i mean, you cant implement a tax system of this kind both because it would be meaningless equality wise and you have to put tax on all other things in the game.

i get that you don't see the whole picture here after this sarcastic suggestion anyway. it is clear you prefer a system, in which the champions are defined by injuries, promoting and relegating teams are almost always the same year by year.

nba is dealing with this problem with cap system, buzzerbeater should find its way sooner than later, before the gap is too big.

The salary cap system is trying to assure that all teams pay the same amount of wages, so that no one team can buy its way to a title.

This is solved quite easily in BB by the fact that all teams in the same league have the same income structure, and therefore should typically end up with the same amount of income.

I see the full picture quite fine, and the point of the "suggestion", sarcastic or otherwise, is to make _you_ see the whole picture: that drafting a 18-year old MVP with $5,000 salary is way more valuable in a lower division, since when all is said and done, when you sell it the income (relative to the team's weekly budget) is much higher.

the logic in your statement is lacking, if not totally absent. income structure would be meaningful if there was no transfer market present, or older teams were not able to invest in good players and have much more money to spend. and more importantly, as you said, it is same for teams in the same league. however, this is a game teams are promoting and relegating. i did not talk about an economic arrangement for the same league, the problem occurs because of the interaction between the teams in all divisions.

I don't see what all this has to do with the suggestion that teams in the top divisions should invest more money for the chance to draft the same type of player.

if a fair system would be present, it would have nothing to do with it. but you have to reduce the advantages they got by signing up for this game earlier than others. it is increasing the draft expenses or decreasing the total quality of the draftees for higher leagues. i know most of the online games works the same way, experienced players stay at the top till they are bored of it or try something new. but the rules can not change: rich always gets richer. i am not saying they should be penalized for what they are, just that they must be pushed to make better judgements to keep their ground. as the number of divisions are going deep, there is no way a team will be able to reach a top division without cheating in the future.

What is the use of reaching the top division if your team is deleted for cheating?

Yes, there is. It will take time and effort, and only the best of the lot will manage.

Remember, there are only 16 slots in the top division. Not everyone will be a top division team, that's just a fact of life.

well you prefer to focus on the sentences, not the whole idea.
