Fair enough (thanks for the added info, btw).

In favor.

More so in the deeper rosters aspect, for sure.

As you mentioned, if it has a smaller but positive impact in the game, that can be furthered by other changes, sounds good. Makes it more balanced and versatile, while more difficult to dominate easily (all good).

In my opinion, the difference between higher salary and lower salary is too much. For example, 200k is 4 times greater than 50k. The former is 30k bonus, but the latter is only 7.5k bonus. It is too little.
How about using this kind of formula:
Let x be the salary of their top salary player.
Bonus = a*x^b+c, where 0 < b < 1 ?

For example, Bonus = 67*x^0.5
67*200k^0.5 = 29963
67*50k^0.5 = 14982

Higher salaries and latest requirement for extended roster generate wide team with average players.
The superstars with high salary that went through huge training investments worth nothing these days. Bonus that motivate keeping such players specifically is critical.
Using your formula i would put b = 2 to properly address that.

If you're simply asking us, would we like more revenue then yes.

Thanks,

Yes, you should bring more money into the game in order to balance out the increased median salaries and restore value in training.

Yes, you should do part of it via merchandising. The current idea seems legit but the percentage needs to be higher imho. Around 20-25% at least. You could think about binding it to the next paid player if the aim is to have superstars dispersed more evenly. The higher the difference - the bigger the bonus.

And yes - you probably should bring a bit more money into the game via the TV contract as well. But definitely you should also increase the salary floors (%) in all divisions. This will achieve two goals at the same time:

1) Will make tanking much less efficient. Competitive teams won't feel it at all.
2) Will virtually give a bit more money to teams in lower divisions (the salary floor is a percentage of TV money - the higher the league level, the bigger the %)

BBB: 2 (S37 S38); Top tier: 7 (S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S41 S63); Cup: 9 (S25 S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S40 S41 S61)

If it helps, it could even have a fixed % over the average of top 2/3 players, as needed I suppose.

I think this is part of the "other" possible changes/means of extra revenue.
Not sure if the "team consolidation" won't do something there already, at least at the lower divisions.
Sounds promissing though I'm sure it's something that has to be tinkered with carefully in order to keep things "balanced", especially with such diversity between countries.
