Then prove it wrong. Built out side shooting team and win B3.
What's happening at the B3 level has no effect whatsoever on your inability to compete effectively with an outside team in IV, though of course it's a convenient scapegoat. At this point I'm pretty happy having built an outside team that can make the playoffs in II, though I've added more salary this season because it felt kind of wrong to have a 150k/week profit and still have a winning record but not be able to put up a serious promotion challenge.
If your blind to the fact I got my pg in the draft 10 season ago at 2200 salary and 10 season later 6k Week.. Show me what I win with that?
No, that's precisely the point - that's not training a player. Training is something you do deliberately with a goal of either making money from selling the player, or making the player better to help you move up the league structure. While you've got these couple of guys who are essentially useless to you to show for your "training" I have six players who I picked up as 18 year olds who have salaries of 18k, 22k, 27k, 35k, 37k and 46k, all of whom play very significant minutes in my outside offense in a very competitive II league (* - edit: this season the 18k may not play many more minutes since he's now my 11th man, so he'll be mostly in the Cup and in for certain matchups only). Two of the guys are being further trained this season as well. After ten seasons of training, if all you have to show for it is a couple of guys going from scrimmage fodder to borderline bench players for IV, you're not training effectively, period.
I'm sure you don't want get into that because again, ill send you to your stop with all your bags.. But on topic this taxing is petty. If they are going punish sellers punish them directly not every single person on the game. That where my beef is.
If I'm over the cap then let me manage that. They are neglecting skills in price to have to run certain tactics. If you think it cost cheap to run Iso shooting , then have a good day in debt
They're not punishing sellers. What they are doing is saying that if you're running a team that is spending more than it makes, there's going to be a penalty for that behavior. They want to encourage people to build basketball teams, not bank accounts, so if you're training a player up from scratch into a good player, that's what they want to reward - while someone who goes out and buys up finished players isn't going to get that same cushion. The simple solution to the problem is don't overspend, and build a team that can win within whatever revenue you can generate - but, of course, that's something that is a test of managerial skill and so your mileage may vary.
