I'm all for a salary cap to prevent these all star teams from forming but I dunno about a bank account cap, it's too restrictive.

I've thought about these ideas and honestly it seems hopeless. If a team has 30, 40+ million there would have to be such an obscene tax % it would create all kinds of other issues. The imbalance has been created and ignored, there's not really any easy solution at this point.

I don't love the idea of a cap, but its interesting. FWIW, im running close to 1m payroll and losing at most 100k per week. When you get to the 1.25m+ range it gets beyond the point that its feasible for most teams to even try to compete. That would be the range I'd consider a cap, maybe a soft cap with a hard 1.5m cap after that. Those just seem like good round numbers. If a good 800-1m range team, run reasonably fiscally sound operations, makes a run to the knockouts its feasible to consider adding a player for the stretch run, which happens a lot in real life.

well its up to the BB's to decide

But see thats the hard part just like KDB said "There is no easy solution to this" its gonna be hard to stop teams like that from running over people. Let me do what I do best , let me give an example of a situation. Lets just use my team for an example right quick,( this is just an example , nonthing real ) I have been playing since season 1 and so far I have a 35k arena and a 1.5m roster that I can actually sustain plus 40m saved up in my account from playing 23 seasons. Okay now here is where it gets kinda tricky, my team is also in a V league and I purposely lose my 1st cup game and win all my league games each season but again , purposely lose my league tournament so I can stay in V league and continue collecting money. Now , if BB notices this and puts a salary cap and a cap on my account money do I lose my 25m that Ive worked 7 whole years of my life to collect ? Do I have to change the ENTIRE way I've been playing this game and make up a whole new strategy? Please explain to me how they could solve a problem like that without destroying someones team. Sorry, not destroy but just .... get rid of all the money they have worked to compile.

35k is too big of an arena. 1.5 mil roster in D5 is just insane. Your better off doing that in D1 cause more revenue in merch arena and tv money but roster would stay 1.5 and staff could stay the same and don't invest in scouting so if any real team is doing that there 40mil will be gone in no time cause in D5 you will be losing more than 1 mil per week. But it would be like 1.4 mil a week. So that's 15.4 mil loss in a regular season. Make playoffs and lose finals that 19.6. So like no longer than 3 seasons your 40 mil is gone and your bankrupt. Arena is huge at 35k but attendance varies on division too and prices can't be too expensive in D5.

Restrictive was probably the wrong term to use. I meant intrusive. I just don't think that they should limit how much fairly earned amounts of money earned in the game, even if only a few users could reach the bank account cap. I don't think it's necessary, either.
I do think there should a a B3 salary cap to restore a competitive balance. It eliminates these allstar teams thatmake the competition boring/predictable. It makes the competion about the best manager/team, not the richest manager/most expensive team.
Salary cap for lower division is unneccesary as I think competion in those divisions are fine overall.
