It's unfair to put reset teams on the same playing field as new ones?

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

They are saying that while they are building their team and testing stuff, they should be able to build the stadium, keep the cash and suffer nothing from it while they drop down to levels where they will have an upperhand on everybody else.

Sounds pretty reasonable. Not.

I thought it was astounding that the % EQ thread made 1000 posts.

But this topic hitting 1500 blows my mind.

All i can see is teams going into the red in their very 1st season of ownership.
Thinking of the new owner perspective btw.
Should be a way that a team even with a half decent CFO can survive.

How does this effect teams in their first season? Teams doing it right have been doing okay for quite a bit of time.

Agreed, but it shouldn't involve dropping out of higher level leagues and bringing cash and completely finished stadium along. That's gaming the system. It was completely legal, but also completely foolish for anyone to pretend that they were performing financial miracles when the truth was that it was a cheap parlor trick.

Shouldn't teams do it right? Seriously, it's not that hard.

Catch (or bort)

Previous to this change a team had to exchange their team for a different team if demoting to cap 4. I am assuming this is no longer the case, and teams can demote to level 4 without the exchange. Is this the case?

Thanks.

I agree but remove the problem by removing the problem and not by tinkering with the original system.
Find and eliminate each case where an owner is abusing the system.

I volunteer to do it.I'm sure I could gather a team of agents to accomplish this task.
Anymore volunteers for it instead of the current fix?

With all the issue with EQ and money and not enough players/teams, etc...Why not make CPU players better to help fill teams?

Also:
Allow a team in there 1st season of ownership 1 full season's worth of EQ money to cover their players.
X amount for each player on the roster.This way the team can build the stadium in its 1st season without worring about EQ cash for players.

My team will more than likely be promoted to a 46 cap league next season from the 38 cap league we are in right now because we will be making the playoffs... However all my players will be level 42 or lower so I was gonna request that we only be promoted to a 42 cap league and I was wondering if we would suffer the demotion penalty for a 42 cap team if this request was honored?

Take my money, I dont give a shit, my issue isnt about the cash, but I have spent a wack load of revenue on a stadium and fielded competitive teams, don't punish me cause i used my money wisely and put it towards a stadium. All my agents EQ were taken care of as well. Take my money I could care less.

But a team that gets to the end of the road and decides to rebuild shouldn't have their stadium taken away, maybe the fan support should stay low until that team starts winning again. I can understand losing the cash to drop down, but removing the stadium, why build it in the first place then..

They should ensure that cash isn't the end all and be all. Use it towards something more fun and less competitive. How about a cash fee to demote, and being placed on a probationary period where if you demote you gain no cash from gates the first year of demotion, or like what was mentioned earlier, perhaps locking ticket sales for the 200/300 level until your team hits the appropriate skills level, equivalent to what a new team would hit.

Im not talking about me being at a disadvantage, Im just saying that it sucks for teams that have paid their dues. I have no issues playing in a higher cap with freshly created players and losing for a few seasons until they catch up to that level, but that is an option that current owners will not have. So starting with created players is not an option for me or other owners who I had recruited to do that with, thats all I am saying..
