I don't know...seems kind of awkward.

I'd like to see some test games with MS/Mentor tbh, I thought of running one...but meh.


I like the original idea better myself tbh.


Honestly, so do I (assuming you meant your original idea with the team-owned bonuses and whatnot)

I think the morale change idea (intimidation) is a good one. Don't want to see it take over the thread, though.

Of course, I'll post a suggestion, check that forum in about 10 minutes

Really? You didn't see this coming when myself and hundreds of other agents were complaining about the financial system in season 3?

My solution has been the same the entire time too. Cap equipment pieces at $800k and all your cash farms go away, all teams are created equal on the equipment front, it makes for much less work for team owners and coordinators, it is extremely simple to do and you could be the hero instead of the goat.

I'm one of the biggest culprits of the cash teams, I have also one of the loudest voices about the problematic financial system and cash teams. You put it out there and force teams to do it. Do you really think we want to spend our days trying to figure out which players need to go to which teams just to get equipment?

Good points here heard loud and clear.

Let me ask you all this.

What exactly is the main objective for the finacial changes. What is it that you truly want to affect?


Give money a bigger purpose, restrict super mergers, get rid of cash farms.


To give money a bigger purpose, perhaps approching it from another angle might be more fun and useful. Give it a purpose on the players level. Create a use for it each player. Would give agents incentive to get a better salary based on necessity. Certainly plenty of creative posibilities for that.

Restrict super mergers? mmmm? That is a tough call. Kinda hurts groups of friends that enjoy playing together. Not sure what the answer is here. Would need to think about this more.

As far as cash farms, Just do away with cash trades. and again go back to creating a players necessity for his salary. Maybe not do away with the EQ fund, but like it is proposed limit each player to two sets of EQ. Not sure how that will effect AEQ, but I am sure it wouldn't be that hard to limit it to two sets of basic EQ and have a slot for AEQ, with only the AEQ being able to sell back. Also institute an income tax from ticket sales, and consessions every offseason from the previous season for every team.

All that was needed was free or cheaper eq. Not all this complication.

I don't really care who or when it was talked about. It's irrelevant. I care about fixing it now.

All you're doing by making EQ cheaper is making money pointless because it's so easy to come by. Might as well make the upgrades free, which is what we've done in both the ideas we've had. I'd like to have a system that makes money actually meaningful.

just do what you always do Bort.....the right thing.

i don't really care what the changes are. i'll adapt to whatever and have always somewhat agreed with everything.

just make it so teams that do the right things (team oriented) with atts,SAs, equipment, coaches and VAs will be successful.

Then $ should have just been removed from the game completely.

100% correct I actually suggested that once but it was quickly overlooked and buried. O_o

yep it served no purpose other than to make agents unhappy when they reached an upgrade level and the Owner decided their dot was not important enough for upgrades.

No just make the regular EQ free and superior Eq the one to pay for.
So easy a caveman can do it.
