What do you want to spend your money on? People wanted more stuff to spend money on, what's wrong with popcorn night? It's a pretty realistic example of sports promotions. Free crap at the ballpark has been going on for centuries.

It would be cool it the promotions increased your ticket selling potential.

It seems like this system encourages burning through cash, although I wonder if it it balanced with revenue enough to not end up with everybody buried in cash in a few seasons. I guess it depends on the salary thresholds for the morale bonuses.

Exactly. At this point we have no way to project a budget yet because we don't know how those salary scales are going to break down.

ITT: Poster after poster just takes it as a given that folks who signed up for a football sim were, in truth, far more interested in a financial sim.

Your point is moot, there will be less work involved with finances in the new system than there is now. And you're crazy if you don't think a whole bunch of agents wanted something else to do with their money.

Much of the new systems come out of player suggestions and the big survey. They aren't just imagining that people want this stuff.

What percentage of the paying client base signed up because they specifically wanted an opportunity to manage fake money?

I just posted my response in my PF so I didn't get banned.

Larry, there are some who like it--the sort who play Madden dynasty mode and just sim through the seasons--because they enjoy the idea of being a GM. There doesn't have to be many--just one for each team to be a CFO.

I was more worried before when we had stadiums deteriorating. Now the stadium remains the same and we won't have to worry about EQ costs and EQ fund. Mostly it will be deciding on a team strategy: do you want to invest money in salaries (rising going over cap and the penalty); do you want to invest in morale boosters and which ones give the best bang for the buck?

IMPORTANT NOTE - in order to implement these changes and have teams start out on a level playing field, teams will all be reset to a standard team cash amount depending on what league you are in. If your current team cash is in excess of this amount the amount that it is over will be put into a Overage Account. The Overage Account can be used as follows:

Can use 100% of value for stadium construction
Can use 50% of value for team promotions (items purchased will cost twice what they normally do)
Can use 20% of value for seasonal team possessions (items purchased will cost five times what they normally do)

Team Cash Reset Amounts

WL/Pro - $30,000,000
AAA - $25,000,000
AA/Uncapped - $20,000,000
Level 46 - $16,000,000
Level 42 - $14,000,000
Level 38 - $12,000,000
Level 34 - $10,000,000
Level 30 - $8,000,000
Level 26 - $6,000,000
Level 22 - $4,000,000
Level 18 - $2,000,000
Level 14 - $1,500,000
Level 4 - $1,500,000


This right here is bullshit.Your punishing teams that are run correctly.Why touch their profits?
Profit is profit.You profit off the game itself right?
Would you like it if the community was to take back its money and take your profit so all MMO's are on a level playing field?

O_o

This,,,,,,,,


You already promote teams before their ready to be moved to fill in the gaps of all the gut teams, assuring them additional loosing seasons.......Now lets Obama the financial system, because morons squandered their funds paying to high of salaries early in their teams histories........This may just get you a few more CPU teams to have in the upper tiers....great job guys.....I hear the IRS is hiring?

Those teams that do that should be punished not the owners doing it the right way.

I've had my Gravediggers since Season 8.Never demoted and always have paid for everyones EQ.
Now I can make a little profit and its going to be taken away.Same for my ILOF Allstars.
I did everything right yet the team is about to get robbed by getting a reset.
How about a full game reset if thats what we are doing.Refund everyone their flex and start over.
This is a whole new game now isn't it?
