This is going to be very unpopular but I peronally think bot team draft picks should not go on the transfer market as it is clearly going to benifit teams with money(older teams) and is only going to help widen the gap.
im going to shoot some ideas and see what people people think. 1: stop bots selling draft picks all together 2: make bot teams choose last in draft picks so human players get the players they want and dont allow bots to sell draft players. 3:allow bots to sell but only like 1 or 2 draft picks a week so it gives the more dedicated players who frequently check the TM a chance of getting a player rather than it just being the richest players always getting them. 4: when it comes to FA draft picks, I think it would be fairer and help share the FA draft picks out, if you offer 1st year teams the opptunity to buy 1 draft player for say $10,000,000 2nd year teams can get a player for $25,000,000 and 3rd year teams can get a player for $50,000,000 and after the new teams have had there turn then everyone else can then have a free for all for what ever players are left. I picture it being set out like a draft board where by younger teams get the first dibs on players but you obviously need some money. I like idea 4 as I think it will help younger teams develop and catch up a little. And most importantly its a lot fairer as it isnt just about who has been in the game longest so there for has the most money to spend and futher increase there advantage. Im sayng this as a 3rd year manager so much of these suggestions wont help me, I just think it would be good for the competitiveness of the game and will help out newer managers and stop some of there moaning. |

Maybe we should just make a 20 rounds draft each year. That would solve a lot of problems.
Seriously: As far as I understood your suggestion, you think it is unfair to newer managers that BOTs release(!) their picks and they enter somewhere in the future the FA market, because older franchises do have more money and do buy everthing away what is available, right? There are several issues with money, no doubt, but it is wrong to assume only the older franchises do have the money to buy players. It might be, that quite new franchise don't have enough money to compete, at the moment, but once their stadium is build in full beauty, their money comes in fast and the costs don't rise as much. So managers in their first few seasons do have problems but after that they can compete the same way as everyone. Very old teams will get into financial trouble in the next few seasons and then they won't have the money to buy players. So the market will be changed then. |

On the test server I have at the moment an estimated players wage of over 42 mio a season in season 9. There is probably room to stretch a time frame for getting a hugh wage increase, but it will happen and then everyone has to deal with this. Might be season 8, 9 or 10 but ALL teams will have to deal with this. And even if your whole roster is managable with your regular income, the total amount of money you have for other spendings, like FA-aquisitions, will be much less then now, so how will those team spend 100 mio a season for a player? |

I am an older team and I probably can't afford to get any of the tm draft picks. I'm hoping that some burn cash out so I have a chance. As I've said in another thread I've never had more than 150 million at one time in my account.
One problem with new teams getting more draft picks will be they will have financial crunches earlier than they would now when those salaries sky rocket. If anything, I'd argue that essentially gifting them a draft pick (which at 10 million essentially is) you are hurting their long term prospects financially. Catching up? What is that supposed to mean? I ask because in Dragon's 1.1 we had at least 4 teams in the playoffs that are considerably younger than us "established, older" teams. Sure Panoramix, and older team won the whole thing, but he always does against all of us. You can be competitive within 3 seasons as is now. Trust me, in 3 seasons some new guy is going complain he needs to catch up to the people who are new now. Patience young grasshoppers. |

There is a plateau that everyone will reach, and no higher. It may take ~10 seasons to reach that plateau, but once you get there you'll be as good as anyone else. It's the same grind for every team. |

IMO the gap is closer than 10 seasons. I have seen close games between early joiners (September 11) and teams signed for their account in March or April 12. This means you can close a gap of 2 or 3 seasons just by "managing" your team and developing a tactic to beat the "big ones".
Again, IMO there is no need to change that part. |

I don't often agree with Sfniner (probably because he's usually just plain wrong about most things  ) ........ but he's more-or-less correct regarding this one.
The best thing to do is have a look at the "top 100 salaries" and then have a look at the "top 100 coach salaries". If you see a team in both of these then it basically means one thing .... they are spending a truck-load of cash per u p d a t e ! Then have a look at the "top 100 player transfers" ....... if a team is spending big on player salaries and coach salaries then they won't be appearing as a buyer in the Top 100 transfers .... not for much longer anyway. I just looked (again) at the Top 100 player salaries  ....... $7.6 Million per u p d a t e is Huge ...... to use a slightly biblical reference, I think 'the day of reckoning' might be closer than I originally thought.
p.s. - but don't stop spending crazy amounts on the TM, I like to see managers wasting their money .... especially if it's any of my players that they're bidding on |
