I think the above would be a good addition to the warning, as that covers all bases. It isn't unreasonable for a manager to expect a home game in weeks 1 or 2 so falling foul of this without warning isn't really his fault, and its harsh for them to go punished as has happened....although of course they shouldn't really get into that position in the first place!

I don't understand what the problem is, let's take 2 fake teams as examples.

Team A: Saves $50M a season for 10 seasons = $500M of savings after 10 seasons. Then it spends $50M more than it earns per season for 10 seasons = $0.

Team B: Spends exactly what it earns every season for 20 seasons = $0.

I see both as perfectly valid strategies in this game, no?

It makes no sense to make such comparisons, since I need ONE solution to fit both "extremes"...And no, the team creating 500 million in 1 season AND then does not spend it for something is not what I had in mind when I created the game. Therefore for me it is no viable tactic to play the game.

I never talked about a team making $500M in 1 season, I said 10 seasons which is 2.5 years in real life versus 3 months, so it's very different to me.

Anyway, if you do not like teams accumulating a lot of cash (even over a long period of time) then simply cap bank accounts. In many games you can't have more than $X period.

I guess you could call it a 100% tax but I'd prefer calling it a hard limit. If you decide that nobody can reach $1B anymore any dollar earned past $999,999,999 would just not go anywhere.

Let the riots start in 2 minutes

Dear RZA Managers: we won't allow you having more than 250 million on your bankrolls, starting with the first gameday of season 25.

3, 2, 1...

I'd prefer getting a longer warning, say by season 30 but I would perfectly understand it if you decided to implement such a change.

Or maybe do it incrementally:
No more than $1B from season 25
No more than $900M from season 26
etc...

I'd like to reach 200 million first, but am forecasted to loose between 15 and 30 million a year.
