I personally have no problem at all with the suggestion. I only voted "No" because X was undefined.

I also never buy anything that doesn't have a price on it. I don't even bother to ask. I just go to another store. Its not the cost. Its the principle.

The tax is only on the profit above $X, not the bankroll. So if the team with $2B in the bank makes a profit smaller than $X it will not be affected. On the other hand if a 2nd year team makes a $100M profit in the season it will have to pay a tax.


Ok i understand now, Pete doesn't want to scary out the old managers and that's ok. But a tax on ANY PROFIT you made when you have more the 500M in cash shouldn't be to scary.


To play (Once more) with numbers...

Only if a team is here for longer than X seasons, and only if the bank account has more than Y million :

Pay 10 or 15 % on the amount that you call your profit (aka gains). If you had expenses of 30 million, and income of 50 million, the profit is 20 million, and 10% are 2 million. We would take away 2 million, while the other 18 million go to your bank account...and add to your multi million bank account...


This can be added even without warning... it will remove same money from the game and that's all .... but this will not stop anyone to create a huge bank account....

Pete do what you got to do.
Taxing profit will remove some money out of the game.

But need to tax spending to remove money form the game.

I'm not sure about all these proposals, but I think one issue is that winning creates a lot of profits.

If you s e l e c t the right sponsorship package and consistently win games and do well in the SC (and perhaps the CofC), you can make a lot more money than the other teams in your league. So winning creates it own advantage.

At least at the Elite level, I don't think the offset of the draft position isn't that great, so the winning teams tend to get better and the losing teams struggle to compete with them.

If I don't misunderstand you're trying to say the draftpicks should make more of a difference.

No...that's not really it.

I guess what I'm saying, is that if you're trying to achieve more parity, the cash from winning is working against that. I don't know, maybe that's needed for better 1.1 teams to eventually become viable Elite League teams. However, at the Elite level, it's just making those on the top richer. :-)

Well 1 way to change that is to make those 5 experience players more expensive to have - way more expensive than 3 exp...

Would those who want EXP to be taken into consideration in salary also want SPE & STR to be taken into account? Why?

I understand the argument that EXP makes players better but so do speed and strength so I guess you'd be in favor of having to pay for these too? What about TW?

Why are you trying to twist this? Speed and strength gets you a job opportunity.

In real life - sports and many business experience has a higher price tag. Gets a bigger check.

Nothing wrong with high exp having an impact on the contract. It's the way it really is.

In real life a stronger or faster player will also get paid more, no?
