I personally think an easy option, which also may help the transfer market, would be to change the player salaries.

Let's say keep the skill 40 player at roughly 90000, but lower the exponential factor from 1.19 per skill to e.g. 1.15. This means a skill 20 player would go up to 7000 and a skill 50 down to 365000.

Higher salaries for the youngsters shouldn't be a problem and new starters can currently easily make 50 mio profit per season, so nearly no effect. But highly trained players will get more valued and perhaps also transferable.

The only income beside the league would be different, like transfer and expenses on scouts, coaches and so on.

This has to be calculated very carefully to have it fair for all but open enough to find 'your' personal style and not 32 cookie cutter teams of the same setup.


So do you mean the with a salary cap we would also change the current economy? And without wanting to sound like a total arse, sorry, but isn't sharing money the same as not granting it at all?

Not working here. Do not compare the bunch of managers in an RZA league with the NFL. The NFL never changes. Money invested today can easily give you something back in 5 or 10 years. In RZA this is not true due relegation/promotion. There is no way making 32 managers doing one thing to reach a group goal. If you don't believe in this sentence, check the mediacenter across leagues below Elite.

how about eliminating the severance pay for canceling contracts & firing coaches.

Never ever. This the disadvantage of the HR. Use it, or skip it. If you use it, deal with ups and downs.

Also once a teams season ends - (no more official games) end the weekly payrolls.

OK, and get rid of the roster immediately, as the NFL does by locking the doors?

Once a season begins no longer have free agents available. Only team affiliated players for sale..

OK, and killing the option to fire a players, and renew all contracts in the HR automatically before rollover?

Overall Peter is right, a manager should prepare, not react.

All I'm saying is, that the tools to react are quite limited now.


From my experience and the questions I receive about "how to solve my finances" in the support PMs: It is not about limited tools, it is about managers not liking to ditch their rosters and coaches once there is no cash anymore. Mainly with 40k stadiums as well, and no scheduled Friday friendlies. Not limited tools, but limited managing skills.

imo, the impact of playoff success on the finances is too big, so you cannot predict your income very accurately


You cannot? The income is know, expenses are known, length of season is known.

Only thing missing is an autopilot, I guess

Sure, but if you lose a manager because of that frustration this causes, maybe a little softer exit would be OK.


If I go down this road, I will lose other managers. There is no way to please them all. Lesson learned from more than 10 years running this game.

@all: And why Buddy did leave due frustration? Did he tell this? Or did he just call it a day, and enjoys life now without RZA? There are managers more addicted, some less addicted. That is ok, totally!

A Salary cap could eliminate the bankrupcy ghost by adding a longterm value into it.

Bases Salary = all income of league / 32 (minus some security or so)
(and don't forget the coaches also).

Since the income should also be spread (hence income of league / 32) the numbers be much more accurate to cover the costs and income.

What about the stadium and income ?
Any stadium in Elite league should be bigger than some stadiums in League 1 (a noob team that has juste been promoted from L2 to L1 as one example).

Then if get relegated the stadium just spontaneously combusts back to the league max?

Please, don't make everything so noob-friendly. If someone overspends, then let them pay for it. 'championship window' is a fine concept, and apart from the Patriots, teams operate with it in mind.

The only thing I'd really like is that veterans would be easier to trade (or be possible at all).

Hence we need a TM fix. Make veterans sell-able again.

No "free agents" after beginning of season. Only team affiliated players after start.

and Greatly reduce the cost of cancelling contracts.

In the real world the elite veteran players are sought after and have no problems getting a job. Here at RZA it's to the point that we have to cut some of them in order to survive..
