I know this is beginning to sound like a gramaphone record but can we please have a more meaningful Economical Forecast in terms of player wages?
In order to try to realign my finances I gave all players contracts which will expire this coming season (49). My issue before was that the player wage forecast was just based on those whose contracts expired in that season and thus my wage bill was approximately half of what it was in the current season. (I had previously set 50% contracts to expire in alternating seasons). Therefore my future forecast balance was way overblown. As I pointed out this is silly. Even if we were to let all those players leave we would need to replace them and unless we are going to rebuild our team every season we are going to have to pay them decent salaries. Now this season the Economical Forecast is assuming that ALL of my players wil be let go and I will have NO replacements as my wage forecast for next season is ZERO. Therefore my forecast balance is Millions$$$$$ - which is totally unrealistic. Could not the players wage forecast be a percentage increase on this year's? I don't see the problem with doing so as the forecast is only a projection of what MAY happen. Therefore the final balance is not set in stone. I would sooner see a future wage projection of say 10/15/20% than to see Zero. Even if we all renew players contracts at the beginning of the season this would cause a problem since we may not know at this stage whom we wish to keep. However, even if we work that out and decide to not renew contracts for, say 5 or 6 players, the current method of showing future wages would still be inaccurate as it would assume those players will not be replaced (unless we can find any to work for $zero for a season) |

Another suggestion is to display on the Forecast the sum of all the expected values of the expiring contracts.
Or you can do it like me and make a spreadsheet with all salaries and expected values of the expiring contracts. I have also a column for the probable negotiated values so I can have an idea of how much I will spend on next season with their wages. Last edited on 2022-09-19 14:36:56 by linkleo911 |

The problem is that how does the Economic Forecast know how much you're going to train up your players? It can create the opposite problem where a manager will say the Forecast said wages would only be (for example) 2.5 mill per training, but after spending all season training the hell out of two skills, now the actual wages are (for example) 5 mill per training.
Not in disagreement that it would be nice to do something to make the economic forecast meaningful. As it is, I never look at it. |

Check it out, but this is my last word on it.

Thanks for taking a look. I was hoping to generate some discussion of ideas. I know this is difficult because we don't know how much teams will train their players but I think we can safely make an assumption that their wages will rise. So a 10% factor is better than nothing and people will have the original table by which to make comparison.
