Are we gonna edit teams lower then the -5 the game goes to? I think we should. If we already do, then never mind.

I agree we need to. Otherwise teams can spend foolishly and not care much (and some will anyway).

Could you clarify what do you mean by negative cash and "-5". Is this just simply losing money at the end of the year or is there more to it than that?

Simply losing money at the end of the year.
Say you have $0 in cash and you lose 20M on the season. When you flip to the next year, the game will put you at -5M...it won't put you any farther in than that. You can manually edit that to the -20M it should have been.

Its unfair to those teams that are financially sound.

Okay so what happened when it says I lost 18 M last year but that I now have 21 M in cash?

It would not affect you. You had 39M, lost 18, so you stand at 21M.
This would only affect those teams that would go past 5M in debt. That is the max amount of debt the game allows without editing.

Alright sounds good, signing Preston Wilson for 3 years 10 M isn't the best way to go about cutting salary...

Are we going to have any penalties for debt? 30 million in debt, loss of _____, 40 million in debt, loss of _____ etc?

That is correct.
That is something I am currently developing with Josh, and plan to implement into the rules once a fair amount is determined. Most likely what will happen is, Josh and I will come up with a few different options, and let the league vote on it.

This has been updated with this sim.
This really only affected the Cubs and Reds. Cubs are actually over $11M in debt after last season, and the Reds were over 8M in debt but was awarded 5M in revenue sharing by the game at the flip of the season, so he is now over 3M in debt.
Everyone else is OK.

Should we do away with the revenue sharing gig because it's totally random and only awards one team at a time?

btw i understand you can't change it per se' but you can remove the cash every season to whatever team gets it. I am considering this for the GABL

I had seasons in the APBL where it awarded up to 3 teams in a year, but it did seem totally random.
On the other hand, we did remove it there and did a manual revenue sharing process instead.

Ahh ok...well we are starting the luxury tax system next year... Although not sure if it'll work perfectly well...I had the league-high payroll of $119M last season, now it's $78M.
But then again, maybe that means it's working...who knows
