10 seasons (about 3 real life years) ago I had just reached D.I and had ~$25M in the bank, I spent it poorly and didn't achieve my goals. I have a pittance in the bank now and no skin in this particular economics game.

But I feel bad for those who also followed the rules and are suddenly finding $25M becoming $15M with minimal notice after their years of preparation. That's not the type of game community I want to live in.


prepare B3 project needs 4 years IRL: 12 seasons of trainings, 4 of competition.

in my case I got the money competing, not tankning, main part of the 12 season with minimum salary, I reach the Heaven final with a balance of almost +200K weekly, this is the way of making real money, tanking it is only for 3 seasons when it is not possible to compete and train youngs.

there are a lot of people who spent years plannig and now their projects are destroyed.

It is a very long term game, do not change rules suddenly, respect the people.

move from 25 to 15 in 4 season (2.5 M/season) and project are safe, people happy.
15 M it is not a bad idea itself, just give time to adapt.

bye

Hello Marin,
Changes that make the game better are always welcome. However, changes that completely disregard the participants and overnight render years of hard work and strategy utterly useless certainly do not improve the game, nor do they cultivate a healthy environment.Furthermore, a decision that simultaneously weakens the 3-2 zone defense and inflates the salaries of shot-blockers simply defies sound logic. As a result, teams built around shot-blockers are penalised twice over. A third consequence arising from this decision is an inevitable drop in the market value of these shot-blockers.Decisions made in such an autocratic manner, backed by populist justifications, will not have my support—regardless of the extent to which they affect me.
Best regards

Man, we finna get real one day. Ain't gonna happen. If only the people running this game understood what it takes to do those things right, this would be a better game.

They are not only destroying years of planning, based on competing under the rules that have been established. It is very difficult to compete in B3 without running at a loss, even more so now with the increase in the salaries of defensive monsters, who were the players that helped teams avoid having an entire starting five with exorbitant salaries. Therefore, you need cash reserves to cover those salaries and compete at that level.

But there will be another problem as well. Even today, high-salary players are being sold at bargain prices, and they can only really be maintained by teams with B3 ambitions or farm teams, which, in my opinion, are much more harmful than a team with a long-term project. As a result, these players will be worth even less in the future.

Besides, there is another issue—another collateral damage. Teams ending a cycle or running out of cash must sell players at the end of the season, and due to the senseless one-season rule, they will profit much more from transactions and be ready to rebuild in a single season.

A lot of teams will see how years of real-life savings and playing with minimum salaries are wasted, while other teams will take advantage of this senseless one-season rule and save years of real-life effort.

As everyone says, it could have been a nice change to the game, but the way it has been implemented is not. IMHO, it will mark a clear before and after in the game
