Thanks. This must have been implemented to stop tanking. I assume you can offset this a little by lowering ticket prices, having a team below the salary floor, and the benefit of the 1st draft pick.
Good to know if I ever need to tank my main team. I don't think I'll ever bother tanking my Utopia team. I'd likely just stop paying for it rather than doing a 2-5 season reset.
I personally needed to take a break - I've been competing at the highest level for many seasons. It's quite stressful to spend 5-6 seasons knowing that you can't lose a single game. For example, any mistake in the Cup in the last 2 seasons would have meant that I would have needed to sell all team or go into bankruptcy...
Now I just want to help our NT and build up some other young prospects, so I don't mind tanking - I am making 300k per week. In the meanwhile, I am finishing my trainees in the 1st team and will try to make history and also win BBB there. This game is just sooooo fun.
