So I've reached the end of year 1 with my ML team (using the crappy players). Finished 14th, and I probably would've been dead last, were it not for me relenting and turning difficulty down to Pro.
That's all well and good… I've had bad seasons before. What DOES concern me, on the other hand, is the way club finances are addressed.
I probably don't have to tell any of you that money no longer accumulates after home games. You get your budget in one chunk, at the beginning of the year. Which is problematic when the "owner" decides to give you LESS money than can even meet the payroll. And I was NOT wasteful in year 1. I called up Shimizu and Palmieri, and made one signing, for roughly 400K, which put my team payroll at around $1.5 million. I anticipated my year 2 budget would be AT LEAST the same $2 million budget as year 1, despite my poor finish.
So, essentially, my choices are to cut my 3 best players, or start over.
:realmad:
I'm not even complaining about the low budget amount. I'm complaining because there's apparently no way to see it coming. How am I supposed to make personnel decisions without revenue info? How can the mythical "owner" possibly give me LESS than my payroll?
Am I missing something, or is this poor design?
