I'm fine with change, but I think it is total b.s. that they impose an immediate change that seems to put a premium on advanced scouting budget when they know that many of their best customers have low advanced scouting budgets AND they refuse to alter the 4 mil rule for budget increases. This makes it punitive, as if these owners are being unethical, or cheating in some way, or whatever. As I say, I'm quite alright with the challenge of new rules, but putting many of the people who have invested the most money into the game in a position where it will take them FOUR seasons to get their advanced scouting budget up to snuff? That is extremely poor customer service, or worse.
Isn't this kind of a moot point, since the change doesn't really make that big of a difference? Nobody who was at 0 adv before is really going to suffer now. In fact, I'd wager about 80% of us are going to stay at 0.
Anyway, even if adv were a lot more important now, the $4 limit has always been part of the game. $20 training is crucial, and it's always taken 3 seasons to get there. This is kind of the same concept. If you want to make a dramatic change in your budget, you have to pay your dues and take your lumps for a few seasons. No shortcuts.
