it has been stated that you can only change the budgets year to year a limited amt so as that to keep someone from inheriting a team from being at a disadvantage, however thats exactly what it does. I take over team and i'm pigeon holed into a budget that only varies slightly from the previous owner and can't get it to where it needs and should be for several seasons, essentially putting owners thaat are new to a team at a severe disadvantage, if the previous owner had a [poor budgeting strategey. Restrictions should be removed completely so that its not ever a encumbrance on a new owner taking over a team

Your first sentence is false, which makes the remainder wrong.

The reason for the limited adjustability is so owners can't jump from one extreme to another in a single season.

ADMIN has addressed what you are ccomplaining about by allowing incoming owners to choose between starting from the previous season's budget or from the baseline (which used to be the ONLY option).

I still think it doesn’t make sense. In real life teams flip from rebuild to competing in a matter of years. It should be the same for HBD. Doesn’t make sense why this restriction is set.

Because of the budgeting restriction, I won't stick with a team once it needs a rebuild. I think that is the mindset of many established owners as well and why there are so many openings for leagues after the season ends.

Budget restrictions are my absolute least favorite part about this game. Not a single customer likes them! Get rid of them!

I think if a ton of people submit tickets it could change.

I like them just fine.

It is not realistic to be able to jump from one extreme to the other. I'd support an increase to 5m per instead of 4, but no more.

If you have to flip to full "rebuild" mode to keep your team relevant then the wotld isn't losing much.

In a matter of years. What is different in HBD?
You can do exactly that. Flip from rebuild to competing in a matter of years. If you plan accordingly it can be almost seemless.

It should be seamless. Teams go from rebuilds to success very quickly like the cubs or Astros. Not in a matter of 5 years, in a matter of 1 or 2.

+1 to this.

The Cubs, Braves, and Astros tanked and horded prospects and then called them up all at the same time.

I suppose it's basic human nature. The game is all about money management and the rules around it, yet most of the complaints are that someone can't manage their money exactly how they'd wish to.

And if we want to talk about what happens in real life, what's happening in real life now is that teams have begun treating players the way we can here. Why pay a veteran his free agent price when you can get 90% of his production from a 23 year old? Teams aren't signing free agents. In real life, human considerations used to play a part - personal loyalties, belief that experience matters, appeasing the fan bases, competitive balance, maintaining the lifestyle of personnel by being a humane workplace. In the Amazon age, no one gives a **** about any of that. As long as we're talking about real life, my personal opinion is that the collective bargaining agreement is outdated, and when it's time to renegotiate the players will strike.

Okay. Let's say you put a few more 116 loss seasons behind you and you're done "rebuilding".

What, specifically, about the budgetary restrictions would stop you from winning the year you decided to try and win games?

Well, I’m gonna answer that question maturely and not take any shots at you. Once my minor league talent gets to the ML, I plan to sign a lot of FA, which is something I won’t be able to do because I’ll have to have money in IFA, and draft scouting.
