I know I am just pushing ideas that will never be implemented. I think it is stupid not to have budget carryover we rollover players. No one has given me any reason it is bad other than tanking which is pervasive anyway. I wish HBD would give us a chance to design our own leagues. Things I would change include the budget, (rollover & transfer), coaching, scouting, and IFA. Eventually someone will come up with a better baseball simulator and HBD will go the way of all things tech until then we are stuck with what we have.
Because your idea gives teams, which are already better, an even greater advantage with more $$.
Actually no that is not true. Teams that are better normally have larger payrolls and smaller budget surpluses therefore they would have less to rollover to the next season. A team in the midst of rebuilding would have a smaller payroll and larger surplus to rollover so it would actually be an advantage to the weaker team. This is why some would say that it would promote tanking. Which is why I would suggest that the amount available to be rolled over be capped or based on some percentage. One idea would be to do a weighted winning percentage of all teams in the franchise it would discourage tanking and promoting paying attention to your minors. If HBD actually had any interest in doing something like this an analysis of the effect could be done relatively easily. .
First thing HBD should do, put attendance in. That would help in multiple ways. Think of yourself as a fan and what incentives would be implemented to convince you to go to a game. Low ticket price, GM gets players that bring hope? The financial aspect of having an attendance would give an organisation a fluctuating budget. This way, as long as the team makes a profit, the owner can set money aside for future use. This is what they call a carry-over and it would have a cap. For a carry-over to work efficiently, HBD would need for us to hire the scouting staff, physical trainers and medical staff, not just the coaching staff. There is a part of the game that has no real relevance. I am speaking about the agents who we negotiate with to get FA, IFA and all of the other players to. These agents would charge a negotiating fee. So, the longer the negotiations last, the higher the percentage fee would be. In regards to attendance, it would show how well someone is doing overall. To determine how you are doing as a GM, HBD would need to create an artificial owner to evaluate us the player periodically through the season and once at the end.
