this is what I was thinking. Right now Missy has the highest budget at 142,000,000 and the lowest at 102,000,000 (Tacoma and Thunder Bay).WhoDat wrote:I think a big factor in keeping things under control in a nocap world might be to put a limit on how big/small a team's market size can go to.

-No cap
-All revenue available
-Luxury Tax
-Either freeze or cap market size growth/reduction

My understanding that one of the big factors on what FAs ask for in salary demands is 'Cash on hand'. Even if you go no cap you still keep the 'cash max' at $10mil and, in theory, FA demands should not get that out of whack.
Also, there is nothing wrong with a player sitting in the FA pool until (or if) his contract demands come down. Many people in leagues point to these guys left in the pool and say that isn't realistic. True but neither are their demands. IRL there is more compromise. Also, there are guys IRL who retire but if you were willing to pay them %50mil per year they would forgo their retirement for a year or 2.

the problem with the cap is the players are going to increase there offers with the inflation and extra money in the game. So if I'm making all this extra cash each season and can't spend it. The players say- North Shore is sitting on 40 mil so I want 18 mil a season. I can't spend it so I don't make an offer. Most of the teams with the extra cash are already at the cap. The poorer teams don't have the budget to spend it either because of the lower budgets. The only way to bring in fans and increase budgets is to sign popular players and win. The poor team doesn't have the budget to sign them and the richer teams don't have the cap room to sign them. The player things there all this money out there so there demands don't go down- so the players sits a free agent.

Around ootp12 I changed from pro cap to anti cap. using the entire rev stream would give everyone more money. How much depends on different variable but it takes the owner out of the equation.
I think there needs to be no cap, full rev stream, and equal finances. Leave it up to winning brings in fans and increases revenue. May not need luxury tax- because that might negate the awards for winning.
Luxury tax is generally set well above the league average for team salaries. It is meant to force teams like the Yankees to think rather than just spend. And it helps teams like the Marlins, who apparently don't have the wherewithal to pay higher salaries, to not be put in a position where they may as well be a AAA team. It reigns in some teams so to speak...
I think if you go nocap you need to have the luxury tax. I don't think it has a major affect on the have's as they have the cash to pay the tax too (the Yankees and yes the Assassins) but it does help the have not's because they do get to benefit to n extent from the have's success.

I think everyone will get more money. I think the stingier owner teams would benefit the most because more being taking out of the revenue stream. Now since we equalized the owners (made them closer) it might not be that big of a difference. It basically making everyone owner/GMs and you would have situations where you are 10 mil under the cap but can't sign a free agent because the owner has all that money under extensions.Bumstead wrote:WhoDat wrote:Oh boy, agreeing with Jeff again...for the most part.Bumstead wrote:With the salary cap in place, doesn't that just allow the "have's" to spend even more money to maintain their dynasties?

I think removing the cap an instituting other controls might be the way to go though, and this is where I diverge from Jeff, this could very well lead to the gap between the have's and have not's being greater. The salary cap at least puts a hard limit on what the Have's can spend.
Also Jeff, since you have just about the lowest owner budget wouldn't changing to being allowed to spend all your revenue stream be an improvement? The Have's already have budgets over the salary cap so they can spend to the cap whereas your budget is below the cap and even if you have the revenue to do so you can't spend to the cap.
I apologize for your bad day...I would have to look at my revenue. As a GM with a large budget, you are only limited in spending on salary at the cap. Your higher budget allows you to spend up to the cap and still put a significant amount into Scouting and Player Development. My little budget, which is barely over the cap, forces me to make hard decisions based on where my team is at competitively and how much cap space I want to "sacrifice" for scouting and player development.
I would have to look at my revenue stream (and my team is profitable), but I would think the have's revenue stream would be significantly higher than mine just do to the fact that y'all have fans and such....It seems like the disparity would be greater than it is when using team budgets. I could be wrong. Have to look this weekend.

Owners budgets/Entire revenue stream?
At creation we used owner budgets to try to make it more challenging? Should we stick with owner budgets are allow the entire revenue stream? We have done both over the many version of AHIBA/NABL.
