I think the media money makes teams spend more, from what I'm seeing. If it weren't that, things would be more sensible. The budgets themselves don't seem to increase spending, it seems to be media mone. So a way to combat that, would be to smooth out the media money and divide it into the number of years that the media deal is for. That way, the teams can only spend that particular amount year after year, rather than each year..which is probably more realistic. Past versions of the spreadsheet have accounted for that, I only changed it, because I wanted the game to basically run on its own and if you never go back to the spreadsheet again.

But in retrospect, that might be the most dramatic change of all. To divide the media money up, rather than giving it as one lump sum annually.
