Financial questions

knuckler · 01-05-2004, 05:27 PM

I'm in a online league where the cash max is set to 50,000,000. Some owners have lost money repeatedly but there is not a negative cash flow carryover. I know that some teams get 5,000,000 from revenue sharing, but it still wouldn't be enough to cancel out some of their debts. One of the owners informed me that in his own solo leagues, he has seen negative cash get carried over before so that teams are in debt. Is that possible? Do the settings need to be adjusted for this to happen?

Thank you in advance.

Negative cash does not carry over the way it should. Revenue sharing can cancel out some of this, but it also seems that the game will erase large negative deficits as well. I'm fairly certain that negative cash won't carry over perfectly from one year to the next. In our league, I manually edit the cash figures after we advance to the next season to make sure they are accurate - especially since we don't use any revenue sharing.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the fast response.

The game has a cash floor of -$5m, which is a problem. For example, you can start the season with +$10m cash, run a payroll $30m more than your revenue, and instead of ending up -$20m cash, the game will show your cash as -$5m instead. Would be nice if Markus would remove this limit.

Remove the limit and add an option to remove the default Revenue Sharing.

......and give us 'historical' salary options.

Even if was to remove two digits for pre 1950 leagues and one digit for 1960-1980 leagues.
