Equalize Team Finances Option

26 is my first version of the game so I am I'm still learning everything about the game. I was trying to set up a game where all the teams are on equal financial footing. I found some forum and reddit posts where people develop their own methods of creating a financial neutral league. It seems if you want it to be truly it equal involves editing each teams income every year.

It would be nice if there could be a simple button in league creation to keep team income equal. Allow tickets, merchandise and all other forms of income to not matter and just one set income for each team (maybe allow the player to put in what that income would be.) I may be wrong but this could be a fairly simple addition to the game.

Turning off the financial system during league creation makes it too easy. I tried with the inaugural draft and I as the player was able to pick all the good young players, my team ended up being miles better than all the others. Without the draft too many good players are in the free agency and you can just sign all the players. Also turning off the financial system isn't the same as equalizing team income, maybe some people want to deal with budgeting but just want to get rid of the income disparity. I would be happy if there was a way to make this setting work with something like forced free agency of your players and if free agency treated it like a draft of some kind but this seems like a lot of work for the developers.

I am new to the game and may be missing something. It would be nice for new players like me to be able to just click a button during league creation to keep equal income. It's just kind of a headache to try to learn all the techniques to keep income equal.
