Hey Charles...What happens to teams under the floor? There seems to be two teams in the JBBL quitting the game but have 5 weeks until they go bot...Do they get 25-0's even though they only have 3 players(only new draft picks)?

Why should they? Know the rules.

It looks to me it's good to tank in a small country and not tank in a big country. Seems a bit unfair.

So after the change, I am dangerously close to the PSF.
I just promoted to D.III, my players are salary efficient, their salaries amount to 70 059 and the PSF is 60 697. I have 16 players, and I was going to sell 3 of them, but now what do I do? If I sell my 3 draftees I will be under the PSF.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe I can avoid relegation with the players I have now. This PSF is just another reason to care about "the manager is doing everything he can to improve the team" and not about "I'm familiar with the players and not afraid they get traded".
Well, call me crazy but I was trying to avoid that.
New teams have no salary floor until their first offseason.

Maybe promoted teams also could be exempt from the PSF for one season?

Like this update. Removes some of the incentive of tanking so move in the right direction.

Thanks!!!!

I suspect you'll find in practice that you end up being above the PSF for most of the season if you indeed stay in D. III or promote again to D. II, looking at the other teams in your league. But, there's no requirement that you do so.

I was never in D.II, I'm very new to this game, and I'd be shocked if I promoted this season with my current roster. If I did, however, I would pretty much be forced into buying a stud or two from the market.

All in all, I like the change, but for those who want to increase the salary floor even more, I say it would hurt home-grown teams too much. (And I despise tanking).

But I don't think it's likely to be a good financial decision in the end compared to competing in the NBBA, cup and potentially B3 for another season.


This is definitely possible. For what it's worth, my plan (and I think im pretty close to 100% with Damena on this) was driven by wanting to rebuild, focus on training and take a break from all the planning it takes to compete. Knowing I'd rake in a bunch of money in the initial 2 seasons was enough to take the big step of tearing down what took years to build. If financial incentive wasn't there it would have been much harder to pull the trigger on this plan.
