The data looks like some out of whack code at the moment. However, I've long been a fan of equalized cities. In Mogul leagues, it's always seemed to me that certain teams can have a massive revenue advantage (or dissadvantage) to other teams. Just because finances would be equalized, don't make the assumption that all teams will be"equal." Consistently winning will still get you a better budget than a team perpertually stuck in the cellar. Additionally, I think a big sell is not having to run Revenue Sharing for Andy and then making all of the in-game adjustments.
As for the Stadium money that's been talked about, I think some sort of reimbursement should be in order. Something of x% based on x number of years in our recent history. Also, while teams should have access to their locked Stadium Fund money, I don't think it should be immediately dumped into the file. There's a few teams with $100M+ and I think that would have adverse effects on the file.
Here's my idea for the Stadium money spent/current Stadium Fund money:
1. If you've made purchases in the last four years, you get your money back less 20% per year that you've had those changes in effect.
i.e. Team spends $100M in 2025 for Stadium. Since they've now had three seasons of usage of those upgrades, they get 40% ($40M) back.
2. Stadium Fund money stays in the "Stadium Fund" portion of the Team Bank List until the 2133 Free Agency file. At that time, a maximum of $50M can be dumped in the game. Any money left in the "Stadium Fund" after the in-game dump will be taxed at 50%. At that time the remaining money will be moved into the normal Team Bank (those teams will have an exception to the $50M max, but cannot add any more money until there's less than $50M).
To clarify, I mean that for accounting purposes, it would remain as a "Stadium Fund" and not moved into the Team Bank until 2133. If you use it, great. Whatever is left at that point, could have a max of $50M dumped into the game, and then the remainder gets a 50% tax and immediately dumped into the Team Bank. Then the "Stadium Fund" is over.
3. Some teams may see drastic changes in their budget. If they do, they can see additional cash added to their Team Bank for up to five seasons.
i.e. Team used to have a net budget (post-Revenue Sharing) of 125M. With equalized cities, they've dropped to 110M. With having signed a player to a lucrative long-term deal, the team will have an additional 10M added to their bank for the next five seasons to help cover most of the differences in net budgets.
Net Budget = In-Game Budget + Revenue Sharing Total Net
