After more thinking, this probably should have been done a long time ago. One of the bigger (and unrealistic) rebuilding strategies is...
- Fill your team out with dirt cheap high 70s/low 80s players
- Hoard in the cash from the massive profits
- Put excess cash in the bank
- Spend the cash on WB or draft picks
This is great for playing a game, taking advantage of AI, but is in no way realistic. Which we strive for here. This allows for any good players that might come through during a rebuild to be re-signed fairly cheap and avoids my big issue - not having to answer to fans.
Here, we don't have to answer to fans, media, etc... Making that unrealistic move to further a rebuild when you could compete works great in a game, but would anger fans into a riot or boycott in the real world. This lessens the ability to work the system of Mogul. And you can still have about $100M to finance WB, stadium upgrades, or buying draft picks ($50M in the bank, $50M in-game) without seeing salaries skyrocket.
