If you adjust these areas you have to consider the other finanical aspects of your league as well (i.e. average league attendance, ticket prices, and so forth).
i didn't adjust them......and even if that is the purpose of the feature, it's apparently not the sole effect. unless there is something else to explain why teams are sitting on billions of dollars of cash and not using even a fraction extra to sign big free agents (draft pick compensation turned off), then i'd say it is a rather significant part of the problem.

but either way, THERE'S A GIGANTIC PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING that completely ruins the long term playability of the game.
