No problem, glad to help.
Yes, if you put the information in orange into the game, teams will have more realistic spending habits based on their market sizes. You should do it before free agency and do it every five years, as that's how the newest sheet is set for.
Do turn off revenue sharing, though, if you're going to use it or it sorta negates all of this. And set your cash maximum to zero or to some ungodly amount so that no matter what happens, the money teams have doesn't go to some other club through revenue sharing or something weird the game tries to do.
So yeah, that's it. Bandwagon is embedded into the formula and the game does tweak the numbers like fan interest and stuff on its own, so the baseline numbers you set in Year 1, will be managed by the game from Year 1-5 and heading into season six, the spreadsheet will take account how the team has done over the previous timeframe and assess a new number to operate from.
So using this, it's better to do well when you know it's time for a new calculation because you're stuck with say, a big spending spree for the subsequent five years if you go crazy. It factors spending into account, too.
