I’m not sure how much you can do about salary right now due to release restrictions, but if you can modify your stadium, looking at your current attendance trends, taking it down to about 20,000-ish should help a lot. | ||

Your ballpark will be costing you money - attendance only reaches certain levels at any League Level (league 6 in your case), so there is no point in having a huge stadium as those empty seats will never get filled and it costs you to pay for them (this is all in the Help link at the top of the page). Your main problem I see is that you have five players each making $2M+ and two more making $3.25M+...those guys are taking up way too much money, and five of them are 31-years old. Your entire team salary should be around what those guys make combined. They're good, but will they help you 1-2-3 seasons from now? So now you have to decide: do I want to try and promote for short-term gain, or do I want to get rid of the old guys, start banking up cash reserves (which you'll need at higher levels), and start over for long-term gain? If you can cut a couple of the older guys and break even and still contend for promotion, that is something else to consider. But you look to have some decent talent in the minors, so I'd look to the long-term. Back in 2030 I promoted with a bunch of old-timers, knowing they were all moving on and I would be demoting again in 2031 (which I did) when I brought in my youngsters. Those kids got valuable playing time in 2031 in what was essentially a lost season and now form the core of my team, a core which has enabled me to promote twice. |
