30 Team Control More Free Agents

[tabarnes19_SDS]

30 team control is great because you can control as much or as little as you want. I have everything set to auto for the other 29 teams. I let them do their thing. I only step in when I "need" to. It takes no more time than single team control.

It takes more time if you watch all the trades but it is worth it

That is interesting. Wins/loss record doesn't seem to be the determining factor. I wonder what the formula is to determine the amount of increase or decrease.

I think it's relative to your team ratings and expectations that go with that. So a team rated at the bottom of the league can still get a budget increase even if they finish below .500 because their expected performance was probably lower than that. And vice versa, a team rated really well may see a decrease even if they have a winning record, but maybe don't make the playoffs or advance far.

That makes sense. Is this new?

No idea. I never really paid attention to it in past editions.
