*The Economics of the NSFL

[kckolbe]

I think it's a problem if you know that contract money could be spent on your players getting equipment or training they otherwise are not going to do media to get (not everyone is a max earner) and you as a GM still make the call to drop the money on more expensive and less efficient bots. You can win it all with cheap bots if you have the right pieces around them. But hey that's their call on how they think they can win.

But that player would likely to sign for the low amount anyways, whether to bring in another player, sign better bots, whatever. Aside from raising minimum salaries, you can't prevent players taking less to give their teams a perceived advantage. Trust me, it confuses and irritates me to see players who can't afford training taking the minimum, but it happens even on teams that have plenty of cap space.
