I can't understand why,

When a team is subject to a lengthy salary floor protection period, it can lead to a situation where they're forced to allocate a significant portion of their resources towards player salaries, even if it's not sustainable for their current financial situation.
Or do you mean you're not referring to regular teams here, but rather those teams that bought a lot of high-salary players before the playoffs?


I agree that a 28-week salary floor protection period encourages teams to keep their player salaries low and then buy a lot of high-salary players right before the playoffs.
But I guess (though I might be wrong) that most new managers usually don’t use this kind of high-risk strategy.
This kind of strategy is more common among returning experienced managers or new managers who were taught to do it this way.
So we might need to be careful not to teach new managers with this kind of experienced-player mindset, or it might ruin their gaming experience.

If it's not a high-risk strategy, it seems hard to explain it as something directly caused by salary floor protection.

But in (309376.990), it does seem that four teams actually went bankrupt.
And in (309376.996), it also seems that a team really did buy a lot of players without investing in things like arena expansion.
Excluding personal choices, the only thing I can think of is whether salary floor protection is misunderstood or misperceived — for example, thinking that player salaries don’t need to be paid during the protection period.
Maybe the beginner tutorial (I no longer remember what it looks like) could include more reminders about financial matters.
