Timing the economy and training is the most important part of this game. Well once you have a stadium anyway.
The level of planning needed if you don't have 4-5 million in the bank is a challenge.
Cash reserves simplify the game too much. All you have to do is buy a few 150K+ players a few weeks before the playoffs to trash the competition (at our level anyway).
Once I get to that level of money- watch out. Cause I know how to spend it

The question becomes simply ... when to spend?
That's the issue I have with tanking. Its too easy to accumulate a pot of gold.
However, I don't think it ruins the game. This game is fundamentally sound for the most part. That's why I enjoy it here.
The one good suggestion I could think of was that teams that relagate have to pay the teams that advance. 4 teams relagating have to pay the money the team that advances gets for winning the league. That seems a fair proposition...but its really not that damaging to the last place team anyway. Having a lottery for the top 6 draft picks would be a good idea as well. Those two changes would alter the landscape somewhat.
