Some time ago I noticed an issue (a couple actually).
1) The rule for the "Luxury Tax" in ABL was originally set a 170% of the league average payroll, violating teams contributing 25% of the overage to tax, to be split.
2) That mechanism does not work properly in OOTP.
The discussion thread is here - ablootp.proboards.com/thread/358/off-season-decision-required-putting
While this is a pretty common setting in the game and is usually left default (120% and 20% shared) the distribution of funds just does not work correctly. The developers are aware and I did file a bug to hopefully have them look again. And others chimed in when I posted my bug, so you never know...
But it's not coming anytime soon.
Another option within the game that does ABSOLUTELY function properly, is the "Revenue Sharing" function. I outlined how that would work in the other thread too. For the sake of transparency, the fact it works, and it does aid the poorer teams, I would be much more interested in moving to this (and I propose starting with a 10% revenue sharing target and leaving it there for several seasons).
One thing is assured, 170% is not right as it simply doesn't penalize many of the very rich.
Another consideration is when to do this. I strongly propose BEFORE the end of the season when the year rolls over!
So the poll above. Please vote and/or comment below.
