I don't necessarily agree that money was totally useless. That was the only way to get free agents for example.
There possibly needs to be more things money can buy. Two suggestions would be:
1) Allow one last transfer from the non managed teams following the free agency sale - this would have allowed teams that had missed out to buy one last young rider or rouler. I thought this would be possible - it was only made clear that it wouldn't be when it was too late this time. I can understand why TMM made that ruling, however it meant following initial bids on free agency 6 financial transactions stopped.
2) A decent scouting system - I'd suggest that it should be open in transfer season perhaps and people need to invest money into regions or countries with pools of riders available at a price within those regions.

Also, money left should be taken to the (next) season, and have some function then. Then it'd be worth it to make a transfer deal only involving money

I agree with Jesleyh, money from the previous transfer season should be moved on, in some way.

I agree, however it should definitely not be implemented this season, as we planned our transfer season wanting to spend all the money we had. |

@Smowz - Yeah the timing at the end got a bit messed up. I thought/planned there to be some time after FA Sale 6 but it didn't work out like that, which was unfortunate. I then just stuck to the 7 Day time limit, so yes it didn't work as well as it should have. But it was just bad timing rather than bad design.
A scouting system is planned for future seasons, and it will be another use for money. I have it fairly well planned out and rules made etc. But first i wanted to get the basics working and get though a season or two. There are more important things to do ahead of it.
@Jesl - I found it worth while to have transfer deals involving just money. I then just used that money to buy someone else in. As a result i ended up with a team i was very happy with. Same can be said for other managers.
Money will not carry over this season, and is not planned to do so ever. It's your rankings position that will determine your budget. This will be balanced against a couple of other features (as yet unannounced) to try and even out the teams.
@Money Only Deals - Depends how you valued the FA's, and with the amount of money going in to them people clearly did. Sell a rider for cash only, bring in an FA to replace them. Several people did that and were happy with it. Or sell for cash, then use all your cash to bring in another rider from outside the sales. Couple of people did that and where happy(ish) to do that.

TMM, i have an ideea for the future to balance things. (maybe you already planned this, i dont know)
SO. If next year budget will be available based on the rankings, basically the already better teams gone more better. BUT. You can implement a draft system like in the USA major leagues. Basically you create young custom riders (=the number of teams). The best of them with 8 pot, the 3 next with 7 pot, the next 6 with 6 pot and so on... ANd the draft picks will be the reversed order of the rankings. The last choose first, the second last choose second and so on.
Maybe not the greatest ideea, but i think its decent enough for balancing things |

@Jaxika - Yep, that is pretty much the unannounced feature i mentioned... The one i've got is slightly different from that but the idea is the same (giving the "weaker" teams the best talents)

@Manx but then don't start with the talent draft on day one so that you can buy/ trade other team's draft picks...

@Jax - Don't be sorry. It's a good idea, and you didn't spoil it. I hadn't mentioned it because i havn't finished the idea yet
@knockout - No way to buy/trade picks. Ever. Too complex

Ahh, that's too bad . It would have been a nice addition to the game, and - even though I don't think it would be too complex - I understand that you don't want to overcomplicate it. |
