<![CDATA[We need a salary cap ranked mode]]>Playing the same meta team over and over for the past 4 years is enough.

Make a mode where players get 100k to spend their team.

98- 99s cost 9k
95-97 8k
92-94 7k
88-91 6k
85-90 4.5k

So on and do fourth. Make every switch hitter have a x.5 cost. You lock you team in to start and you play 7 full games, if you lose 3 times your out, lose 2 times you get a 1 game wildcard to see if you make the playoffs.

It would be fun to build a team of players that dont get used very often without getting smacked by a lineup full of switch hitter.

At least you'd see some variance in the lineups instead of switch hitters 1-9 šŸ˜†

But yes saying u donā€™t mind shrinkage expect to take heat for this.

Everyone would quickly min-max and you'd still see a lot of the same guys.

I'd prefer a more restrictive theme team mode - where a wheel spins every game and gives strong restrictions (like only one team or only one division)
