Go play an Undead/Nurgle team for a bit and see if you still support this. TV bloat or useless bench fodder, pick your poison :P

This discussion has been done many times. The TV for retired players is not one of the better suggestions IMHO.

You used to have a choice to put your retired players on as coaches. Its too complex.You cant min/max if you are forced to play up against teams where you need inducements. So called " Even games" are the burden of the TV design in Box. Id rather see it TW.

Nope. Better is replace TV with Team Strength. Even better comparative TS. e.g. the value of dodge depends on how much tackle the opponent has.
Complicated stuff and unlikely to ever be perfect but probably better than what we have now for the Box.

How bout something simple? Eliminate Chaos Pact. Doesn't fix it all, but there's nothing bad about erasing them from existence IMO.

Beerox that logic would see every team removed based on personal bias, nothing more. Amazons min/max with a higher win rate than any Pact team, thus showing that it is indeed only bias causing Pact to be singled out.

The solution is to play ranked/league.

Some points.
If blader4411 doesn't like it, it's probably a good thing.
I think there are better fixes than charging teams to retire players, however with the rules as they are now, and this was the only addition, it would be a good thing. It could be called a player pension or retirement fund or golden handshake.
"lets say it Skill to create killer teams with very low TV/TR." No, it doesn't, it doesn't take any skill at all. Just time and a warped sense of priorities.

I play a couple of undead teams tend to lose zombies as fast as I gain them, think I could handle the extra TV, it would only be small compared with someone who retires players to maintain low TV
