My idea with the payroll restrictions was to reduce the advantage a human has in having somewhat of an idea who is safe to sign long term and who isn't. Having development and TCR on doesn't negate a human's advantage.

For example, Clemente doesn't look like he's going to have a career as good as real life. So maybe instead of the $110K I'm paying him he's only worth $90K. But AI teams are out there paying guys 110K who collapse at age 30 to replacement level players. So my $20K loss in value in almost nothing.
Yep, it's an excellent way to play. In that main save of mine I have full rev available but impose set limits on my club's budget each year, in addition to the other edits I mentioned. EG Owner gave me $90m last year, I cut that to $62m, my standing max payroll is $55m, our actual payroll ended up being $28m. We won it all with the 10th lowest payroll of 36, so it's doable and it feels great when you do!
