As I have pointed out privately in the staff forum, these issues have been addressed:
1) We offered smaller market teams a choice: Caps on budgets or Revenue Sharing. It was an overwhelming choice for caps.
2) All cities had real city population, per capita income and growth information put into the game unless it was detrimental (negative growth in Detroit, for example). Therefore EVERY team has experienced a boost to their base budgets.
3) Inflation is on, meaning that although demands and base salaries go up so does revenue every year to compensate for it.
Lastly, MIL/TBR you've taken mid market teams and flirted with the playoffs, if not made the playoffs, every year of FCM's existence including a Championship for MIL. I think many of your complaints are invalidated by your very track records. You've done more with your franchises in this universe than either franchise could/will do with theirs IRL, IMO (back 2 back abbreviations - nice!). I think your issues are more with just how baseball works not with how we run FCM.
