I started playing in Beorn's league 14 months ago using 2007 and I got rid all high priced players and restocked with foreign signings and draft picks. So, my team salary has remained very low for many seasons and the cash reserves have piled up in anticipation of signing my existing home-grown stars to long term contracts. Now, I am told this strategy has been invalidated by some stupid "design" decision at
OOTP HQ. It's supposed to be a game to be played OUR way, but every new version seems to take away options.
I'm sure there is a workaround that creates extra work for the commish. For example, roll over excess cash into media contract.
