FreeAgents asking way too much

[pipermac]

I started a historical league in 1977, its the the off season between 78 and 79 and I have Players asking for 4.7 Million per year!! I have done other leagues where this didnt happen so there must be some kind of bug here.

Well, when you first create an historical league you're given an option whether to use current financials or historical. If you accidentally left it as "current" instead of "historical", you'd get demands like that. I know because I did it once.

I tried looking in the "game setup" screens to see where you could confirm this but can't find anything that denotes it! I thought for sure it'd be a tick-box under the "rules" tab but damned if I can see one... I guess I'd check the team financials. If everyone has team salaries & expenditures in line with modern baseball, then that confirms it was just the wrong selection during setup. (I setup a 1986 league and it says the avg. team salary is ~$24M, so yours should be less)

If that's not the case, then hopefully someone else can help 'cause that's all I've got.
