I still say the finances are buggy

Another Mike D, does the owner in question have outstanding free agent offers? The game won't let you have more money out in offers on the table than is equal to budget difference plus free cash.

Yeah, he has offers out but for much less. Our White Sox owner has about 6.4M in budget room, and the game even says that when he's making offers. The owner gives approval (even though we're not set to owner control) but the submit button is grayed out. He has no outstanding offers, can't even make 1 offer.

Everyone in my league is reporting this, the game just won't let them spend all the money budgeted, even though it says they can afford it. And it would appear that we aren't the only league experiencing this.

Of course, I can submit offers for them by using the "act as" pulldown, but I'm assuming that's because I'm da commish.

Just an update, we ran today's sim and now people are starting to say they can actually spend their budgets. I guess we had to advance days after I fixed it. The problem is, the game isn't counting cash when making offers, even though it says the money is available. So if you have 20M in budget room, and 10M in cash, it will SAY you can offer 30M and get approval, but once you offer 20M worth, the submit offer button will be grayed out.

To all commishes with this problem, what I did was manually add the cash figure to the budget and take away the cash. Once FA is over, I'll knock the budgets back down and re-adjust the cash.
