I just started a fictional league and after the inagural draft, no one has and money for free agents,They do however has lots of money for extensions. Sometimes as much as 30 mil. is this normal and will it effect the game in any way?

The inaugural budgets are 20% to 30% too low upon league creation. This budgety thing is hard coded. An increase of the league creation budget amounts has been requested.

Budgets will right themselves after a few years but it would be nice if they got a better start.

Means your own players who can't get extended will become free agents rather than re-sign with you. But you can re-sign them as free agents as that is where the dollars are. Just watch that you do not perpetuate the over-budget thing for the team you control.

I did not want to increase budgets, so I gave teams cash to try to help them out, is this gonna be a problem?
