My team can't afford contract of offered player

targy · 12-23-2007, 07:09 PM

According to the front office I have 15mil to make moves

1. Current Balance is: $15,563,605
2. Projected Balance is: $149,130
3. Financial situation is secure I have $15,841,415

The player I am trading has a 2 year contract at $71,800 per year or
The player I want has a 5 year contract at $1,125,000 per year

I have my preference set so that all revenue is available so why does the game say I do not have enough money to make this trade possible..

This is not the first time since i upgraded to OOTP8 that this is happened and it is frustrating

Yes, Our online league has a huge problem with this type of flaw. Teams have plenty of money and the "Manager doesnt approve this offer" or "You dont have the money to make this offer" when we are offering extensions or making FA offers. The "Manager" should not have any say in this, the "HUMAN" should be able to control how much he/she spends. When there is no salary cap, if you go over budget you take the loss that season, its always been that way. But not being able to go near the edge of budget because the computer "Manager" doesnt like it sucks. This needs to be patched!

Just to be certain, which version of the game are you using, please?

Does it appear related to this issue here:

I still say the finances are buggy

8.0.0.13 not too sure f it is the same problem as the link you sent me.....I am in July with my league so the Arbitration and players to be free agents should not be a problem as I have not offered them any money at this time to count against my budget...

I have plenty of money to make trades and can afford most contracts , also I have the settigns set to allow me to use all lf my budget

At the end of that thread (page 2) they discuss another problem. I think that's the problem you are experiencing.

So from what I read the only way to fix this is to do the work around mentioned in that thread...be easier if they just fix the problem

Yeah, for right now the commish will have to enter the contracts. Not sure if it will be fixed since OOTP8 has been "closed out".

Nutlaw · 12-28-2007, 02:25 PM

Yeah, this is a known issue related to assumed arbitration costs for later years. For now, there's nothing else to be done about it.

I can stop the judgment or lawsuit from going forward. I can reduce the settlement by almost half and if both parties do not agree on the settlement amount there is no fee...We keep the attorneys away and the case out of court...The company I work for has 15 years of experience in negotiating settlements.....
