Financial Question

PSUColonel · 04-03-2008, 11:08 PM

What determines the amount of money I have for contract renegotiations during the course of a season, vs. the amount I will have to spend on free agents during the off-season? Is there a relationship between the two, and if I use(or don't use) cash to re-sign players to extend contracts, will that affect how much I will have to play with in the FA market?

it's a complicated buggy formula, it first depends on if you have all money to sign players or have owner set budget. Then during the season, budget room+ cash is avalible to sign or resign players. Durring the offseason, only budget room is used to caculate how much you have. At least that's the way I understand it.

I have it set to owner controls budget, but I guess the budget room will change based on which players you don't resign, or who gets arbitration etc... I wish there was some kind of rough estimate for what I'll be looking at for an offseason budget.(even though I'm currently in season) It would make it much easier to determine whether or not I want to re-sign certain players.
