Hey, I'm running a 20 team fictional league, and it's in it's 11th season... I don't know what it is, but the team I control always seems to spend a lot of money on payroll. In fact, my payroll is often 10 million dollars more than the next closest team... So last season I decided to put in a salary cap of 70 million dollars, but still the computer doesn't seem to be spending very much money on payroll. I suppose this is a good thing, because they will make more money, but it seems that I spend an unusual amount more money then all the computers teams...

I mean, my payroll is about 69.5 million, and the next closest is in the 50's, all the way down through, with a lot in the 40's and 30's and one team only has a payroll of 11 million.

So is there a reason the computer isn't spending a lot of money? They do have money to spend, as most of the teams were left with 20-40 million dollars after free agency. It's not like the other teams aren't competitive, I just think it would make sense for them to spend a little more money to try and rake in some top of the line FA's... So, is it normal for the CPU teams to spend so much less money then I am?
