OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - It's 2020 and all of the teams in my league are cash rich

I started a historical league in 1999 and it's now 2020. I honestly haven't been paying too much attention to the financial situation of the league, except to note that after winning a lot of World Series as Kansas City, I never seemed to have any money problems, always being able to sign anyone at any time. It's only the last few years that I look around the league and notice everyone has a massive amount of free cash. Almost every team in the league has a balance of 100m+ every year. They can only carry over 8m each year, but most teams have a budget of around 180m. You'd think this would cause player salaries to sky rocket, but I haven't really noticed that. Top player salaries 25m, 24m, 20m, 19m, 19m, 18m, 18m, 17m, 17m, 15m, 15m, etc.

Nothing looks really wonky in the financial setup.
Avg attendance 30k
Ticket Price 22.50
Media Rev: 43m
Cash Max 8m
Super Star 11m

So is this normal? My OOTP is fully patched. Is there an alternate financials.txt file I should be downloading to get future accuracy?
