As I've said, it will be up to Markus. But be careful what you wish for and how it might negatively impact your games. And don't be surprised if the request is denied because it's unrealistic, could skew finances, or otherwise cause unintended, negative consequences that Markus doesn't want to have to 'fix'.

Explain to me why an online league with 130M salary cap and budgets in that area for year 1 sees budgets at the 80M range for the upcoming season. That handcuffs GMs into not being able to extend contracts 'in season' even though they would remain under the cap. Show me one real MLB club that has that situation.
All anyone has asked for is either an option to edit projected budgets OR turn budgets off.
Why you think the ability to either edit the projected budget or do away with budgets altogether somehow hurts the game is beyond me.
This would damage the realistic nature of the game? How about my ability to choose whether to use the DH or not in the NL? Is that realistic? I have that option. Why shouldn't I have this option to run the financial portion of the game the way that I want to rather than either all or nothing as is now?
In summation, what do you care if I want to play the game in this manner? It doesnt have an effect on you/your game play.
