Exactly - people are agreeing that there's a problem, but disagreeing on the scope.
You should be able to set a $100 million max cash without it blowing FA demands beyond the thresholds assigned in the league settings. That is a flaw, and I don't think anyone's disputing it.
However, the flaw is limited to this one scenario in which there's unusually excessive amounts of available cash in the league. There is no flaw with "normal" settings.
The problem is "FA demands are too high when there's fantastically high amounts of available cash", the problem is not "FA demands are always too high".
