2) Do contracts go down after a poor year? This would be a different outcome than setting it up to have every player eligible for arbitration every year. I've never seen a contract go down in arbitration.
3) What date are the contracts renewed? Is it at the same time that arbitration hearings would be?
Any other input/warnings from playas with more experience would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance! |
as far as I understand
yes contracts are based on finance layout. if you have them for yearly historical changes. the base salaries will change
yes players salary can go down
as soon as the season ends I believe, the AI reruns finances on all teams.
test it screenshot your player salary screen at beginning of season, then after playoffs end, when season officialy over. the salaries will be different.
I like this better than a no finance league. Still gives the feeling of money things going on, but no free agency. It allows big market teams to trade for higher salary players, while low markets can't- they will go over budget. Everything else is basically like playing no finances (except draft signings of course if those are on)
