Yet, when I go to change my scouting or development budgets, I'm getting some very strange results.
The baselines are $2,430,000 for each of these budgets (late 1980's financials).
On the Finances tab, last year's amounts for each of these was $1,215,000. I have had to keep it low for a variety of reasons, but now I have plenty of available budget room, so I want to increase to at least be around league average.
When I type in $2,430,000, it changes to $1,444,360 instead. If I type over it again with $2,430,000, it changes to $1,673,720. Increasing by no more than $229,360 each time. Okay, annoying, but I can work around it.
Here's where it gets stranger. If I type in a number in the Scouting tab, it reverts to $1,215,000, no matter what I type in. Same thing in the development tab. It's acting like I'm over budget and forcing me to use 50% of the league baseline, but there's no reason it should be doing that. I have a projected balance of over $6,000,000, and a current balance of over $9,000,000. There's a hard salary cap of $14,000,000, and I'm not over it or projected to be.
I started looking around, most teams have the same budgets: $1,214,000, although some have up to $1,800,000 or so. But none are at the baseline. How can that be? Most teams have a lot of money and are under the salary cap, the league financials haven't imploded or anything like that.
What am I missing here? Is there an amount you can't go over the league average? And why is the average so much lower than the baseline in the league setup?
