Yep, and then you can click all of the players that might be arbitration eligible, and get all of their salaries for each year to which you are theoretically committed, and then you can combine that with all of the players that are on renewable contracts and all of the players that have committed contracts, and you can put all of that information into a spreadsheet, and then (30-45 minutes later) you will have the salaries screen which is available with one click in the full version of the game.



I am not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. This is a basic screen from the full version of the game. I am surprised that so many people have apparently not seen it or don't use it. I use it constantly to determine what my salary commitment is going forward, and which contracts might become problematic in offering extensions down the road. It is impossible to do this in the mobile game without a separate spreadsheet, and that is simply too much hassle.



This is only of many drawbacks to this stripped-down version of the game, which is also awkward to use and does not supply historical seasons without a large investment. My opinion only, you don't have to agree.


It's not that I don't agree.... I just don't have the time or accessibility to play the full version. So I love having this version on my phone and I love the game, it's all I know.

Of course if you're going to compare it head to Head with ootp it's gonna get crushed, there's no doubt about it.

But I have played hundreds of seasons over the years and have never needed to calculate my salary commitments 4 years down the line. That level of detail is unneeded in this version.
