Best sim ever. Been playing for years. Will continue to play until I no longer exist.

That said, me not so smart. I am baffled by the financials. Here is my question.

I simplify things as best I can.

- 26 team fictional league
- Entire budget available
- No arbitration
- No local media or merchandizing
- Same national media
- 50% gate share
- 100% shared income (very socialist)

I works very well. 70 years, a lot of parody and no market size advantage.

BUT, I use a 120 million dollar salary cap. The AI does a great job of staying under. However, it seems like the cap is more of a suggestion than an actual cap.

When I look at Budget Information:

Salary Cap: 120,000,000
Salary Cap Payroll: 105,000,000
Space Remaining: 15,000,000 (makes sense)
Money for Free Agents: 23,000,000 (how is that possible??)

When I look at Extension Information:

Salary Cap: 120,000,000
Projected Payroll: 99,000,000 (different than salary cap payroll?)
Space Remaining: 21,000,000 (makes sense)
Money for Extensions (21,000,000) (makes sense)

Whats the difference between these 2 budget sections and why do I have money available to spend above the cap?

Thanks
