I did this before last year (in my game). I then raised the cap some in the 2nd year again. Everyone was so cap-strapped I couldn't even trade a minor leaguer at the deadline to anyone with out them saying they had no room to take on that much salary.
With all the players heading toward free agency that couldn't be signed I figured they'd have more space in the offseason... so I signed my players instead ,creating a nice cap nightmare of some 18 million over.
Now the cap hits of some of my players has dropped inexplicably. And I supposedly even have cap room now... w/same players.
Most contracts were lowered and nobody is set to play for what they signed for just months prior. Most look adjusted by some percentage?
My most expensive player is signed for 12.3 million this year and 12.4 million the next but is this year carrying a cap hit of 9.926.550?
I never have signed any backloaded/uneven deals but another of my top players now lists three years at 8,132,400 and a fourth year at 10,100,00?
These are not the contracts they were signed to. The majority of my contracts seem altered.
I simmed forward (on a different save, still have a save on July 1) to the regular season to see if it was the 10% offseason cap that was the issue but nothing changed save the cap figure properly going back.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I put the July 1 save up as 'SalaryIssues'.
