Financials Help?

Gai1997 · 11-22-2014, 08:07 PM

So I understand inflation is to be expected and that by 2020, 30m contracts could be norm. However, my owner and other owners are not adjusting to that. While a 150m payroll made sense with 20m contracts to superstars, now when 35m is what a superstar gets, 150m is a bit too small. How do I make it so the owners adjust and start allowing more money to be spent?

As player contracts get higher, owners are still trying to cut and not spend as much, which is impossible and doesn't make sense.

Either I make it so contracts stay stagnant at today's levels or I make it so owners spend more. How do I do either?

Thanks!

Make your team a huge profit, and remember choose a generous owner

As best I know there is no inflation built into OOTP. But I do believe, someone please correct me if I am wrong, that FA asking prices are related to available cash in the league. So if you don't limit cash per team and teams are making a lot of $$ then the FA demands will continue to go up while budgets remain stagnant. There may very well be more to it than that though I believe available cash has an influence on FA asking prices.
