Contract extension math issues

pfholden · 04-26-2023, 09:14 AM

**I tried to upload a zipped game file but got an error message that I needed a security token**

When offering a player a contract extension, the money available on the player page where you offer the contract does not match the "money available for extensions." Sometimes it matches the "total money available" but sometimes the number is seemingly random.

One simple example: Example: In the 2024 season, player X is in the last year of his contract. He is seeking a 5 year deal worth $30m per season. I have $25m in total money available and $60m available in money for extensions. On the player page where you negotiate the contract, the game is telling me I only have $25m available for the extension in 2025, so therefore I can't pay Player X the $30m next season.
Why is the game using my "total money available" for a 2025 contract, and not the money for extensions ($60m) when determining if I have the money to sign this deal?

A not as simple example: In the screenshots attached, you can see the math with a Burnes extension isn't as straightforward. I'm not sure where the $14m money remaining for extensions is coming from given I have $64 available for extensions. Burnes' page also has an arbitration estimate listed, but he's not arbitration-eligible any longer.

Has this been picked up as a bug yet? We're experiencing the same thing in our fictional online league, I have 6m for extensions yet when I go to offer a guy 900k a year for his extension it says that I'm 200k over my extension budget....very strange. At first I'd hoped that the disconnect between the numbers was just visual but it doesn't seem to be unfortunately.

I can provide screenshots if that would help Lukas?

Cheers!
