Trades/Cash

Hey, just a quick question here, not really a problem, but I guess under Tech Support.

What money is used in the flucuations during trades? FA signings? Cash?

I think it's FA signings because most teams in my online league have under 5 M in cash.

In case I didn't explain this well.. let's say I make a trade where I get 1 M more in Salary then I had before the trade, does that money go against my possibly FA signings amount or cash, or what?

The extra money is added to your payroll. As a result of having a higher payroll you will not have as much money to spend on Free Agents.. hence the reason you see that you have "less money" to spend on free agents.

Cash is simply the liquid assets of the team, the "Cash on Hand".

Free Agency Amount is calculated by this equation:

Money for FA = (Last Season Revenue - Current Payroll) + Cash

Hope this helps.
