Salary cap question

Scoman · 11-03-2016, 02:07 PM

Im playing a fictional league with a salary cap of 75mill with a cap hit of 54 mill so I should have 20 mill for FA signings but it says a have a 71 mill player payroll. Every player I have signed has the same number at cap hit and salary,so why isnt my player payroll 54 mill?

Anybody?

Do you have minor leaguers? Their pay counts towards the payroll budget, but not cap hit.

No I don't have minor leagues. Only other players I have are unsigned draftees.

Its weird because it says I have 29 mill to spend on FA but yet 71 mill payroll and 54 mill cap hit

Your budget isn't always going to jibe with the payroll when it comes to funds available.

As you play the season, and have home games where you hopefully make some money, you get more available cash to spend on players.

What does your financial page say for cash on hand? That's usually the limit when it comes to signing players, regardless of budget space.

Can you post a screenshot of your roster screen with it on the "Contracts" view? I may be able to figure out what's going on from that.

The contract values in that shot add up to about $71 million. Unless the cap hits are significantly different from the salaries (check the Salary Obligations screen under the team menu and switch between salary and cap hit views), that looks OK.
