Player asking for $34 million a year in Free Agency

Jack Hughes is asking for $34 million per year in Free Agency. I've also noticed 3rd and 4th liners/bottom pair guys asking for $7-8 million per year to renew their contracts.

I did raise the cap once to $104 million.

Could you upload that save? I haven't seen this in testing, but we've had a couple of reports of this now, and at least one was without raising the cap (which would normally be the first thing I'd suspect.)

I've uploaded it as "FHM12_New_Save.lg.zip". Only thing is though since this post I ended up signing the player. So hopefully that doesn't change what you're able to evaluate.

I did tweak the players attributes tho. It took me a lot of drafts to finally find a star...and he was just an A-hole lol. And as realistic as that is, I did a little coaching fairy dust...and turned him into the captain.

I modified:

Teamplayer
Leadership
Professionalism
Temperament
Controversy

And then I made the team his favorite.

I'd upload a file but in early versions, I'm popping around playing different teams. But the next time I run into it, I'll totally upload it.

This is happening to me as well. Upcoming free agents are asking for 26m+. I did raise the salary cap but only up to $97,500,000.

Emailed it over with a file name of: Da Broons.lg.zip

Thanks, we were able to use that save to figure out what was happening. The fix in today's update is retroactive, so if you load it now, you'll get normal requests from your players.
