2008 OFFSEASON SIM 1 Complete - Next SIM Sat 11/1

[BradZ]

I can't offer anything to FAs. Says my owner doesn't approve but I'm showing projected budget room of about 7 million. Any ideas?

What's the line item for $$ available for FA?

I can take a look later after I get home and help if need be.

It says none.

Player Development and Scouting Budgets?

Those budgets are low. My payroll is at $102, my budget is $120. I doubt I have over $18 in other expenses.

My total expenses is a little over $113. I'm assuming it's my negative 8-something in CASH....though that number was positive the entire season. Not sure why it went to negative 8 million.

The budget room is sort of nonsense. If your in negative cash position you have to subtract that basically.

Shows you lost about 6ml for last season (any bonus's kick in?) plus you paid out revenue sharing around close to 2 million.

I never offer bonuses, so I doubt that's it. Can anyone explain why I go from 8-plus in CASH to negative 8?

You can see what happened with your cash balance by flipping to view previous year. It will show beginning cash balance from previous year, all revenue and all expenses for last season with the net figure at the bottom being, presumably, -$6,454,879 (or in that neighborhood).

So, the short answer is, you spent
$118.5 on players and coaches salaries
$17.5 on scouting and player development


against revenue of $120.9

for a loss on the season of -$15.1.

Math checks out!

Did I mention that I hate revenue sharing. I haven't seen one red cent of rev share in 20+ years.


Except when I'm in the red after rev share is subtracted.

Use to piss me off in the 90's when we shelled out cash. Last 2-3 season we finally got some of our money back.

Are players on the DL off limits for Rule V?

[Lintyfresh85]

LOL I didn't know you were a mind reader too. You foiled my scheme! Unlike you I did it when it wasn't against the rules. You did it when it was....but you misremembered I get it. Your definition of cheating is hysterical.

Speaking of hysterical, notice how since Clay has been gone International free agents are garbage?

Why did he let me sign all the good ones, then?
