Being over budget

Right, but he had other questions that have nothing to do with the owner. You just said, "We don't have owners" and walked away.

You should treat your favorite person in the world better than that, fun clown.

I'm basically just giving him shit that's all. He keeps on about the owner. Trust me I did a ton of reading on disabling dynamic owner and we switched to off we took them out of the game.

Winning / fiscal responsibilitiy is basically the keys. Watch for your budget to shoot up the next couple of seasons. "Sustained" success is a key factor for media revenue (See LA, Balt, Mai, Was and a few others) but SOME randomness still exist there also. Windy City's marketing in television must suck.

Oh, yeah, you're right there. Always know I'm just poking you. All 6'5 and 250 pounds of you.

The "penalty" for finishing over budget is the negative Cash number you carry forward with you into the next season. That gets directly calculated into FA funds and available extension funds. Your budget will be based on your revenue. Your owner doesn't get mad that you can't work to your budget, but the game now holds you accountable by keeping your negative balance on your books. There's no more get out of a jail free card like there used to be. You can't dig yourself out of a hole by digging deeper anymore.

But is that penalty any greater if the dollar amount in the red is greater?

A negative cash number is a negative cash number when the game takes away FA and extension funds, has been my understanding.

Sure, every extra dollar in the red is one less dollar for roster building (current year and future years).

Plus, current year projected shortfall immediately impacts current season FA signings.
