I don't know why, and I will look when I get home but I have a player Jeff Lane that is listed as injured on my team but he is a 2032 draft pick. I'm assuming he agreed to the contract and is just listed because he is DFA'ed. His injury date was 5/21/32

I fixed some if I noticed an injury.
I will go through them in the next sim or two though completely.

Trevino: Yo

I have a guy as well.

Please refresh those trade threads and I will process them.

I saw blue text and you typing, thought sim was starting earlier. Thought I wasn't having to wait up till midnight for it.

No, sorry George. Cannot do that. Once I post a time, it has to be at least that time.
I fell asleep with my son, putting him to bed at 9 PM, so I woke up around 1:30 and can't fall back asleep.
I will now though so I can get up around 7 to 7:30 to start the sim.

Any team ever have 3 20 game winners?

Obvious guesses would be the triad of the Hawks or Remember the Titans.

The Minutemen have an outside shot with Rodriguez, Hastings, and Bishop.

Damn that hurts. Luna was having an awesome season too...

Meanwhile, Sheltown should really look into updating their training facility.

7-0 sim.... starting the comeback from the cellar!

Wasn't expecting to get all 3 of those international free agents. That's going to bite me in the @$$ financially.

Lol. McCarty still McCarty'ing

Not available. Hush it.

Yeah, it says anything over $2.5 M spent on international free agents gets hit with a 100% fee.
So have fun with that.

Spawn trying to make another MVP run...

So is a -6 Pythag the managers fault?

It's even better than that though (if our settings match the OOTP ones I found online):

Each team will have a $2,500,000 soft cap for signing bonuses given to international amateur free agents with penalties for going over this amount.

•Any amount over the cap will be taxed with an additional 100%
•If a team spends between 5 and 10% over the cap, it won’t be able to sign more than one player for a bonus of more than $500,000 next year.
•If a team spends between 10 and 15% over the cap, it won’t be able to sign any (IAFA) player for a bonus of more than $500,000 next year.
•If a team spends more than 15% over the cap, it won’t be able to sign any (IAFA) player for a bonus of more than $250,000 next year.

Here's how this year's spending shakes out for the big spenders (assuming the tax means you pay double bonus and not 100% on the amount over the cap, if it is the other way around, just deduct $2.5 mil from the total shown):
Cookeville $7,530,000 - taxed to be $15,060,000, no IAFA signings next year over $250k
New England $11,175,000 - taxed to be $22,350,000, no IAFA signings next year over $250k
Washington $9,153,000 - taxed to be $18,306,000, no IAFA signings next year over $250k

I know the financials shown on the website aren't always the best indicator, but it looks like two of those three teams would be in trouble financially based on that spending (again, if the website numbers are to be believed).

I'm actually surprised there isn't a hard cap somewhere as well, given that the penalties are obviously set-up for minor exceedances of the soft cap and, it would seem, the game doesn't expect any team to be going over the soft cap by 800% like New England did.
