I have a concern that I asked Derek about and we felt it best to ask the league.
I got a bad break during this whole conversion process. I exported right away after the season ended on 17. Then, my brother and I got together and converted to OOTP 18 at the same time on the same day. I exported my changes after doing them a second time. His update/export took just fine, mine did not.
Somehow I had a strange hybrid copy of the league file and I didn't get to fixing it and doing my arbitration for a 3rd time before Derek simmed.
I got stuck with about 5 million in 3 players I twice exported as non tendered: Joe Garat, Tony Cruz and Bob Baldwin. Derek says he's fine with wiping those salaries and sending them to free agency, but we both thought it would be good to ask the league. I don't want to set any bad precedents. I did this twice and it just didn't go through, then I didn't have enough time to do it a 3rd time.
I wouldn't even care so much if jerk owner didn't keep slashing my budget because I didn't get enough friggin steals (goal: raise steals. Texas goes from 16th to 14th, which means moved up, but it didn't count. Now I have to try and appease this idiot by doing something I don't strategically want to do /rant).
Anyway, let me know what you think. I will commit ritual seppuku if you do not vote my way.

I feel your pain. I know how messy these finances can be. I also had a messy situation last season that was not within my control to fix and the league overwhelmingly voted not to allow my team to receive any financial help to correct the glitch or error or whatever the hell happened. I went half the season with no money to sign free agents or claim guys off waivers. I had to sell off guys that I wouldn't have traded had I not had that happen to me. Gave up a lot of good guys to try and free up cash.
I have to vote no, but it's not personal at all and I hope you aren't upset with my vote.

Apparently the league likes your argument better than it did mine when I posted a poll about my financial problem last season. Glad the league voted in your favor. Good luck to Texas this season!

I will be transparent in my reasoning. It is my opinion if the game gives us a raw deal, which happened to the Cubs last season, all we can do is accept it and move on. The analogy i use is the term "act of god", defined as:
"An accident or event resulting from natural causes, without human intervention or agency, and one that could not have been prevented by reasonable foresight or care."
No one physically did anything to cause the Cubs very bad luck situation. But as we know from real life dealings, these "acts of god" do occur and all we can do is suck it up and move on best we can, finding solutions to any happenstance.
In the case of Danny, OOTP released 3 patches within a short period of time, which resulted in our league re-setting the off-season twice. Human intervention did in fact occur. With Derek's crazy life and trying to keep the league moving, it was inevitable someone would be unable to keep up with the exports. That is no fault of anyone, but simply bad timing all around, especially from the game developers.
While I accept we are all responsible to export when they are due, it is reasonable to me with all that occurred and the confusion from moving forward that Danny got caught in the middle of it.
That's my take and why I voted yes.

Each sim the amounts have reverted back to amounts I don't want! That is annoying as hell!

I've noticed that is the key for entries to stick in ootp.

Sean made an excellent point above, make sure to hit the Enter key once you make any changes in the $ boxes. Or, enter the amount, click on another tab and then go back. Check to see if it changed. Report back if you can to see if this helps? Thanks!

I have zeroed out the scouting budget with the last 2 sims. After I zero it out, I hit enter, and I export. Each time the game deposits the same $7 mil in the scouting budget. I just make a habit now of ALWAYS checking it but I am worried I will miss it and end up with $11 mil in my scouting budget like last season!
A side note, last season I had $11 mil in scouting all season and did not have a scout hired. So I spent $11 mil for nothing! Ugh. But it's cool. It's a new season and I have some cash thanks to the playoff run. It's all good.

The topic of this one has nothing to do with the one you keep bringing up.

The topic of this one has nothing to do with the one you keep bringing up. Now I remember why I blocked all your posts. Because 95% of the crap you post on here is rude, sarcastic, or you just being a prick. It's a hell of a lot more peaceful when I don't have to read your garbage. If you don't like something someone posts, here's what you do. You private message them or, even better, you ignore it. You roll your eyes and you move on about your business. That's what normal, level-headed, non-pricks do. FYI. Now I will go back to blocking and ignoring your posts.

Maybe try only cutting it to half of what he automatically puts in there to see if it sticks. Not having money in development is a big time no no IMO.
