I was just going through the projected final balances (every team except the Yankees are expected to be above the cash max) and noticed that Atlanta's projected final balance is $2,097,309,134! I presume this is an error ;D
That said, it leads to the question as to what happens with next season's budgets. It is clear that they will all rocket again and no improvements to the free agent pool, so what is the procedure for ensuring long-term budgets staying at the current sort of level.

I'm seeing a 39 mil balance on the reports. Not sure where you saw 2 billion but I'd take it. Lol

Weird? Maybe something got screwed up in my files. Every other team looks ok in-game.
For you, it's showing 39mil current but 2billion projected?

I see a projected balance of 17 mil. (Budget minus payroll) and then a balance of 39 mil under the "current financial overview" ... I'm on the web

I see Braves as having 2 billion projected as well.

Adam Dunn looks to have a bargain contract all of a sudden

In trying to understand how this works more. Do we all make too much profit? And if that is the case, do owners crank up budgets because a lot of profit was made?

Revenues and therefore profits across the league are way too high as there are next to no non-player expenses. If left to OOTP this raises budgets across the board as we previously saw

If left to OOTP this raises budgets across the board as we previously saw I believe the answer is: We are hoping for OOTP 2012 to fix the financials If they do not, there is nothing stopping us from adjusting the budgets next year as well, and it wont be very hard or a big deal because we already have a baseline this year.

Can we all agree on something now so that there are no surprises next season. Something like a maximum + or - 2-3% change

I'm just assuming my budget next year will be very similar to this year - just to be safe!

The answer is we are hoping that OOTP12 fixes the financial budget if not then we will use the current budgets as a baseline and some winning teams will see an increase. maybe a winning record gets x% raise, winning a round in playoffs get y% raise, making world series gets z% raise and winning gets a little higher raise.
I am 99% certain there will not be a decrease in budgets for any team so no worries there.
