I ran a 99 year sim from 1901-1999. All "progressing options" under "League Setup Options" are checked. Under "League Setup Rules" every box is checked except DH boxes. Also, "Media Contract" is based on team market size, owner decides over budget, and yes, there is revenue sharing above cash maximum. I can check career leaderboards and see many players with 6 or 7 years retiring around age 28 because no one signed them. Would a workaround be to use static financials and increase cash maximum? However, I thought free agents were supposed to adjust demands to cash available. One other possibility, the game did not update park data with the passing years and so capacities were very small therefore maybe most teams had no money at all. Most teams ended 1999 seriously in the red, although a few large market teams had surpluses.

Edit: this was setup as a fictional league.
