In ootp18, I went to my money screen on July 2 and it says that I have $23M more or less for free agent signings. I switch over to the international free agents and make an offer to one for $3M. No problem. When I try to make another offer, I am told I am over budget. Is this a change from ootp17?

Please advise.
Due to the 2017 changes to the CBA, the International Amateur Budget is hard capped at $5 million per season. This means you can only spend up to $5 million and there are no more penalties for going over the cap since that is no longer possible.
