So, playing in Czech Tipsport Extraliga, second year with HC PLZEN.

Something that I do not understand and it's making this unplayable.

I've got about 486k to make improvements to the team. No extensions no signings as of this moment, we're on 2nd of July. I've set my eyes on a defender and a center, one asks for 150k/year the other 155k/year. Both demand negotiation. Curiously I've canceled the negotiation, I'm not interested in moving forward I want to look for new players. Looking through my shortlist I find an alternative defender. Also 150k/year. Cannot offer as now my budget is around 126k. I ask myself, why is that, no players signed, no transactions or extensions. Wtf how does the game calculate things ????!?!?!?!

Ok something must be wrong but i need some improvements, and clearly money is not going back in my balance. No offers outstanding so it's inexplicable...

I manage to find two players to sign, one demands 22k , and gets signed, The other 60k. Of course he wants to negotiate and he wants 300k right now as he is offered more from a team in KHL. Cannot compete with that so I want to look further. Surprise now my budget is ~45k. JESUS !!! What kind of subtractions is this game doing, how does this thing work???

I've played FHM 4 in NHL but it's my first time playing a league outside NHL. So this is maybe overlooked playing in the NHL as you swap players,prospects or draft picks but here this balance is crucial !!!

From a budget of 486K to begin with I've managed to sign 2 players , one at 35k/year and one at 22k/year

Also the system is flawed as there is no way to get rid of a player with a high salary. Just buyout. As money is limited this option is absurd. The only thing you can do is put him on the trading block. Which of course does not do anything because maybe it's thought about in the NHL system. Where players et traded for other players/draft picks/prospects. Here everyone is making payments.

Any answers???
