Had to turn off owner controls budget because it NERFS the AI teams budget so bad it is completely out of control and it might not be a bug/glitch but it certainly isn't a good game mechanic the way it is implemented.
Owner goals.... I am sorry but they are a joke. Half the time they make absolutely no sense. Again it might not be a bug/glitch but the mechanic is so simple and basic its borderline broken when you play each version of OOTPb repeatedly.

+1 to all these. I turn all these off, along with random league rule changes and expansions. I was done with owner goals a couple of years back, when I got a request to up attendance to 25,000 a game or so and my stadium only held 21,000.
There are a lot of 'features' like this that were added over the years, minor league managing is another one, that weren't well thought out and haven't been worked on. They've just sat there for years and years like some kind of code appendix, not doing anything useful and occasionally screwing things up.
I wonder how many potential new players OOTP has lost over the years with the flaky 'manage a minor league team' option? It's often the first job offer you get. IMO one thing the new ownership could do is streamline the offline game a bit and get rid of all that superfluous junk. I'm not expecting much from them, though.
OOTP is good at what it does, but a challenging offline game is not what it is made to do. Creating a challenging game with good AI teams - that has to be done by the player with a good league setup. There's no obvious way to do that with the basic OOTP settings.
