I am hoping that OOTP26 can address some historic league issues I am uncovering...
1. in the 1950's there is a lot of appearance and folding of minor leagues. When I moved from 1955 to 1956, about 5 leagues folded and 2-3 were added. Unfortunately, hundreds of players get auto-dropped into free agency and are not DFA'd. I cannot find a way to block this from happening and if you happened to have a good prospect in that league, your franchise loses him. My only solutions are to either move all players from those leagues/teams to another team in the organization or DFA all of the players on those teams/leagues before flipping the league to the off-season.
2. Overall team budgets are REALLY high considering the low player salaries and no free agency. After the start of the off-season, all players are signed to contracts and every team has $1-2M of budget space remaining which is enough to sign 18-36 super-star level players EACH. I cannot figure out how/where to reduce that figure through the LEAGUE FINANCES or finances.txt file. Does the "coefficient" have anything to do with it?
