I'm having some issues with negotiating contract salaries with players.
I've set the salary cap to $177.2m and made max contracts to $10m. All teams have started with lots of cap space to sign free agents and renegotiate higher contracts.
Yet after 3 seasons players are requesting very high salaries from me but not other teams. There are only two or three players in other teams with a salary of over $6m, I have three players over $6m, four players over $7m, and two players that earn $8m. I had players earning $5.75m in the last year of their contract say they were insulted when I offered them $8m per year.
I don't understand why players are expecting me to pay so much in salaries but not a single other team comes close to offering these amounts.
Anyone else seeing this?
