[Can't offer full wage amount when renewing contracts]

What date is it in game? Would expect if you advance forward a bit towards the next season the range should open up a bit - before their contracts expire.

If they don't, upload your save game and let us know the file name so we can investigate - https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/538431-how-to-upload-files-to-us/

I am running a custom database, I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue uploading a save? I am fairly confident it's not the database though, as I've been using it for a while.

In terms of dates, I'm into the next season already and it hasn't changed the situation. Here's an example:

This is a current player, status 'Important player', when I try to renew his deal. He wants 475 and I can offer 325 max.

 

This is a free agent, also set to 'Important player' in negotiations, and i can offer up to 2.2k.

 

I've tested a little further, simmed halfway through the season and the result was the same. However, when I used the editor to put my club 5m in profit and increase the wage budget (as mentioned before, i'm in the red at the moment) I can offer everyone the same.  So it seems to be related to my budget, but still just not sure why the amount is different between the two? Thanks for the replies, everyone!

[Can't offer full wage amount when renewing contracts]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something, but:

I'm not able to offer the same wages to my players when renewing their contracts as I am to new signings.

New signings I can offer up to $2.5k a week, whereas offering new contracts seems to be capped at whatever the player's current wage is.

I've just been promoted and my wage budget was increased from 10k p/w to 25k p/w, significantly increasing the amount I could offer but I'm not able to use that extra to keep my current players. My club is about 700k in the red, but surely if that was the issue my wage amount would be reduced for everyone?

Anyone ever seen this before? Help greatly appreciated as this seems game-breaking if it's a bug!

Throwing in my 2 cents on the tactic. I finished 5th as 1860 Munich in the Bundesliga, predicted 16th, lowest wage budget in the league, and without a particularly outstanding squad. Massive overachievement! I was using the 1.2 tactic for this whole season. 

I just followed Fuss' suggestions for each position when making signings. I did find that I lost the possession battle in most games but still tended to do well. I struggled most against sides that sat back and defended and forced me to try and break them down, though this could be more to do with the quality of my attackers! Anyway, fantastic tactic and I'm already excited to try the new version in the new season! Cheers, Fuss!
