I personally really appreciate a database that reflects reality as much as possible. There are always plenty of database options if you want to play fantasy saves with pro-rel. We don’t yet have enough mechanisms that enable dynamism among clubs in North America to make pro-rel saves particularly interesting IMO. Unless you remove all MLS rules and go pure fantasy.

Nope, not doing anything tactically (no high pressing) or in training out of the ordinary, I haven't had injury issues this bad in 20 years of FM. Bizarre.

Anyone experiencing an absurd amount of injuries on the new patch/release? I loaded up the April release with the latest FM patch on two separate saves. First season on each save saw 14 and 11 first teamers out with injuries at the same time, respectively. I love a challenge, and really like the idea that this might help counter the wildly OP aggressive pressing tactics, but this has all but wrecked both saves.

Hartford Athletic. I see the traditional wage budget which you can technically raise by transferring transfer budget over, but I assume this will be enforced when registering players for the league. I ended up freeing up over $1.1 Million in the wage budget (only 600K on the books), and still couldn't offer more than $14.75K a year, so clearly something is amiss. I did a few test saves in other leagues after this and haven't had any problems. I couldn't see anything particularly out of whack when looking at the club in the editor (having loaded your file) and the club finances were fine, nothing looked wrong when checking the club with the in-game editor either. The only small detail that may have looked odd was when I looked at contract types for USLC (Star player, Important, etc...) they didn't have a categorization (full time, part time, amateur, etc...). Not sure if that has any impact. I also used the "Real World" setting when trying this save, not sure if that might've thrown a wrench in the works. Also thanks again for all the hard work you've put into this, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining one bit. I've never run into this issue before in 20 years of FM, so I'm trying to get the bottom of it. EDIT: Tested this using the original game mode, still have the same problem. So it isn't a problem with future transfers coming in and out.

@themodelcitizen I'm now on my third attempt trying to manage a USL Championship side with this file and I'm largely unable to sign anyone. I've freed up $900K in salary cap space and nearly every player I approach gives me the "I would be willing/very interested to join the club in general, but I feel the club lacks the financial muscle to met his contract demands". I have a GK that is on $150K/year, but the most I've been able to offer was $14K/year. I couldn't even cover the full loan of a player on $24K/year. Something seems broken here. Is there something that is severely limiting the salaries I'm able to offer? Has anyone run into this issue on a USL Championship save?
