Re: Franchise Mode, 'extension dollars remaining' different from next year cap space

It's been four weeks, and I can't even get a single response? Wow. The problem is now even worse; I'm now in the 2019-2020 season, and although it says my 'projected spent' for 2020-2021 is $68M, my 'extension dollars remaining' is only $2.4M. That's literally $9M in cap space that's just vanished into thin air.

    I think you were correct with what you thought previously, while the nhl cap is a certain amount, small market teams have a lower personal cap and it seems to limit resigning to that amount.
  • It's not that. For one thing, I picked the Leafs; there's no bigger market in the NHL. And secondly, both the owner's cap allotment and the regular cap is specifically displayed under Player Salaries Budget.

    I don't think I'm ever going to get an answer to this, and it's absolutely ridiculous that I can't even get a single person from EA to reply to this topic after two months.

  • By asking if Horton is still on my roster, that shows you didn't even bother to read past the first sentence of my post. In fact, the answer is literally in the very next sentence:

    "Before I started it, I moved Nathan Horton and Joffrey Lupul to Free Agents, as there's no LTIR in NHL 18."

    I'm honestly not trying to be a * or be snarky, but before responding to a bug report, you should read the entire thing. Or at LEAST past the first sentence.

    Edit: Went on a rant there, hopefully nobody saw.

    Problem lies with how future years salaries are reported. They're misreported during the season, then is corrected during the re-signing phase. You'll see you can spend to the cap during the re-signing phase but you'll have a hard time accounting for it during your contract negotiations during the year, so just wait until the re-signing phase for the next season.
