I thought it did change last time?
I probably just thought that because of the fluctuations in salary though.

Salary cap remains the same at 43.8 million.
Likewise, all maximum and minimum values you can set contracts remain the same, and the MLE/LLE remain the same, value wise.

Okay, me again. How does the offseason work with free agents already on rosters?
Say AI is a free agent after this year. You've mentioned that FA's, if they want to stay, will make an offer to their previous employer. Does this occur like a day before actual free agency? If I'd like to bid on AI, will I have to wait until the team decides on AI's offer? Do most star FA's submit offers to their previous team? (n.b. I know that a FA would get an extra year and a higher % increase each year from the previous team, so odds are against me anyway.)
Just curious about this, because if I decide to make a couple trades to have room next season, I don't want to be left with a bunch of cap room and no prospective FA's to sign. Thanks.

And that leads to another question... Is there any such thing as Restricted Free Agency? Will I be allowed to have JRich shop for offers, and then match them. Or will I have to accept his offer, to make sure he stays.
And in what time frame does he make that offer to the team? Because that makes a huge difference in capspace availablity...

Offers by upcoming free agents are made at the end of the regular season. Decisions are due after the playoffs. We then go to the draft, then free agency.
And no, there is no restricted free agency. You can't match an offer. The only thing bird years does is allows you to give them max contracts even if you're over the cap.

Before FA day 1, if AI wanna to resign with you then he will give you how much he wants and for how many years. If he don't wanna to resign with you then you will have to bids on him again. It depends on if AI is greed, loyalty, and play for winner. Players with high greed will most likely demand a hugh contract if he wants to resign with you, or he can go into the FA market. Loyalty players are most likely to resign with you. Play for winner means he wants to play for a team that can win. |

So, in the theoretical scenario I created, if the Sixers choose not to resign AI by the end of the playoffs, can they still bid on him during the free agency period and give him the 7 year, 12.5%-increase offer, or is that only done during the previous period? (which would, in essence, give the Sixers 2 separate attempts to try to resign AI) |

Wow... We have 10% and 12.5% raises, but the salary cap is held steady at 43 million? Long deals are incredibly costly then...

You don't have to raise any %. You can make a flat contract.
But yes, longterm deals are costly. Giving out long-term deals to mediocre players is a quick way to spell doom.
Of course, this is also true in real life. Look at the Sixers, for example. Locking up Greg Buckner, Eric Snow, Aaron McKie and Kenny Thomas has done wonders.

Or look at my team Jalen Rose, Jerry Stackhouse, Ira Newble and Tariq Abdul-Wahad.

True Dabods... (Hops here) Snow, McKie, Buckner, badness... KT, so so, not horrible, and not the greatest contract in the world. My mind will likely change in 3 years though.. lol But in this sim, there is no upper limit for salary, is there? Unlike real life (aka cheap owner). Every team can become the Knicks...  |

Yes, every team can become the knicks.
There's actually an updated version of FBB, that I have as well. That took into play owners. Each team is assigned an owner, and each owner is different on how much he cares about winning, or about profits.
Each person can then set ticket price based on how loyal the fans are and how they are winning. You then raise the ticket prices, while still maintaining sold out stadiums. By generating more revenue, the following year the owner might set a higher budget.
I decided not to use this one because, while a little more involved, could create some unfair situations for teams. Some owners set a total budget as low as 46 million, while others can go as high as 70 million. it just doesn't create a level playing field.
