Well, if I had a $10M payroll in S1, let's assume I maxed out everything else during budget setting (and then transferred, since $25M is the minimum you can budget to player payroll to start a season, and even if you maxed everything else you could only get to $23M).

Now, in S2, I reduce everything as much as possible in order to jack up payroll.

Medical $20M becomes $16M, so +$4M.
Training $20M becomes $16M, so +$4M.
Advanced Scouting $20M becomes $16M, so +$4M.
Int'l Scouting $20M becomes $16M, so +$4M.

Same for Domestic College and High School, so +$8M

That's a $24M increase, so payroll can be $47M so far ($23M min + $24M increase).

Coaches go from $20M (max) to $6M minimum, so that's +$14M.
Prospects go from $20M (max) to $6M minimum, so that's another $14M. 

$47M + $28M = $75M payroll budget max.

So yea, I'm curious where you got that additional $35M from to get to a payroll budget of $110M in one season during set budget time.

By my calculations, it takes less than 10m to fill a roster, including minor leagues, per WifS minimum standards.  So, in S15, I run less than a 10m payroll.   In S16, I run a 179m payroll.   Math says that's 169m+.

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were talking about changing the budget, as opposed to the payroll. My bad. Although, you couldn't get to $179M player budget anyway, since both coaching and prospect budgets have minimums of $6M.

Oops, my bad.  I forgot coaching.   Can't zero that out or have it at 4m.    Still far exceeds 100m.
