Al Ordonez Signed to a 5-yr deal in Season 4 for $8M/yr with a team option.  Traded a couple of times during that time, before his team in Season 7 declines his option, paying him $2M to go away.  The same team that signed him in Season 4 decides to sign him again in Season 8, for $1.8M/yr for two years, again with a team option.  That team DFA's him and I claim him.On the finance page for the team that declined his option (Trenton), you see the $2M they paid.On the finance page for the team that signed him to each contract (Kansas City), you see the $8M that he would have been paid this season, wiped out because they traded him away.  You then see Al's name again for the $1.8M that the team was supposed to pay him this year, minus the prorated amount for the remainder of the season, which I am paying.  Fine.Al's player card shows that his salary is $1,917,530.  On my finance page, his name shows up twice, each time for $958,765 (half of the salary listed on his card), which is the prorated amount of his $1.8M contract.  So I'm paying the balance of his $1.8M yearly salary twice.  Why?  Am I missing something, or did WIS screw up?

*crickets*

That's a post of densely packed information to digest on a Friday afternoon.

I come here to get away of "real" thinking. :)

Yeah, and there's nothing to really argue about.

Okay, fine... you've baited me.....

What salary shows up on your GM page? The $1.8M?

I'm wondering if there's some funny fallout due to him kind of having two "Season 8" salaries....?

In the GM Office, it shows his $1.8M salary that sergei signed him to.

His player card shows the $1,917,530.

My finance page shows his name twice, both times for $958,765.

That has to be an accounting error on WIS's part related to the display of the buyout/new contract for this season.

Or, fire your team's financial advisor.

Crap, I think I'm the financial advisor.

This thread has given me a headache.

i blame nj

Me too, he's an ***.

After having no luck in finding an answer via the forums, I sent in a ticket on 1/22, basically just cutting and pasting my first post from this thread, minus the "did WIS screw up" part. On 1/26, I update the ticket, because the double salary has me over my budget, and while I'm not being forced to move money around, I can't work a trade without moving money into player salary. I eventually had to transfer money from prospect to player salary in order to work out a trade with another owner.

Has anyone ever had a ticket go this long? It's been over a week since I first sent it in, and five days since I updated it. To me, that's a substantial amount of time.

I recently had a ticket open (and unanswered) for about 6-8 weeks or so. It was just a question that wasn't really all that important, but I intentionally it open without a followup to see if it would ever be answered.

It never was.

I finally closed it, without comment, because I got tired of checking.
