I have heard that you can do this. What if sports, in all their wisdom, wouldn't let me take over a team early. I would really prefer to keep the old owners budget.

It's an option at rollover once approved.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. The world rolled. I just went into the world and took over the team. Once the league fills and the world is approved, I'll get a notice to keep the old budget?

Mike is baby Jesus? Did not expect that?

Once would fills, can go to budget page where there will be two radio buttons - default, and previous season. Or what Mike said.

Does this work for all returning owners also or just someone that took over a new team?

Returning owners keep their previous budget and can move 4m up/down in most categories. There is no reset option.

Fun fact, when they first set up this option, the prospect budget rolled over *without* the $20M limit which meant teams could inherent additional prospect funds without the transfer penalty. Sent in a ticket. If I remember right, I only found one owner who exploited it.

Make that two. That is still the case: I was given the option of a $41 million prospect budget, and my league is accusing me of cheating. Is a $20 million prospect cap actually in the rules? This has been a huge controversy. I don't want to cheat, but WIS gave me the $41 million option.

Additionally, it did not give me the ability to adjust other categories more than $4 over the previous budgets, which meant I could only move that "extra" $21 million into coaching or players' payroll.

$20m is supposed to be the limit. Any additional money that goes into prospect is intended to be done via a transfer with a 50% penalty.

Are you saying that your starting budget is over $185m total?

No. It was a carryover budget. Get this: in the middle of the season, the commissioner of my league just had WIS TAKE the money out of my budget. This is total BS. I'm quitting and I want a refund... I need to remember how to send a ticket. Totally unfair.

What do you mean by a carryover budget? Was your total budget (including the $41m in prospect) more, less or exactly $185m?
