Hi everyone, I started a career as Androni Giocatolli, i´m a little bit past half season and have found a problem with trasnfers. So the team decided to increase the budget for next year from 108k to 135k due to this season performance. In salaries I got around 40k extra, so I decided to resign my contract ending riders, add two or three more team mates and bring 3 big names (big for our team).
Now, the problem I have is that currently i've hired riders for 68.5k total and acording to the trasnfers interface, i still have 66.5k left for next season. But, when I try to sign another rider, the contract message says that I dont have any money left. I did the math in a piece of paper and everything should be running my way but it doesn't.
Any one knows what can I do to fix this? is there a way to edit de data base so that I can force the game to sing them, I mean, they agreed and I'm shure that I got the budget.
Pls help, I really want to fix this, had such a great plan.
EDIT: I realized that if I sign any of the riders I want or another one with a salasy higher tha 5k, I'll go over my current salary budget wich is 84k.

If you still want to transfer the remaining riders, you can do this by waiting till the transfer season ends and then move the riders to your team in the Dyn_Cyclist column simply by changing the team to your team.
Then go to dyn_cyclist_contracts and edit the wage in the Period Wage column to the wage that you agreed on in the negotiations. In dyn_cyclist_contracts you can also edit the lenght of the contract.
I recommend using the Fast Editor for this as it is more intuitive.
I don't have PCM 18, but in all previous versions the amount you can spend isn't tied to the new budget you can expect for next season but the salaries you are currently paying. Which makes no sense, especially if you start with a weak team and are working your way up. My personal workaround is to use an editor at the start of the transfer season to increase the salary of one of my riders, have him earn 100,000 instead of 10,000. When you load that save, you'll immediately see you can spend a lot more. But now it's up to you to not go crazy and keep the budget for next season in mind.
I had the same problem. As far as I figured out: the problem is that the salary for your scouts, coaches and physicians is counted towards the salary cap.
So try to change the contract end for your personnel to the end of this season and extend their contracts (or get some new staff) after you signed all riders for the next season.
For me this works fine.
Thank you all for your answers, the editor solutions might be useful. As of what kandesbunzler26 said, I think that issue was solved with one of the updates, but I still get like a 4-5k portion of the budget that I cannot use and it would be crucial to sign a younster or a decent teammate.
Any way, your answers were very enlightening, thanks again.
