Wow, talk about out of balance. Just a handful of expensive vets, and everyone else is a kid or a vet I managed to sign for cheap.

On this note I did notice something interesting that may deal with loyalty and greed. In a SL game I was playing I was close to my budget and Joe Mauer was looking for about 8 million for 4 years when I only had about 9 million in cap room. I then did some things and a week later the demand shot up to 13.5 million because I now had much more cap room. Maybe that is a little of what you are experiencing.
