I set personal limits. I just buy budget because A) the budget system is a little screwy at the best of times, B) I have nothing else to spend the massive stockpile of stubs I've accumulated on. C) Ignore budget alone doesn't solve the problem. At least it didn't in previous iterations. It just ignores budgets for trades, NOT free agents or the off season. D) I don't want to do 30 team control, mainly because I've already invested three years real time into my current franchise. Not starting a new one.

I still haggle with free agents and I run the team as if every dollar I save is a dollar I can spend later (or pocket, I am trying to run a business here). I only throw my financial weight around when it makes sense to do so. I just went through an off season where I trimmed a significant amount of salary despite having a nearly 600 mil budget plus 50k in stubs in reserve. My personal limit was 350, and I managed to get well under that and prepare for the future.
