There is plenty of info in that thread. But I believe you take the weekly budget and times it by 26. Page 4 has some good info.

I really, really, really, really hope they return the budget to the old form in '18. The way it is done now is far too confusing.

It seems like with the budget change to weekly and the scouting changed to a scale of 1 to 8 they have made the game less user friendly and unnecessarily complicated.

Is this something that can be turned off all together?

Yes.

There is an option when setting up a new franchise to IGNORE BUDGETS.

I have to be honest, there are so many absurd comments in the thread linked above. It's one thing when people are genuinely trying to figure how things work, and then it's another thing entirely when people don't love a new feature so they act like it doesn't work and must be replaced with the old feature.

So lets review some facts....athletes get weekly or bi-weekly paychecks. You do not receive a check for $5 million on the same business day that you sign a 1 year/$5 million contract. By the same token, a team that acquires a player who is on a 1 year/$5 million contract does not pay him his salary for April, May, June, or July if they acquire him in August.

The new budgeting helps simulate more realistic conditions surrounding personel decisions throughout the league. If your team sucks and you have big contracts, you're supposed to dump them for future considerations, temporary salary relief, and get your cash flows up to ensure that business isn't a total loss for the season. If your team is unexpectedly good and is operating soundly, you're supposed to invest in good talent that is on bad teams to help you get into the playoffs and beyond (which equals additional revenue as well). The weekly budget system creates more urgency for these moves to happen.

And for everyone whining about how the money and your bank goes away? Bruh..you get a cut of that in additional revenue the following year which depends on how many wins you have. So if you win the World Series and you had no money in the bank...don't expect your budget to go up next year. Baseball is about business, and you can run the coolest business in the world, but if you don't make any money, you won't be around long.
