Fuhgeddabout the SIX times you may have heard about. Games are simmed at 11am, 7pm, and 3am Eastern time.
Even though the 11am time is clearly in the morning, it's considered the pm cycle. 7pm is pm2, and 3am is the am cycle.

Has anyone figured this out?

JM, yes I set it last night. It is $80 mil for payroll - about double the current committed salary. I have 4 arbitration eligible guys, I'd like to sign 2 to long-term deals so that will eat some cash.

You're going to have a very hard time being competetive this season with an $80 mil payroll, unless you have a ton of minor league, ML-ready quality talent. You'll be competing against franchises with $100-$105 mil payrolls this season. My suggestion would be to focus on developing your young talent and look to be competetive in 1-2 years. If you have some strong veteran talent, sign those guys and then use them as trade bait to score some rookie talent.

I think Kyle and Tom are retiring with all of their profits from this damn game.

The "Prospect Payroll" is for bonuses....everyone else gets level pay. So figure 25 guys @ the ML minimum you won't possibly need more than $8m for that even if you called everyone up. In other words, don't overcompensate.

you'll also need to move people up within the system to higher minor-league levels. it does add up after a while.

A lot of those guys will go straight to rookie ball, so that'll be less than $100K for the lot of them. If you've got a top-10 pick, you might get a guy who wants a ML contract ... in the beta world, I signed a Type A free agent and lost my first-round pick, so I can't tell you from experience.
