Description of issue
This potential bug entails an issue that appears when attempting to submit/confirm squad registration for some teams in MLS, whereby when 'clearing' the squad registration to a blank slate using the Clear Selection button, there remains a portion of squad salary that is already allocated, despite there being zero players registered (i.e. with zero players registered, the maximum squad salary tracker should read $0; but, it instead reads between 0 and 3 times the maximum MLS salary budget charge of USD $612,500). Specific teams where this issue has been noticed include Dallas, Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, Nashville, Seattle and Vancouver - this issue does not appear to occur with certain teams - these include Chicago, NYRB and Philadelphia.
Initially looking into the issue, it appears this issue might be as a result of a clash between Guaranteed DP contracts and Young/U22 DP contracts? I've noticed that in most - but not all - cases, the inflated value of the squad salary calculator is proportional to the number of regular DPs on guaranteed contracts (ie. Young DPs do not similarly inflate the calculation). In the real world, as MLS does not have minimum salary requirements unlike other leagues (such as the Canadian Premier League), this value should be $0 when zero players are registered, regardless of any other factor, as per MLS roster rules and regulations.
To reproduce the issue:
- Start a new save, setting MLS as playable
- Choose one of the aforementioned teams (Dallas, Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, Nashville, Seattle and Vancouver) to play as; there are other teams where this issue can also be replicated)
- Proceed to Squad > Overview > Registration
- Clear the squad registration to a blank state using the 'Clear Selection' button in the bottom-right
- Check the "Maximum Squad Salary of $4,900,000 p/a" checklist item (fourth from top) - if replicated, this will be one of $612K, $1.22M or $1.83M.
