So are we going to set Karachi to auto pick so that the IBL can draft before Thursday?
I have and have had tons and tons of cash in every ootp league I have ever been in. (Since 2003) I personally believe that it's in the coding. Capping cash at a much lower amount is the only thing I could see working easily.
I am having a problem seeing how it's a good idea to limit a team from being able to resign their own players. The only thing that should limit a team on who they can resign or sign in free agency is their budget.
I was the one leading the offers for Cantinho at $19m. My hope was that everyone would withdraw their offers (which I believe they did) and then I withdrew mine and offered him at around $10m. It worked (he favored the offer) until we talked about it on the chat and people looked into it more.
Andy, something's out of synch with Cantinho. I made him an offer on Day 1 of free agency, and have continued to make offers to him every day since then. I've never withdrawn an offer. I offered him $20 million a year last night. If he went back to asking for $10 million, something is fouled up. I've been offering him more than that for the past several sims. (Not that he seems to care ...)
One thing I'm wondering is if the idea to "arbitrate" salaries for Years 3-5 helps not only with available cash in the league but also causes extensions after Year 5 to be more reasonably priced. Basically maybe Scoops doesn't sign for $7.25M per year on his extension if he just finished making $6M for the last season based on his 7.2 WAR in his 4th year (or whatever the formula ends up making the Year 5 salary). I would think their demands may be higher if they weren't coming off the $200K salary.
There is a feature in the settings where you can play with how much different levels of players should expect in their deals. I don't know how much effect it actually has, but I guess that would be another idea to fix it.
