My team is not good (currently 8th in a twelve team league), fan support is tied for last (59, with the three highest tied at 64), budget is 9th and money available for signings is 8th. The league is awash in money, with my team for example having 58% of its budget unspent. I have not noticed any other teams' signings. It's hard enough for me to keep track of my own team. Note that this is a legacy league begun under version 2006, so I don't know if that's having an influence.

I very briefly tried to do a 2008 Mets MLB league in Version 9, in which the first thing I did was announce an open tryout. I offered every free agent a minor league contract to try out with me, regardless of what they were asking. My result was that every player who wasn't asking for money showed up, along with four of those who did want cash. One of the ones who came was asking more than the minimum. I couldn't tell you how many players were involved, but you could try it for yourself.
