Why does the current system have to be so needlessly complicated and have demand windows that change as free agency goes on and have players who don't remember that a team was willing to give them more two months ago?
Because in RL people change their demands as time goes on so that is realistic. Why do we have to change FA just to suit you? Sometimes people don't always do what is best for them, you just have to deal with it. There is a reason!

This not only makes LOGICAL SENSE for all leagues in general, but it assists GREATLY with online leagues who have a limited number of sims during the offseason and members who can't afford to plan their offseason around a player who may or may not end up with more reasonable demands after every other player has already signed.
Again why should we change the way FA just to suit the online leagues that sim days at a time. You chose to sim days at a time so you have to deal with the problems that will cause with FA, otherwise don't sim days at a time.

So if i offer a FA that contract and he declines at first why would i give him the same deal 3 months later when half the season is over, This doesn't make sense at all.

Change the whole game to suit the online players, makes perfect sense
