In turn, allowing the commissioner and/or owners to control the free market system themselves and not the formula. The cash on hand and budget room of the owners would then determine the supply and demand itself, instead of the formula (which seems to be more irregular than ever in OOTP 13).
In two of the leagues I play, the commissioner doesn't even control a team on a regular basis, so what's it hurt to actually give them "more" options and/or control over their league than less.

I think that's a fair and simplistic way to put it, and I think it would be great if the Dev team to give more control options to commissioners, so if they want more simplistic bidding or whatever, it's available.
It does seem that this is far different from the thread title and initial, though of "More Broken Than Ever," and I'd suggest that's why things ran up against a bit of a wall here midway through.
The other issue of course is that we don't have all the answers behind the curtain so we're just guessing. It seems that most people don't see the same issue overall with how free agency works (or at least don't see this issue as very significant), so even just for my own interest, I'd like to see more examples. Obviously, this league looked at it more closely, but that can be good, but it can also lead to trying to draw conclusions from examples that don't necessarily fit the problem or are very minor ones.
