If you really believe this, then why would I not just set the expected Superstar salaries to something like $100,000 in the league settings? Then all my GMs could lowball everybody they wanted. Is it so hard to believe that we 1) enjoy our OOTP league, and 2) are legitimately trying to improve Free Agency by making a suggestion and sharing our league experiences?

And, for the dozenth time, we're AWARE that it's working as intended. But just because something is designed one way does not preclude the possibility that there is a superior alternative - we can agree on this one conceit, yes?


When all is said and done, I even said way back in my first post that simply adding the ability for the commissioner to edit a player's demands would allow me to keep the handful of players we experience this issue with each offseason in check. Then the free agency system you think so much of would go untouched, and we'd have ourselves a workaround!

But instead of discussion and compromise we're getting "our way or the highway" from a couple posters and it's not very apparent what we've done to deserve that reaction. There is a constructive way to disagree, and then there is calling the opposition zealots. I'm in no way a forums regular, but I appreciate those of you in this thread that have opted for the former.
