I've always considered the arbitration system within OOTP broken. In real life both the player and the team submit a number and the arby panel must decide between the two numbers presented. They can't arrive at a compromise number. This forces the two sides to be realistic in their demands or risk losing the arbitration process. In addition, I believe teams can back out of the contract even after arbitration is awarded to the player by cutting him and paying a nominal severance fee. Within OOTP, I've made counter offers and then had the number be assigned in excess of the players original demands. As a result I now either pay the demand or cut the player, but I don't make counter offers.
