Bump, I am playing mostly online in OOTP 17, did this make it in?
Also, one more thing whether it did or not:
FREE AGENT MARKET RECOGNITION
Free agents are still sticking to their initial demands way too long and those demands aren't coming down quickly enough. We're in spring training of our league and several free agents still haven't signed because they don't recognize the money they're asking for isn't out there. I am completely okay with the fact that when they do come down they insist on one year contracts only. That's realistic as they are "thinking" that they deserve more but it's a down year and they can get more next offseason.
But it shouldn't take so long for their demands to come down. This is one aspect I would really like to see improved. As I said
here the game seems to be coded where the free agents will begin lowering their demands when preseason starts. That's way too late, this should be changed to the Winter Meetings or January 1st, whichever comes first. If not sooner.
And yes, I know this situation sort of conflicts with the above. But if the guy in my initial post in this thread had contacted me, it would have been a PERFECT negotiation. If all free agents recognized the market as quickly as he did, then negotiated properly by giving a heads up as to their new demands if we've offered them, man. That would be amazing and extremely immersive.
