OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Negotiating with Draft Picks / The "Impossible" Rating

What I found is that 1) there are two types of impossible players, and 2) a person that is impossible when viewed from one team, might not be so when viewed from another. That's spread over 15, 18, and 19, so I can't vouch that both are exactly true for each version.

As far as the first point, my experience has been that a player who is "impossible" that has a dollar amount for a demand can be signed if the correct offer is made. That amount for me has turned out to be 50-100% of the demand. This was only on a handful of picks, so it's certainly possible some players have much higher requirements.

Otoh, an impossible player with no dollar amount, seems as if he can't be signed. Whether it's working as intended or meant to be difficult to do, it seems easy to cause that type of pick to refuse all negotiations. I've also lost players like that. I think it's reasonable to suppose that the same player might have signed with another team, had I not drafted them.
