OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Same as last year, sign a free agent only to lose them to waivers days later

all excellent information again.

Thanks. And I'm not in dispute at all. In fact, that's more or less what I was at least attempting to say all along (And apparently not interpreting myself correctly initially).

I merely noticed on his video he posted later that his waivers window showed "(Irrevocable)". Which on my sims, I have not seen. Given, I don't play franchise on present day, like I said earlier, I prefer pre-2000 seasons when playing offline. So that might just be me and my situational play playing differently in historical mode vs 2010+ seasons.

But all I do know is the devs that responded to Haubs' initial post said they can't figure out what was wrong. I've tried as well. We've gotten some details, and I'm trying to continue that search to get more to try to help these players figure out why it's doing it.

In your extensive post, you list ways that it could be happening. Again, like I said earlier on, AI trying to intuit things, which is why I tried pointing Haubs toward league options settings versus this possibly being a "bug". I'm still trying. Feel free with your extensive knowledge to assist them as well, we all welcome your much greater OOTP experience here, in helping find a solution since you quite clearly know very well what you're talking about.

additionally:
"Roster Management" Problem is a "waiver" problem. Waivers are one part of a larger roster management. either way, the AI needs a better intuitive logic when handling roster management. That's exactly why my very first response in this thread was "what are your league settings? Is the AI handling your transaction management?" (or something to that effect).
And trying to get a computer to think intuitively is the biggest challenge in computer programming. When AI start thinking intuitively, we'll live in a radically different world than we live in today. Cheers.

That's my goal here. Finding a solution to the problem. The information on how the processes work are wonderful, but they don't offer a solution to help the developers or the players make it function correctly. Show us all in OOTP where the setting is that will help us fix it so the players are not so frustrated. They've been posting this for years, and as you said yourself, it's been a problem for a long time.

So lets all work together to fix it. We can have the "why" talk elsewhere. Lets get their problem fixed for now. Thank you for your very in-depth details, they are greatly appreciated. I hope they help everyone find a solution to this topic. I can't.
