Arbitration Issue

Super Utility Guy · 08-26-2014, 09:30 PM

Not sure if anyone else has encountered this issue or not, but I've noticed that after I play a season that on the "Arbitration" screen it doesn't show a dollar amount which the player is requesting, it only shows "zero". I have to type in an amount and submit it which I never had to do in prior versions or patches. Is this something new in the latest patch?

I find this happens a lot when the arbitration eligible player, spent the entire season in the minors. Is that what you're talking about? Or is it all the players?

I've noticed that as well. It happens when I have a reserve roster player who is arb eligible in my historical league. The other players on the arb screen had dollar values associated with them.

The number is an estimate (of what you could submit to the arbiter), not the player's demand. I'm curious, is there still an arbitration estimate in the player's "contract & status" screen, or is that blank too?

I see $0 sometimes, along with values for other players.

Those seem to be for players that the AI thinks you shouldn't be offering arbitration to.
