very minor contract negotiation message improvement

jmknpk2 · 03-30-2011, 09:32 AM

I just received a free-agency negotiation email:

"I think your minor league offer is very insulting to my intelligence. I have played in Venezuela Baseball League and know that I have what it takes to contribute on a professional club. If you don't think so, I can't help that, but I can go on to greener pastures."

However, the player then signed a minor league contract with a different club. So, the Negotiation Update didn't really seem real or make sense. While such a message would be appropriate if the player did sign a major league contract elsewhere, if he signed a minor league deal elsewhere, the message should have been something along the lines of:

"I have reviewed your offer of a minor league contract and have decided that other teams have more to offer to me in their farm system."

1 of the oddities of OOTP 11. contract negotiations r bewildering to us all. Wait til u offer a contract and he wants more money but still wants the same amount u offered him then signs with another team for $1 less.

Or I've had cases where a player has his demands. I click meet his demands, then offer contract, and he come back 2 days later being all insulted about my low offer, and how he can barely feed his family on 13M a year.

I agree that would be frustrating but things that aren't realistic is where the editor comes in handy.
