How do you cancel a free agent offer?

peacefrogdog · 11-02-2012, 10:34 PM

I accidentally offered a free agent a contract that I didn't mean to offer. It ended up being his asking price which is a crazy amount to offer.

Is there a way to withdraw or cancel the offer?

I don't believe that there is a way to pull back offers.

In the free agent page there's a link called standing offers or something like it (at the top of the page), click it. You'll get to a page listing all your free agent contract offers. To the right there will be a withdraw button.

I think that may be for the desktop version of the game. I do not see the standing offers link in the mobile version.

I have never found a way to cancel either a free agent offer or a contract extension offer in iOOTP. A while ago, I believe that someone asked and the general consensus was "a card laid is a card played".

In real life, don't teams put a time limit on their free agent offers? IIRC in iOOTP, some primo free agents do not make up their minds until at or near the opening of spring training. During that time, the offering team cannot (sensibly) make a similar big offer to another player at the same position.

If in real life there are time limits, as surely must be true, maybe that should be a feature in iOOTP. Maybe all offers could automatically expire in X weeks or by a certain date, perhaps in February.

I like the time limit idea. Maybe it could be an option when offering the contract so the player can have some control over the time limit.

I also think the time it takes big name free agents to make up their minds need to be reduced. Most big free agents sign very quickly and don't miss Spring Training due to not being signed (I have seen this in iOOTP).
