$0 Contract

CalgaryCannons · 03-05-2013, 11:39 PM

Playing as the Calgary Flames I just negotiated the transfer of Karri Ramo from his Russian team and then accepted his requested contract terms ($925,000 for 1 year). A few days later he accepted the offer and it is showing him on a $0 contract.

Obviously this will help my salary cap but something has gone wrong here. When doing the contract negotiations I just hit the "Accept Demands" button (I can't remember the actual wording) and then changed the role to Backup instead of Normal Player.

Even worse playing as the Mooseheads in QMJHL. I looked at the number 1 player in upcoming draft and signed him to a contract by mistake. (I clicked offer contract, but never actually tried to meet demands or anything.)

I then repeated this by signed a player who was under contract to another QMJHL team.

Notes:

-Did this before pre-season started.

Steps Taken:

1. Found player and clicked his profile.
2. Actions -> Offer Contract
3. Backed out of menu.

A day later I received notice he signed his contract and is now on my team!

I am the BEST GM EVER! :P

Something's definitely going horribly wrong with the way major junior teams are treating contract rights, that'll be high on the priority list for a fix.

The Ramo thing, I don't think I've heard of yet. I'll get that added to the bug tracker.

Edit: I just found the cause of the QMJHL player rights being ignored: there's an incorrect setting in the league rules. The next data update will fix it.
