Offer sheets

[Toozino]

hey, i was starting a game in the preseason and i was trying to send an offer sheet to an RFA, when i look at options i can only set him on my shortlist? do I gotta wait closer to the season to do so? or is there something am missing? maybe am not clear on the rules, it was to pietrangelo, thanks

[jwinn66]

Good question. Having the same problem here.

[corwinofamber]

ditto

[jwinn66]

Does anyone have any info on this?

[jwinn66]

ANy response on this yet? I want to make a run at some players.

Currently Offer sheets are not an option in the game.

If an NHL team has rights to a player, no other NHL team can sign him. In real life teams have to give up draft picks, the number of draft picks depending on the amount the players signs for. This chart is the compensation as of 2012, I don't think it has changed in the latest CBA but I could be wrong. As you will see the amount you'd have to give Alex would be in the 4.5 and over range which can be quite steep. Most teams would not be willing to give up this much especially since they are so close to the cap, so I don't really see it being a priority for the dev team at this point.

But I do hope they can correct it in the first version to get the system in place. It is rare but we still see offer sheets being handed out in the past. (niklas hjalmarsson) and we are likely to see it again next year when teams get more cap space.

It would be nice as well to be able to sign other teams staff to contracts as well, as long as it is a promotion for them. (Example, DET Assistant GM goes to Dallas and becomes GM...DET had given permission as they always will but only if it is not for the same title they held with their current team)

What an absurd statement. Having game mechanics that work as in the real world not being a priority?!

That shows you how far this game must go still. So, yes it is an accurate statement for the time. Perhaps it will be addressed in the next update or the one after the next but the (game breaking) bugs must be worked out and should take priority.

I cannot seem to offer RFAs an offer sheet, specifically players with rights belonging to other teams.

No players listed under " RFA " tab in the Free Agent Centre.

Is this a bug ? Or an omission that will be fixed ?
Thanks

Did you even read anything in this thread at all??? Dave1927p completely answered this above! Asking questions is fair, but if your not even going to read the responses in a thread about your question, you can't expect many responses to your question, in my opinion.

Are fanboy shills still beating the drum here? Jesus.

How is he a fanboy? The OP asked a great question that was answered. Then Mike had a lazy moment and didn't bother reading a single post in this thread before asking the same thing. yzerwing just told the truth... i sure wasn't going to spend my time to respond to Mike. Still to mike's credit, at least he didn't make a new thread on the thing.

General fanboy call out, got to do it once in a while. While we are on that topic, seriously you told someone in another post that the patch prior to this fixed a lot of the stuff. Shilling like a pro man.

Then you dish out this gem "I don't understand why anyone should get a refund". You really don't understand or are you shilling overtime. You are a true huckster.

What in the hell is a " Fanboy " anyway ? I messed up, missed the answer right in front of me. Yikes !

You must be from a different generation from me because I don't understand a single word you kept calling me plus your sense of entitlement and arrogance is incredible.

I've played each patch that was publicly released and the last two are the most significant to date. It did improve the game quite a bit, that's my view on it. Did I ever say they fixed everything? Most certainly not. There is still a ton of work for this game to be up to par.

Believe it or not, but I play these sort of games differently than some other people so my idea of improvement could vary from person to person. A minor feature corrected for me could mean more than to someone else. For example, I sim all the games, at this point I could careless what sort of text they add in that part...but to others it means everything and anything short is a huge disappoint with each passing patch.

Regarding the refund, call me old fashioned but when I purchase something, I do my research. I try and find out all the information I can on a product and than make a decision if I should buy or not. Also you are taking quotes of mine and disregarding other more important info. But I wouldn't expect anything different from you at this point.

I see FHM as an investment. I desperately want the v2 and v3 game. If you bother reading more of my past comments you would see that i'm not overly thrilled by the first version but I do appreciate the effort and most importantly their vision. I want to see it succeed and I really hope it does.

Either way, I don't think i'm going to bother replying to any other of your posts unless you can come up with some more thought out things to say other than calling people out as "fanboys" when you have a difference in opinion and taking quotes out of context. It's just too childish for me.

Yeah, haha we all have those braincramp moments from time to time.

Fanboy is anyone who could not be wronged by whatever it is they are supporting, and they'll support it to an unhealthy level with an unparalleled arrogant view...they think that only their view on something is the right one. some peoples views of a fanboy can vary but overall they will bend on over and spread their cheeks nice and wide for their product, pay for it, and try to force people who disagree with the most ignorant and arrogant comments.

Am I a fanboy? I very much want this franchise to succeed. I think all us EHM fans are just praying that this will be the long awaited successor to the very outdated EHM. dejaqwho, Notice that I choose the word franchise and not game. The game is not where I want it, the UI is weak and breaks a ton of immersion which gets in the way of the fun factor. The difference is that is what I expected in a first version. OOTP 3 or 4 is what we were promised and that is what i see for the interface with some very neat new features added.

I look at the bigger picture and see this as the last stand for a stat based hockey game. The right developer is there. The long term vision is there. The work ethic that these guys show is all there. They have a long way to go and i'm just hoping they can get through these growing pains that come with a small budget small team game with a big vision and large goals...they just need the time and chance to get there, be it 1 year or 3 years from now.

If i was asked about the current state of the game or my review score for it, it would not be pretty but at the sametime i'm hopeful for the longterm future, if it gets there. So if my view makes me a fanboy, than so be it. But dejaqwho, if you truly stopped being so arrogant and asked me, then you would see I'm far from it. But that would require some logic and for you to take that cone off your head.

This forum has definitely turned into a far too aggressive and bitter place. I would recommend anyone wanting to actually discuss the game with the Sakics and Yzermans instead of shouting matches with the Sean Avery's should head on over to EHM TBL. I hate being sucked in by the Averys and then getting the instigator.

Apparently so, are you from the "illiterate generation". These are actual words, not slang. Read books, stop being a shill for poor products.

Its a mental defect when you get attached to something and abandoned logic and reason in favor of your delusional attachment. Its especially strange when the the thing "this game" is so full of faults.

Leave people listing complaints and demanding their refunds to their peace. They do a lot more to improve this game then you ever will. In fact, you are like a cancer here, you just slow the progress down.

In no way have I ever attacked someone who has wanted a refund. Not once. OOTP is offering it so it is each persons prerogative to do it if they feel that they want to. Hell, I encourage people to list their complaints. It is well within their right and helps the devs know what people want. I have no idea where you're getting ideas that i am against it. But whatever you say, dollface.

One only need look at your posts to realize how untrue that is. You are a shill troll, any critical post of this game and you are there, making fun of the people or saying how much better this game has gotten, which hasn't improved at all. Its laughable.

Guess you haven't looked at my posts than.
