Free Agency Bidding with Multiple Teams in Same City

pumph · 10-22-2013, 08:04 AM

When making an offer to a player, I often see something like this:

"So far, Chicago has made the best offer"

Is there any way I can tell WHICH Chicago?

Make sure that both Chicago teams have different names.

Chicago (A)
Chicago (N)

I figured that, but it's an online league and I'm not the commish

No other way?

Related question... do the players ever lie?

'You are goign to need to offer more because I have an offer from...' is that ever fabricated?

Good question I always wondered that too. It seems to
Me sometimes they do

In any league I've ever had, if there are multiple teams in the same area, only one of them can use the main city name. The rest have to adopt a major suburb/neighborhood as their name.

I try to avoid multi-team cities, as I find it boring, but when I expanded my Australian fictional league for the heck of it, it was hard to imagine putting a team in sub-100,000 people cities when Sydney and Melbourne only had one.

I frequently see the AI demand much more from me in an offer than they end up getting, but I'm not sure if they make things up.
