Free Agency

Pirates · 04-19-2016, 12:43 PM

There are some problems I believe in the free agency market in this game:
Start Year 2000
1. Too many players asking for $30,000,000 to $45,000,000 per year.
2. Too many players signing long term contract for $25,000,000 to $38,000,000 per year.

When the above events take place all the teams are now strapped for cash. When this happens the following example example occurs with numerous players every year.
Example: Albert Pujols 26 years old is a free agent.
1. He is seeking a $38,000,000 per year contract.
2. By April 1 the Start of the new season he is down to a 1 year $8,000,000.
3. Yet he still is not signed because no-one has any money left to sign him.

Setup:
Historical League
Defaults for everything left alone.
International ametures activated
Random Rookies from all eras

Please don't respond with the number of players in today's game getting $25,000,000. It is no where near the amount as the number of players making that and much more in this game.

I believe the Pricing structure may need to be tweaked when it comes to free agency.
