Impossible amateur draft

da commish · 05-10-2016, 07:08 PM

Anybody have any idea on what to offer "impossible" draftees with "unknown" signing bonus demands? In OOTP16 you could at least make a reasonably good offer based on what they had as a demand in the draft pool listing. Now, there's nothing to go by or even guess as far as I can see.

If you're to the offer stage, simply clicking Negotiate will open the screen where they will tell you an 'at least' number, but often it takes a bit more than that number. I have also, on occasion, signed them for less than that asking amount as well.

Thanks. So far, I had avoided drafting them since I thought I wouldn't have any chance of signing them. But this seems like there is at least a shot at getting them.

Whenever I draft them, they seem to be high school guys who have their heart set on going to college. You usually get one chance to make an offer or they break off negotiations. And it better be a high offer.
