AI logic with signing contracts.

So often i'll see a player not re-sign with his team for example a 20 million dollars a year contract but will end up signing in free agency later, for much less. Is this going to be addressed in OOTP 20? I think players that decline such offers (20 million) should swing back around and inquire about prior offers their former team offered if they are not getting the money they are looking for in free agency. A player should say something like "I'm looking for more money, which i think i can get in free agency. Please up your price or i'll have to test the market. I'll keep a line of communication open though" That last part is where the player will contact the team again at a later date if it's the best offer they have gotten.

that can and does happen in real life, so the occurence is fine.. frequency? that's somethign to ask them to look into if you have a real-world baseline and can show in game that it occurs at a 'bad' rate -- too high/low whatever.

in ootp, i think you can change finances a bit to affect the frequency of this occurence. i would increase revenues -- how depends on context. maybe the poor teams need a bit more or maybe some teams in the middle etc...

increase money available during FA and you will see increased FA contracts relative to extensions.

aslo, make sure you didn't change default value for max cash on hand. 10M is fine.. zero would help this particular concept even more. that retained money only affects extensions and will increase their values the larger the max cash on hand is.

basically, if more teams have money in FA and you reduce money available for extensions (the latter is a small facter relative to default settings), the market forces in game will take care of the perceived problem.
