International FA Bug

I just sent this same email to a couple of dev's.

I think I found a major bug with INTL FA, and especially with Online leagues.

I have run tests on this. It seems that INTL FA bidding is based off the last bid made, IF its a tie.

And how do the bids come in? By pulling downloads/exports

And what order does the game pull in/download exports? Alphabetical

So an example. If every single team bids on Player X, $5 million. The last export pulled in will be Washington (bc of alphabetical order) and they will always win the prospect.

I tested this by acting as the GM of different teams and if a team bids $5 million (which is our cap for INTL FA), the LAST team to make a bid, always wins the player.

This is a major flaw in the system, as WAS, TOR, TEX, etc, will always have the advantage of that being the tie breaker.

Can you guys check on this? Thanks!
