IFAs signing with a different league

stealofhome · 05-17-2014, 10:26 PM

It's IFA time and I've been trying to sign some players. However, they keep getting snapped up by *** teams somehow. I have Generate IFAs turned off for that league, I don't understand how they are able to sign IFAs that are generated for my league.

Edit: While I'm at it...is IFA signing super annoying for anyone else? Submit offer, get email. Wait a day, get email that offer has been raised. Submit new offer, get another email. Repeat.

I noticed this too even though I elected the league to not generate any IFA.

I since made sure I also gave the league $0 for IFA signing bonus in the same setting.

Im not annoyed but the negotiating at all btw.

It's not that there is a back and forth, that's to be expected. It's the sheer amount of back and forth every day for over 3 months.

Edit: And then a majority of players end up over the minimum signing bonus by themselves. 10M max, most signed for more than that. So I guess no team is going to be able to sign any IFAs next year? It was a weird process altogether.

I forget what my settings are but the max i have set is 2.1m so players sign for about 550,000 the bad ones for 50 or lower most are signed for around 100k

and ya that gets annoying

Weird, my game acts much differently. I played with the max settings and the contracts demands would change with it. The top guy would demand twice the maximum, regardless of what that number was. So sign him, incur a huge penalty, and be unable to sign any player the following year. But most of the other players ended up signing for more than 105% of the maximum as well after negotiations.

I play default, $3m cap per team. Negotiations for the top IFAs each year skyrocket to 7m+ in most case, in most leagues I've run in OOTP14 and 15. I basically go nuts every 2nd year because I know I have to, since one will take me over the cap. And at that point, might as well spend $13m, lol

For some reason I dont not have any of these problems (which is a good thing) My IDFAs have never even gone over there max to my knowledge IDK if its talent level but i will check when i get to IFA this off-season because i have only done 1 on OOTP 15
