questions

1. When negotiating with prospects signing bonuses, there seems to be very little room for negotiation. A player has a demand and you have to come pretty darn close and most often, give exactly what the players wants. Is this the way this feature is supposed to work? It seems there should be more room for negotiation.

2. When you release all personnel, where do they go? They're in the game, but they don't seem to show up on available personnel. If you do a search for a particular staff member, on their page it says they are still affiliated with the organization that should have released them. When you go to the editor it says they are not affiliated with any team. one of three things is going on here: there's a contradiction, I'm missing something, or this is a bug.

It depends on how signable the prospect is by your organization. Prospects that are easily signable you can offer lower amounts of money to and they will sign. Prospects that have an average signablility then there is some room for negotiation. Hard to sign prospects basically want what they want and won't negotiate on it much. Impossible to sign prospects are just that. Impossible unless you offer them way, way, way more than they want. And even then they may just decide not to sign.

Makes sense.

I think I've made some sense (while at the same time opening other questions) about the personnel issue.

It seems to me the idea to release all personnel isn't intended as a way to release them from their contracts, as I can still find them attached to their organization and the option to fire them still being required to get them to the available personnel list.

My problem is this: I can't figure out any other reason to have the release all personnel button if it isn't meant as a short cut to firing everyone individually.
