Uh, yeah we did - because this is the Suggestions for Future Versions sub-forum and this is a feature we think would be nice to add since we enjoy our league and we think such a feature might be beneficial to all types of leagues - both online and offline. Call me crazy but I like to think Markus et al might take an idea as more beneficial if MORE people post about it. Crazy - I know.

Why are you still posting here? You gave your weak "help" of "Make a house rule!" then when we stated multiple times that we'd like to see it as a feature (since, ya know, again - we're in the Suggestions for Future Versions sub-forum) you trolled like a super-troll (even putting us in your sig - thanks for the pub! You're not Public Enemy #1 though - I doubt any of us give a dang about you aside from wanting you to shoo, so our suggestion - since we're in the Suggestions for Future Versions sub-forum - might get taken seriously).

It's only a 6-week old thread because our commish posted it 6 weeks ago and then told us about the thread a couple days ago. I didn't realize there was a statute of limitations on good ideas. Maybe in your world there is.

Shoo troll - we're trying to be actually productive. If this somehow does get added as a feature, you're welcome to make a house rule in your league to not use it.

I showed up to support the idea of adding an in game feature that I feel will improve the game. I said nothing about you. It took six weeks because I didn't realize an in game request was made until our commish mentioned it the other day.

I thought we were in the suggestion forum, didn't know we had to check with you first.

I don't really understand your urge to even comment, we aren't asking you for anything.

Would these count as ad hominem attacks, seems I saw them somewhere:

"Looks like we found someone who likes to game the system..."

"RANZBA is full of charming personalities like yourself, then it's definitely not for me."

"So if you quit coming into this forum, then why did you come back to specifically reply to this thread?

Did you answer Subby's RANZBA Bat Signal to pile on to this thread?

Curiousier and curiouser.."

I'm bumping this after another 6 weeks as a nag to the powers that be.

Can we get a "turn off contract options" checkbox for OOTP 18?

[jeheinz72]

Make a house rule ya filthy animal!

[jimedrice]

Bump for the next OOTP cycle.... How about a "No Options" option?

[jeheinz72]

Make a house rule!

Haha because I rarely go here anymore and I'm lazy. I'm in 5 leagues now, and only 1 of the 3 in my sig still exists. The one that does - NPBL was "present" in 2028 when I made that sig, and it's now in 2071. Isn't a fast-sim either so it had to be a solid 6-7 years ago

Edit: if i misunderstood the FA qualm from first post... i already hit submit so i cannot delete

---------------

i can se ethe op's frustration on most things.. just wanted to add somethign about FA....


if there is an outlandish request, you just have to wait until it drops. and, it will drop to a "normal" range for your league, even if a bit high or low relative to talent. all within reason

if someone is dumb enough to pay 40-50m/year for somethign that will be cheaper in 3-weeks, i'm happy that my competition is beeing foolish with their money.. any short-term gain is eclipsed in the long-run.

that's one abuse i never got into... putting huge amoutns of money into an option that will never be exercised. now, in the past i would spend 50-100M on international amatuer FA, though... or, even further back trade draft picks and get the first 3-5picks in any year :P everyone does something even if not as extreme.
