Purchasing Contracts and Indy League designation
I run a game that consists of Indy league teams like the Can-Am league and the Atlantic League. I run them alongside Real MLB franchises and their Minor League affiliate teams. Like it is in real life
Two questions: I run these teams as "Unaffiliated AA" Clubs. But will we (or, could we) have a way to designate them as "Independent" in 13? (BTW, what does the designation "International" mean?) Also, will (or could)we see a feature where Major League clubs could offer to purchase contracts? |

I've been asking for years for these features...I think a majority of users would really enjoy the possibility of purchasing a phenom, and watching them develop throughout their career...or to have a comeback player story. Plenty of immersion (and creativity) possible!

Can't understand why it isn't a feature... Unless it's a coding issue.
I run a salary cap in my league (which many AI teams never seem to truly adhere to). Eventually players who are really good, and those that are greedy, at some point ask for a multimillion dollar contract, and that's when they leave and go on to a big league club. It usually happens though, when a player is 29-30. I don't know any player in real life with talent who would want to stick around with a little dinky indy league until the age of 30. So, it would be nice if big league clubs could offer to buy the contracts of high talent players from clubs who are designated "independent". Like... (you guessed it)... in real life. It would also keep the talent level of the smaller indy leagues true to real life talent level. Last edited by drksd4848; 03-20-2012 at 02:06 PM. |

"Purchase Contract" is one of the missing elements that makes it hard to recreate the environment of 1901 through 1950. I would so, so, so like this feature.
If a "bid for rights to negotiate" feature was added (what MLB clubs have to offer for the right to court Japanese major leaguers), another major element of modeling the real baseball world would be in place, too. |

One thing that was brought up over the years was the ability to restrict contracts to x amount of years, so say you can restrict players to only signing a 1 year contract.
But I agree, at somepoint this will have to get in, the full concept of purchasing a contract.
