Signing FAs with No Money and More FA Oddness

Wabner · 07-20-2011, 11:31 PM

First off, sorry this is long, but I am baffled by this.

Online commish here, and I have converted my OOTP 11 league and have been test simming before doing the official conversion and I ran across a weird occurrence tonight.

Our league is fictional but uses a current MLB salary structure. (No cap, lux tax, etc)

I reached the FA period of the 2016 season (we're finishing up 2016 in OOTP 11) and started messing with the FA screen and wanted to see the new feedback system.

I loaded the game as the manager of a team w/o any FA money at all (not just the Act As function, but selected this manager from the list so as to not be in "commish" mode) and the game allowed me to offer a 5 star closer a huge contract despite being in the red.

There's no owner feedback at all and it allows me to submit offers to any player I want with complete disregard to finances. It took a long time to sign him (February, but he did in fact sign to a team w/o any FA $)

Is there something I'm missing? I know the financial system has changed a bit -- is there a setting I need to check?

Ok, next oddity. I took another high profile player and simulated a bidding war to see how that would play out.

Team 1: Player asks for 17 mil a year for 5 years
Team 2: Player asks for 18 mil (team 2 is a bad bad team, so I assume this is the new demand system at play)

Both teams have a lot of FA $.,

I submit both offers and in a few days the player comes back with a reaction to both teams, and he seemingly likes the Team 2 offer. But then asks to make it official by submitting it again. OK..

However, I notice that the team $$ listed on the bottom left says if you make this offer they will have -2 million for FAs. This isn't right. The game is basically looking to offer this player twice and not taking into consideration that this is a "resubmit" to the same player.

Anyway, to further complicate matters, after submitting the offer again, I upped the offer from Team 1 to 19 mil a year for 5 yrs.

After this he comes back to both teams with his ORIGINAL offer, taking a nice pay cut, and after a few more days signs with Team 2 for 18/5.

I'm assuming it's not supposed to work this like this....

Any ideas?
