Fictional league contracts

nwmartinson · 04-24-2012, 02:18 AM

I am trying to start a historical league and sim some years before taking over. I have noticed all player contracts are 1 year and expire on the current year. This seems odd... I have cleared contract data and reloaded new fictional player contract data in the options screen. No avail, all new contracts are still only a year long.

Help?

Do you have free agency enable or the Reserve Rule?

That is what it sounds like to me. If you have reserve era rules one, this is how contracts look. You can check some other boxes to allow players to recieve multi-year deals and/or guaranteed contracts.

Kind of beside myself here... reserve rule has been unchecked. Can someone point me to the check box option to muli-year deals or other options that would control this? I have looked tirelessly through the menus and have found little help. Thanks.
