"Early" Free Agency Done (DO NOT TOUCH NORMAND SIM

[Coder]

Gah.. this is dragging out too long.. stupid players should sign right away when I come throwing money around!

[Jave]

WTF??

This is why I am never active in free agency. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to this entire process. Hinsley is a perfect example. He turns down more money from me to go sign with Cleveland. Yet he has a 69 wants winner. Ok, I went to the conference championship game so more money....check....winner....check.....yet he took less money to play elsewhere.?????

He also turned down almost 7 million to go play for Reno and also turned down NWK and LRK? But he has a 69 wants winner rating right? I think this entire process is a crap shoot and it just reinforces the reason I rarley get active in free agency. It's a waste of time and money.

Stage 5 Done. sjshaw, your export was "outdated". And that reminds me, your export was outdated on Tuesday, Warhammer. ops:

By outdated I mean it was from the wrong stage.

I exported from the file linked at the front page. That really sucks, because I made some significant offers.

I always use the front page linked file, and I haven't had any problems. Make sure you refresh your browser before you click on it though. If you leave your browser window open at the IFL page or use the back button to get back to it, it may have an old link on it.

I also always use this link. Nothing is wrong with it.

I had the right file, because Jeff names them with the date. Just one of those things, I guess. I've exported from the latest file. If it doesn't go through this time, then we'll figure out what's up.

No problems with your export for tonight, I just tested it.

I would be willing to bet that Cleveland offered Hinsley a decent amount more bonus money than you did. Wants winner can't be a big factor at all, and it shouldn't be. Players go where the money is 90% of the time.

Reno offered Hinsley 6.85 over 3 years. That's 2.28/yr compared to CLE's 2.16/yr. Again, chances are that eckman offered the most bonus. That's the way that it works.

Aye. Bonus $$$ is the key as it is IRL.

We gave a bonus of $2.74mil to Hinsley

Thanks, for some reason I was under the impression it was one hour earlier, but I noticed on some of the boards I visit that they all showed indications that I was wrong.

You'd better re-sign Comer as insurance. He looks promising.
