Are you able to login to Stats Lab from the Forums? The draft pool is listed there.

It's also listed in the game under League --> Draft Pool.

Aside from...

looking up all college/hs players by hand, is there a way to identify the draft eligible players in-game?

A player, often those who are high in greed, will play better in a contract year. But, whether it is related loyalty or not, sometimes players struggled in a contract year, often sending multiple emails about wanting to stay but haven't received a contract offer. It goes both ways.

If it is a player that you 100% want to bring back and are just trying to decide when to make the offer, I would recommend keeping a weekly eye on his demands. Sometimes when Free-Agency opens (right now) their demands are a lot higher, than say in Spring Training or the first months of the season. If the demands go down, you can ride that to see how low it goes, or if the demands start to rise, you can send in an offer then.

I don't think there is one perfect way to do it. I've definitely won some and lost some.

Very useful information, perfectly well explained, thanks as usual Pat.

I apply to the masses to gather your opinion about a fact.

A player, more times than not, plays better when is in his contract year. It does apply to the OOTP as far as I could experience.

My question is... Do you wait during the season to extend their contracts to "ride that wave" or his demands can significantly increase while "he´s riding that wave"??

Many thanks as usual, oh OOTP gurús!

When a player's card says locally popular is he popular in the market he is in or in your market?

I thought it was in his market too.

[Delandis]

I always assumed it was his current market.

Same here. I've assumed it is what splits attendance on home vs road games.

That's what I always thought.

Some things to keep in mind when making trades.

It hits your player expenses. You can see it probably on the accounting tab.

To add to this, there is something funny about how OOTP's accountant manages your money after releasing a player.

They will tell you that you have a lot more free money but they don't take into account your other expenses.

Problem is you can spend the money you want. Bigger problem is, unless you got the budget for it, you'll be in a lot of debt.

Thanks!

Where does the money come from when releasing a player whom you still owe money to?
I've done it just to test, and I see that his salary is removed from the list of Salaries.
And I'm still able to use just as much currency for Scouting and Development.
So if owe a player $50M over 5 more years, where does it come from?

Thanks!
