Files due by 8:30am ET! Next SIM = FA 1.2, Thursday 09/26.



Reminder on FA contract caps:

you can offer:

1 yr max $2mil
2 yr max $4mil

Anything 3 years or more is open/fair game (meaning, you may offer as much or as little per year as you wish, as long as the deal is 3+ years long).

Could someone explain this a little more?
Does this apply to RFAs too? or Renegotiations?

UFA's only.

We used to do 3+ years only on UFA contracts until after the end of FA1.12 and every SIM I would get complaints via PM about people wanting to sign "roster fodder" type players to deals less than 3 years in length during the early stages of FA. This is an effort to give teams that option, while limiting the game playing of signing star players to huge 1 yr deals.

Very Interesting
I really like the thinking behind this rule
It gives the League the best of both worlds in Free Agency

Two issues arise from this:

1) Human owners forget and offer "illegal" contracts. Those get voided without penalty
2) AI run teams (we have 3 at the moment): We can't control what they offer, so they will make offers that go against this rule. We let those stand, since the AI run teams are at such a disadvantage they can use all the help they can get.

Yeah, only to UFAs.

Everybody we made a contract offer to signed! Don't remember the last time it's been that smooth, and we've actually taken care of almost all of our renegotiation needs after FA1-1, rather than waiting until the playoffs.
