IMPACT NEWS CB LES HOLLIDAY REMAIN A SHARK

Our star DB will finish his bright days as a Shark!

After pulling down 4 other offers Les Holliday preferred to take 2 year deal with 30 million guarantees and 55 millions in total.

"The Sharks paidme as I deserve and I am settle here, enjoying amd making the play-offs as a yearly basis, so there is no reason to change"

We are really happy to keep him, he is playing his best football ans with the growing of Knox we could have 2 shut-downs CB

I hate the FA process. Throw your offers on the table and have the player pick one. This constant upbidding for 6-9 weeks is ridiculous. I could see if you are being low balled but geez.

[Aston]

Hey, me too. Players sit on offers longer now, and I'm thinking it makes more sense to start combining stages instead of running them individually. That's also easier on the owners, as we won't have to export as often.

So this week, this year, we ran

M-F: FA2, FA3, FA4, FA5, FA6

Instead of that, we could do:

M: FA2
W: FA3-6
F: FA7-10

Maybe run FA11 the following Monday for FA cleanup, and then no sim until the rookies are revealed. I'm also thinking of revising the draft schedule this way:

W: FA3-6 (Round 1, pick 1-8)
Th: (Round 1, 9 - 16)
F: (Round 1, 17-25)
Weekend: no drafting
M: (Round 1, 26-32)
Tu: Round 2, W: Round 3, Th: Round 4-5, F: Round 6-7

This removes the untimed portion. People will know when to check in for their Round 1 picks and if they don't, the timer will auto them. I do like the slow roll, but this way should be easier and clearer to everybody. The big problem with the slow roll is it takes a week, during which nobody has any idea what day they'll be up.

[Matt]

Great idea...and I was just thinking the same thing. Just wasn't sure if it would mess anything up.

We sim 2 weeks at a time in the BLB (OOTP) and it works great.

I like this. Won't be so hard to keep up with FA.

What I want is an easier way to tell what stage players are looking to sign on. Most of my headaches with FA would go away with that small addition.

Ummmm I don't have here the game cause I am at work but I think is in The grey sheed or something like that in the Roster commands menu! Try there!

The Grey Sheet will give you a look at the top players and when they want to sign. Everyone else, you have to click on make an offer and look a the top of their offer page.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about being a pain.

I actually never use the Grey Sheet. Perhaps I should, but what I'm talking about should be visible on the "Continue Free Agency" screen. Should post on FOFC about that.
