SIM COMPLETE - FA 2, WEEK 1

[ExtremeGamer]

Wait, so I can't even sign the guys who didn't sign the next 4 weeks now?

Your next chance to sign them will right after FA2, right before the training camp sim. I recommend giving them what they want or risk facing a holdout. If they don't sign then, you get a chance each week of the preseason and regular season until they do sign.

That's one big gripe, I wish the guys would tell me what they want. I gave my hold out center more than what he wanted on the contract screen for the same deal. And he turned it down...WTF?! LOL

I did about 8 reneg -- with 5 taking the exact requested amount ---I kind of like the uncertainty

Uh-oh. Holdouts are something entirely different. Did you franchise him? Sometimes they flat-out will not sign with you no matter what. It may be that you have to trade him.

Yeah, I franichised him. So he's done on my team eh? Greeeeaaaaatt.

I wish the game would say that, that could make it a little more interesting, than him asking for a 1 year 980,000 deal or something.

It does say it in SP. I'm wondering if the message doesn't show up in MP.

Wait...let me be clear: did you offer the exact contract length he requested, just with more money in both bonus and seasons, or did you try to restructure it in any way?

Exact contract he had, just upped the bonus money

And you're certain that you received no pop-up message saying something like "due to past injustices, my client refuses to sign with you?" (You can try that right now, actually.)

He wants to play for a winner. :twisted:

I didn't see it, I'll try in a bit.

[Guest]

Did you ever try?

[ExtremeGamer]

No, I forgot completely actually. I was thinking the sim was tonight and not last night. Oh well, I'll do it for Weds.

No need to wait. Just open the game and try to offer him exactly the contract he wants, and see if you get a popup message saying that he won't sign with you. You don't have to send the export in.

EG's lazy.
