1. Active bidding phase 2. Bidding phase ends 3. Previous owner has a one time opportunity to retain player by upping contract by one year or adding 10% to bid. If the previous owner opts in, the player is his. If the previous owner opts out, the player goes to the high bidder. 4. Of course, the previous owner does have the option to enter into the bidding phase. If that owner wins the bidding phase, the player obviously goes immediately to the winning owner. |

If we made some changes to the system now based on feedback (no guarantees, just saying), would it screw up everyone's contracts? We're just figuring out if we should make any changes now or wait until the 2013 season.

I've done extensive planning, but I've built in contingencies for any possible rule changes so it won't screw me up. Change away.

I'm willing to live with that. Is there any way to roll back the system so I can get my cheap rookie contracts?

My suspicion is that cdcox could clear your system out if you wanted, but probably not selectively for individual players. With 48 teams it'd have to be an all or nothing. But I'll let him respond if that's even feasible.

Screw up contracts? Heck I'm still trying to figure out how to have points left to go shopping.

If we decide to implement changes now, I'd want to clean out everyone's contracts so that the huts against salary points would be correct based on the revised scheme. We would give a couple days notice for people to copy down their contracts if they wanted to replicate them or use those contracts as a guide moving forward.

Based on the feedback we've received and a lot of discussions between Rain Man and me, I think we're converging on a new system that incorporates many of the suggestions you've made. The new system won't completely satisfy everyone's desires, but I think most of you will think this is at least a large step in the right direction. Playability and a meaningful free agency period are still guiding principals of the design of the new system. Rain Man will describe new system in a day or two and soon after we'll reboot the bidding and implement the new system. You might want to take notes about any current contracts to facilitate entering the new ones.
Due to deadlines we're both working though, it might be a few days before all of this goes down. But the new system should be active no later than sometime on Sunday and we are still set to begin free agency bidding on Sunday June 9. You'll need to have your rosters at 53 or below and all of your contracts signed in order to access the bidding system on June 9. |

Okay, here's what we're proposing.
We're hearing three main critiques: rookies are too expensive, contract lengths and costs for mid-tier players/positional value, and a desire to keep some players from becoming free agents. The Rookie Issue: We'll have a rookie contract table that is separate and used only for the draft. It will price contract lengths by round, though as a concession to ease of use it will not price by position. It will look like this: Code:
Rookie Contract Prices - Signing Points Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Round 7 7 Years 110 70 50 40 30 25 20 6 Years 84 53 38 30 23 19 15 5 Years 61 39 28 22 17 14 11 4 Years 41 26 19 15 11 9 7 3 Years 24 15 11 9 7 6 4 2 Years 11 7 5 4 3 3 2 1 Year 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 For free agents, the bidding will proceed as normal. However, the pricing will be based on five position tiers: Tier 1 - QB Tier 2 – HB, LT, WR, CB, 3-4 OLB, 4-3 DE Tier 3 - TE, DT, NT, 3-4 DE, 4-3 LB, MLB/ILB Tier 4 –G, C, RT, *S, FB, KR/PR if no other position listed Tier 5 – P, K = 0.5 When you bid on a free agent or re-sign a player, the contract length correlates to the amount of money you pay for them. It's the same system originally put forth, but now we delineate by positional value. The table below shows the thresholds for each contract length. Once you pay above the thresholds shown below, you have the rights to that player for X years (unless you trade him). So for example, if you pay 40 points for a defensive tackle, who is a Tier 3 player, you get his rights for four years. (Look at Tier 3, and if you pay between 37 and 54 points it's a four-year contract.) If you pay 40 points for a quarterback, who is a Tier 1 player, you only get his rights for two years. If you paid that quarterback 44 points you could up his contract to three years. Code:
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 5 200 125 100 85 50 7 year 152 95 76 65 38 6 year 110 69 55 47 28 5 year 74 46 37 31 19 4 year 44 28 22 19 11 3 year 20 13 10 9 5 2 year 0 0 0 0 0 1 year At the end of each season, all of your players with 0 contract years remaining will go to free agency, just like usual. However, there are two exceptions to the existing rule. You can retain up to two players before they go through free agency. However, in order to do so, you must give them a contract of five years or longer. Also, note that they are now paid on the veteran scale. Note that you can still retain the players by beating the high bid, as discussed in the initial rules.

This seems great. Can you add a 'Tier' column on the "Manage Roster" screen?
