It's fine like it is, as far as I can see. The prices will go up until people don't want to pay more. Who cares if it takes weeks? We've got a lot of time until anything interesting and football related happens in the real world.

More research may not lead to getting incredible players at low prices like you may have hoped, but it will help you know when to stop bidding and who to focus your efforts on when money gets tight as prices continue to rise. You know, kind of like real free agency.

'bid history' (as in, some sort of system that tells who you've bid on--via link, etc.) would be a welcome addition.

Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I'd like to see a minimum increment for outbidding. Perhaps every higher bid has to go to the next tier of contract length.

I feel like we're never going to finish this with all these $1 outbids (and yes I'm frustrated that I just had a guy get bid up by $1 with 14 hours to go.)

Any thoughts to having an option to trade cash (cap space)? Would be nice if you have the option to sort of pay for part of a players contact by trading cash in addition to the picks/players.

We haven't thought about that. You can kind of do it by signing a player and then trading him, though the timing would be delicate on that. We'll consider it.

Yeah, I just thought about it when I was talking about a trade. If the players are similar and one is signed to a longer contract, it would be nice for the other team to have a way to make the contacts similar just by giving the cash it would cost to sign them to it.

I'm thinking moving signed free agents to the bottom of the list might be prudent, no?

TambaBerry · 06-12-2013, 05:03 PM

Man one day away from being signed and someone bid on one of my guys gets so frustrating.

TambaBerry · 06-12-2013, 05:06 PM

I don't think it should reset to 3 days, once two days is up it should only reset to a day. once a day is up it should reset to 2 days.

**AustinChief** · 06-13-2013, 08:31 PM

ok I have a minor beef... if I am winning a free agent with only a few minutes left... I should be able to increase my own bid to get the contract length I want without having it reset the timer. Or maybe give an option to increase contract lengths with leftover money after free agency. Call it a "restructure period."

Yeah, we've talked about that ourselves.

I finally won a couple FA's & was scared to death to up the points for longer contracts since it would expose them that much longer.

Why not open your bid at the contract level you want? There's no rule that says you have to min bid to get your guy. If you want him on a 7, open your bid at 100. If you want him on a 3 open at a 40 or whatever.

edit: I don't understand why poor planning on the bidder's behalf necessitates a coding/rule change.

This is a good point.
