Renegotiations in Front Office Football – Football Frontier (http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/uncategorized/renegotiations-in-front-office-football/)

Renegotiations-Post

So I’ve decided to eliminate in-season contract renegotiations. The AI GMs don’t renegotiate in-season, so eliminating this shouldn’t have any unreasonable effect on the single-player game. I will leave the “cap-out” in place, and provide the correct adjustments. The “cap-out” is a tool most players won’t need at this stage of the year, but it may allow a team to sign a veteran free agent mid-season who otherwise wouldn’t fit under the cap.


House Rules – Football Frontier (http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/uncategorized/house-rules/)

Contract AI

I think the case for incorporating a form of this house rule is justified. Here’s how it will work in Front Office Football Eight:

In stage one of free agency, if a player is asking for a four-year contract (or more), he will refuse to consider any contract of less than four years.

In stages two and three, that limit will be three years.

In stage four, that limit will be two years.

I think this change will provide a more realistic simulation of the decisions the elite free agents make.

FOF8 will have a concussion protocol.

Thanks, steve. His RSS Feed is down/doesn't work/something, so the auto-posting that I used to read no longer works.

Cant argue with these changes. I still wish there was a way to do an extension, not negotiation (especially for 4th year players), but overall, I get it.

Nice to have updates on the new game. This is probably a sign that the new FOF will be released at some point. I hope that's Jims reason to go in depth with the new features. I like!
