    Re: 2016 Franchise Issues/Solutions/Help

    So the way I have been getting arbitration to work more realistically is to use 30 team control and manually offer arbitration to all players that are 85 overall and better. That has helped. The arbitration is automatically slightly more than what their previous year is.

    Every once in a while a player will sign a contract below arbitration(avoid arbitration by signing) lower than the team offer. Although this would never happen in real life it is better than the alternative.

    I also have went back to putting contracts to manual and simming to day before exclusive period before returning control back to the cpu.

    I feel this adds more people to available free agents.

    I haven't really found a work around to tighten budgets. 10-15% a year gives teams alot of money. Sometimes you see teams sign everyone up.

      I did some minimal testing by simming 3 months into my franchise ( didn't save it of course) and saw that the RP in the rotation wasn't happening anymore. I was simming week by week and checking the rotations each week. Again, minimal testing. Maybe someone else can confirm.

      Edit: Meant to say that it might have been fixed by the 1.04 patch.

        That would be fantastic.
        I'm definitely checking on this as soon as I can.

          Any word from Luis on the possibility of trade delay option returning in the next patch?

            Since most tests I've seen indicate the morale glitch is patched/was a minor hiccup during the server maintainence, I'm really hoping they addressed the issues with relievers ending up in the rotation. Once it's confirmed to be fixed, I might just start my franchise and pretend the US economy is booming to compensate for the massive increases to team budgets lol.

                It's in the transactions tab, under pending.

                  Curious about this fix in the most recent patch:

                  "Off season free agent logic was not estimating budget room correctly because it was not accounting for staff salary. This caused teams to inaccurately set the max salary they could offer. This should now be fixed."

                  Any chance this indirectly fixes the CPU having too much unused budget space (and therefore easily getting outbid by the user)? I know we were looking at it as a problem of budgets increasing too much from year to year, but if the CPU is actually willing to spend that money in FA it could work out, theoretically.

                    Re: 2016 Franchise Issues/Solutions/Help

                    I'm testing it right now. Not noticing any stand out huge differences in contracts. I think they may have dialed down increases a little.

                    I don't see any teams ever in red anymore. I think the fix prevented teams from offering money to free agents and then having to go over to sign coaches.

                    The arbitration process is not right. I have manually offered arbitration to Harper at 15.5 million. The cpu then offers a contract of 13.2.

                    Later in the offseason the transaction log says he "won his arbitration case for 13.2."

                    His previous year salary was 15.5 so I doubt he would ask for less than previous year and less than club offering. Tried it a few times and similar results.

                      Budget increases have been toned a little. Only teams with large amounts of space in a few years are the teams rebuilding.

                      I have been simming first 4 days of exclusive before turning control back over to cpu to see more guys hit free agency.

                      I also have been making sure all A potential higher rated players are offered arbitration higher than previous years salary.

                        Start a new franchise. (Doesn't matter if you have 30 TC on or not)

                        Go to the first game of the season

                        Select the road team

                        Playout the first at bat then sim to the end.

                        Doing this will eliminate the HR bug and the Opening Day presentation bug.

                        FYI. This workaround does not work with carry ovef saves. You have to start a new franchise.
                        I have an all-team fantasy drafted franchise at OD and can't seem to shake the HR bug.

                        Three separate times with no luck. I simmed the other two games, then played the remaining random game, gave up a HR and it said his 1st career HR. 2nd try, simmed one of the games, started CPU/CPU the other game, then simmed out after the 1st batter - I hit a HR in my game, 1st career HR. 3rd try, simmed one of the games, started the other as the away team and simmed after the first batter - hit a HR in my game, 1st career HR.

                        When you sim the game, do you watch the PBP or just jump to the end? I did it from selecting exit then jumped to the end. What am I doing wrong?

                          Sorry what is OD?

                          You hae to play the very first at bat of the Cardinals and Pirates game then sim to the end. This has always worked for me. Idk if the patch messed it up or not. This work around works with offline franchises. Idk if it works with online franchises.

                            OD - Opening Day

                            I was wanting to play a random game each day. Started the other two as CPU/CPUs, FF'd to end at the first batter. I seem to be in the clear now.

                              My players all have either bullpen/bench for their role no matter where I put them. Any fixes?

                                Hey guys, just finally getting around to starting my franchise. Can't remember how to set it all up, but spent a couple hours last night setting up 30 team control. Now that I'm at the day before ST ends I know that I am supposed to manually adjust 40-man rosters. Is there a doc or a list floating around for OD 25-man and teams complete 40-man? I am using Scott's V3 roster. Are there any other moves/tweaks that I need to do on this years iteration that I'm unaware of? Thanks fellas! Stay back on those off-speed pitches😀
