    you're the best! you're the best! you're the best! you're the best!

    Feeling better ?


    While you're around. Is player morale is taken into account by the team when trading ? I never seen any details on how player morale is computed in the game. When it's going low does it weight in the formula to say "ok, let's trade that guy" ?

    thx

      Also, with Free Agent Signings, has anything been discussed or upgraded as far as when/with which team players sign with?

      It always stings when a FA shows the most interest in my offer but then resigns with his old team or another even showing less interest. I know this is somewhat "real," but I can't help but think that this game should have an alert to tell us that the player will make up his mind soon/by the next day, so if we really really need him, we can up the offer to "absurd" and max out the offer to ensure we sign him. I mean, what's the point of having the interest bar if they don't sign with the most interesting offer??
      Also connected to this, while simming through the offseason day-to-day, you have no idea if his interest changes or if another team offers him a contract, so you have to enter into every single day to check your contract offers and it's very slow and time consuming.

      Maybe an alert to tell us that his offers or interest has changed?

        I usually just pretend that the wife chimed in...

        All of us with girls in our lives know: Know matter how much we are interested in something, our lady has the final "interest bar." (Sigh...)

          This is encouraging news. I can't wait to see how the whole logic works now.

            First off, Great work. The time a dedication to this franchise is astounding, as well as the fact that you all listen and interact (frequently!) via this forum.
            I'm new around here, but I'm sure you never get tired of hearing praises.

            In line with this great news regarding Franchise mode, is there plans to rework the Retirement platform as well? I still see 35 year-old free agents coming off All Star seasons, sign a 4 year contract, and then retire the following year, even after another impressive season.

            And hearing that only 10% of the Franchise checklist will get squeezed into 2011, can we then expect that the whole 90% remaining will get into 2012?

            Thanks
            Yes! I remember simming the whole 2010 season and find out that Ichiro is retiring.

                        This... They TEND to choose the most interesting offer, but they will not always go with the top offer, unless you actually go bananas and pay up. If you REALLY wanted him, you should have offered him more money!

                        Also, I seem to have a knack for hitting the top of a page... huh.

                                I understand that "filling up their interest bar" (ha) pretty much assures they'll sign with me, but it seems like such a flip of a coin sometimes, when a player is about twice as "interested" in my offer as the next team's, yet signs with them anyway just because I didn't "go bananas" and max out the bar...and the situation changes if I "replay" the offseason. It leads me to believe it's all random and that there is no way to "learn" how to GM my franchise. And I think what the issue is is that they don't actually follow their "demands." Because I notice that if they're seeking 4-6 years, I can usually sign them if I pay more but offer a 2 year deal, and I've seen the opposite, where they want 1-3 years, yet they'll always take a 5 year deal over my 2 year offer!
