30 team franchisers.

Re: 30 team franchisers.

I know this could go in the Q&A thread, but it sort of pertains to this one as well.

I never used the trade waiting-period feature in last year's...I needed to know right away so I could swing another deal. You guys should know what I mean.

Anyway, since we kind of have to use it with 30-team control, how does this come into affect at the trade deadline...for OUR team?
Do we need to propose trades a certain amount of days ahead for them to go through? Or will any (and all) trades get approved and disapproved at the deadline?
I'd hate to propose a deal the day before that SHOULD go through, but then not because the deadline cancels it out.

Thanks

It's usually 3 days.
I've had 4 days before the CPU denying a trade.
I'm pretty sure that if the deal isn't done...by the 31st ...it's not a deadline deal....and I'm not sure if it is just canceled out.

Thanks, Knight.

If you could clarify a bit more, are you saying that if a trade is proposed on the 30th, it very well could be approved after the 31st?

Re: 30 team franchisers.

Knight, or anyone for that matter, is there any way to alter the contract years/amounts before franchise starts? If I remember correcly from last year we could change this. And by the way Knight, thanks for always having answers and being patient with people on here who ask the same questions over and over, myself included sometimes.

Re: 30 team franchisers.

so come free agent time does the computer make offers to players when you do this or do you have to make the offers for other teams?

If you have it set to cpu they will, but if you set it to manual they you can do it

yes, simply load the rosters you are going to use for franchise. Release the player(s) that you want to address and resign until desired contract is signed. Again all of this is done at the roster control menu

and this will help fix the 2014 glitch also?

I've tried this over and over and I can't get it to work. Do I need to do this in my franchise? Or can I do it from the roster in the main menu?

I don't think that "glitch" works this year in roster management. I think now you have to do it in 30 team control. Problem with that is you take a hit when you release them to FA cause it counts the salary against you.

Work around, I guess, is release the players you want to resign to fa in roster management, load that roster with your franchise and then sign them in spring training to the salary and years you want.

Is that the same thing stated here by Hustlin?

Re: 30 team franchisers.

No...maybe I didn't explain it right. Last year if we went into roster management and swapped a player to the FA list and then swapped him back to his team, the salary and years would change, usually randomly. So if you did it enough you would get close to what you wanted.**(I believe this is what Hustlin was eluding to, if not I apologize)

This year that doesn't seem to work, at least I couldn't get it to.

So I am suggesting take the players you want to change contracts for and release them all to FA. SAVE Roster. Now load a 30 team franchise. Now go to each team and resign each player.

I see now! Hustlin was stating to do this all outside of franchise mode from the "roster management" screen like we could last year.

That appears to not be the case this year though. BTW, what does the player contracts look like signing FA's how you stated in comparison to how we could do it last year? Do the FA's still accept the same salary range? Thanks!

Re: 30 team franchisers.

Well one way I just figured out to work around the trade thing is to turn trades to manual so the cpu doesnt make any trades and then turn it on like right after the all star game and just check the pending trades like every 4 days. Is there a way for the cpu to control emails to the teams that you don't to control instead of having to read through all 30 teams emails. That little blinking email light in the corner just gets annoying

PENDING TRANSACTIONS-----TRADES.
You can leave them on and check that everyday and just step in and decline or let it go through.

Re: 30 team franchisers.

Alright so I got everything set up with the custom profiles and such with the manual/auto etc... But for whatever reason I cannot get the cpu from keeping the lineups and roster moves I had set up, as soon as I end spring training they take over and put people on waivers, call up/send down, change the lineups and I have these things set to Manual...

Is it just me or something I'm not doing right

By the way on the franchise mode options at the beginning I chose:
Fantasy draft - off
Cpu roster control - off
-cpu trading - on
-instant trades - off
-ignore budgets - off
Force trades - off
DH - auto

Anyone get their lineups and stuff to stick from the main menu roster control and get it to stick once you bring them over to Franchise mode
