Free Agency in Franchise still broken...

Going into the 2018 season Joey Bats is sitting in the FA pool. His 2017 he hit .253 with 91 runs, 34 hrs and 107 RBI. You're telling me that no one wanted to offer him a deal? The team has Kenrys Morales starting in RF while Dalton Pompey is the DH (REALLY?!?!?!?!)

30 year old Alex Cobb is in FA after going 16-9 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.19 WHIP

Please fix this. I want to enjoy franchise not spend my time fixing programming mistakes.

Re: Free Agency in Franchise still broken...

Was that a carryover franchise? OSFM with real contracts?

I'm not seeing that on new franchises.

See my last sentence. It takes me roughly an hour to handle just my team in the offseason. I use 30 team control to make sure draft picks get signed (another broke aspect), but I will not (and cannot) spend an hour on every team making sure they sign guys that are supposed to be signed. SCEA is paid to make this game and make it correctly, we should not have to clean up things like this by using work arounds year and year after year.

but how do you get the flavour of 30 GMs when one man has to be 30 GMs?

I wouldn't say this is broken. No one wanted to sign Joey can't Bat anymore after this past season. CPU GM's probably don't want to invest in a declining 38(?) year old after the 2017 season.

Seems its working as intended.

thats not the stat line of a typical 38 yr old. If that read he hit .234, 68 runs, 22 hrs and 69 RBI thats one thing. but those numbers he put up beg for another year. and
someone would have given him a 1 yr deal. for all the quirks put in this year and player moral also, theres still a ways to go and need for improvement in that if Bautista wasnt going to play for a fair (in the cpu mind) contract, then they should have had him retire in the off season rather than waste space on FA list. basiclly he's theren for one potential team, the user controlled team. and thats if his money want is even in the end-users budget.
