It's the early stages and good question. I don't think there is a way to communicate with the manager. They should put it in - GM/Manager interactions. Much as I love things like managers having their own personalities and can be dogmatic about it, there's missed opportunities for interactions and further fleshing it out.

Only other thing you could do is somehow remove the guy the manager likes more (demote, trade), and go that route.

Otherwise, the player will have to suck it up. It's not necessarily a death blow to contract talks, especially if his other morale ratings are decent.

Figured that was what it is. His morale is still good because the team is winning and he's started nearly 60 games and played in many more. I was just making sure there wasn't some feature I had been ignorant on with regards to communicating with the Manager.

You can move any team into any level/league by using the LEAGUE SETTINGS --> LEAGUE & TEAMS --> EDIT LEAGUE STRUCTURE button. I do this so my expansion franchise has all the proper levels. You would need to do any editing in the preseason/offseason.

Yeah, I sadly found out the hard way that Challenge mode disables this ability. Thank you though!

Ah the struggles of not being a big market team.





29 year Cuban free agent with amazing stats, of course he asks for a 10 year 100 million + contract.

Just read the news about the new OOTP Perfect Team that they're working on. And it chilled my blood cold. Sounds like a replica of MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. They can give all the assurances in the world there will be a barrier between the traditional game and the Perfect Team, but I think we've seen how this plays out before...

Some good stuff in the patch from 2 days ago...

One thing I noticed right away is the color on the postgame WPA graphs. No more same color font/background making some parts unreadable. Nice.

I don't mind the idea of Perfect Team and I feel confident this team will not let it ruin the main OOTP experience. I have always liked the concept of Ultimate Team/Perfect Team/ Diamond Dynasty modes, but what has always put me off in those modes in games like Madden or NHL is just the way people play online, not the modes themselves. Putting together a team of greats sounds amazing to me. Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron on my team together with Roger Clemens is making my mouth water, but playing the kids online that populate games these days turns me away from those modes quick.


I will be interested to see how OOTP does it, but I won't lie, those modes excite me more when it is a style of game I play the on field action. Making a perfect team in a text sim doesn't have the same appeal to me.
