To answer a question posed by someone, I went to my test league and offered a player (and not a star by any means) a contract for 4 years at $50 million a year -- far outstipping any other contract that any player had been offered.
The reply I get from him:
The offer is okay, but he thinks someone else might make a better offer. :)

Just for clarification, when did you offer this player this contract (i.e. in the middle of the season; day one of FA; right before the season started), and what is his 'Greed' setting? And finally, how old is the player, is this his last contract or does he have a few remaining?
ReplyDeleteI think that is insane that he would not sign right away, but there may be many factors why he said what he said. We have to remember that it is a computer program, and the programmers might have programmed in a 'Do not accept any first offer' setting (not matter what it is) for the extremely greedy players.
