Contract Insanity
Could you please look into the contract issues? Once we you get 5 to 7 years into Franchise, all of a sudden your Low Elite Potential, 3rd line Forwards, who are getting 3rd Line Minutes are asking f...
Well, I mean the NHL does have rules about this to keep things in check. Look what happened with Gruabuaer and Seattle.
They offered him more money then the league allowed, so they had to offer him an increasing contract, so he'll earn the max they promised him over 5 years.
When you've got a guy making 3 million, after 3 years, he can't demand 9 million when his contract is up, he can only make 5.5.Things like that would go a long way.
I believe Grubauer’s contract was rejected because the actual salary amount was too much of a difference between years of the contract. In this game you can’t select the salary amounts, it is exactly the same every year of the contract. So this doesn’t really have any impact on the amount a player can demand for a new contract.
Partially you are correct, no year should be able to exceed and additional 60% of the previous year.
If that rule was implemented in the game, a player making 3 million wouldn't be able to ask for more the 4.8 million and a player making 10 million wouldn't be able to ask for more than 16.
I'm willing to sign, David Pastrana at 16 million from age 27 to 35, not the 21 million he just asked for in this Franchise. He's asking for 21, and no teams can free up the cap space to sign him. I summed 6 years, and he still hasn't dropped his asking price and has never been signed. That seems like an issue, no?
But there is not a rule that limits the amount that can be demanded on a new contract.
I’m not disagreeing that the contact demands should be adjusted, but I think the only way would be to change the code used for it.
Which is exactly what we've been asking for. We want changes to the game that would require changing coding.
EA does it all the time for online features, but it ignores all by the most basic issues for offline modes.
So, would it be too much of a stretch to change these codes? Would it be all the much effort? Why doesn't Blueberry drop those answers on us?
[Removed - CM] Or does anyone know another simulator game that let's you actually handle a team? I hate the idea of going to Game Stop to buy NHL 18, and play the last edition of the game that felt fun.
