It it completely unrealistic? Yeah. But I think it's unfair of you to blame ducky for capitalizing on an opportunity... it's the whole point of cap space. Most of the time you're not going to get an absolute stud, but guys like Sven are available, and it was smart of him to recognize that you weren't going to be able to offer max money. Ducky is an idiot for offering him only 1 year though. Sven's 25 and might still improve a bit. I'm not blaming Ducky. I'm blaming FBB for being incredibly flawed. It just sucks because I lose a solid player when I gave him probably the best contract he had offered to him. On top of that, it was for a one-year deal that a team in my situation couldn't compete with. I was willing to take the chance on giving him a long-term deal. It's unfair that teams willing to do so are punished because they don't choose to offer him a cop-out deal. "a lazy, cheap way to acquire a player"... it sounded like somewhat of an attack. my bad for interpreting it like that.

We had a conversation about this a while back and I think the general consensus was that you should be able to use your cap the way you want to. FA is about taking chances and Maniac took a chance not offering him a max for certain number of years. Not saying Sven is worth a max, but that's what it would have taken to get him back. A max is clearly not what it would've taken to get Sven back. I think a GM takes a bigger chance by offering a long-term contract than making a shitty 1-year deal. Anyone can go down through a FA list, pick out 5 decent looking players and make a bunch of 1-year deals. It's a flaw in the game. Flaws in a game should be fixed whenever possible.

You can see how he progresses and then decide if he deserves more cash in the future. True, but you take the chance that someone else notices that improvement and offers big money as well.

Could Maniac even offered MAX first year money? I dont think so. Not without going over the HC, no. However, you have to take into consideration your teams finances and the fact that someone would possibly offer him a max of some sort and in turn weigh your options as to whether you want to chance resigning him in the offseason.

I also don't, however, like people taking advantage of a flaw. It annoys me.

Appearantly, a max IS what it would have taken to get him back, because that is what Ducky offered him.

However, you have to take into consideration your teams finances and the fact that someone would possibly offer him a max of some sort and in turn weigh your options as to whether you want to chance resigning him in the offseason. Yeah, but I gave him a bigger offer than Ducky. 5 years/48 million or 1 year/12.5 million? Any player with a brain would take the first offer.

The creator of the game has some serious issues and doesnt seem to have the heart to finish it. Thing is, the game isnt that far from being extremely good. Some minor tweaks would improve it greatly.

If a bad team, in real life offers a player a 1 year max and this player knows he's going to get plenty of playing time and probably get any contract he wants next free agency, how unrealistic is that? I don't it's unrealistic a player would choose a contract like this, it IS unrealistic a team would offer something like that though,
