Players adjust their demands based on the time of year, and how much cash the clubs have. It's June, and a lot of your teams have bad finances. They took deals that get them onto the playing field.
When you value Profit over Wins, this sort of stuff will happen.
The logjam is already breaking. People in the PEBA see that Crystal Lake ( where I grew up, I might add...right down the street from Elm St, and South Park...) looted two fellows at cut rate deals. I see that the Hitmen scored a guy for $4m, so did Aurora. The dam is starting to break. I can't imagine (if teams have cash...) that GM's will allow this to happen again. Next March, a GM will offer a deal at 33% of the player's demand, and the player will sign it. |
Completely different situation. The Hitmen signed a guy who was asking for about $9 million per season. I signed him to a half season at $4 million, pretty close to his asking. If I had offered him 4 years at $4 million, he either wouldn't have signed, or shouldn't have signed. If the AI allows 5-star guys to sign for less than the league average
for long term, that's ridiculous. For half a season, fine. But for multiple years, that's just stupid.
