eMLB found out the hard way that when you use the in-game FA compensation system, no one would sign a Free Agent, ever. About halfway through the first offseason, determining what sort of FA compensation would be earned was based comparing the average yearly contract value that the Free Agent signed to a chart. That instantly broke the ice.
OOTP GM's value draft picks far more than real ones. This may be caused by several reasons. I submit this is because OOTP is more reliable/predictable development of premium draft choices, because draft picks are always signed vs being somewhat of a crap-shoot in real life, and because real GM's have intense personal financial incentives to win right away.
No OOTP GM has had to pull their kids out of private high school because they couldn't pay the $130,000 a year tuition because they went 75-87.
