EDIT: Want to test something. Maybe it's just something from old versions...

Back to the general topic...

It should maybe be noted that the dynamics of signing a player in an online league are a fair bit different. If you have a good idea that someone else is bidding on a player and he's a good enough player, you probably best not offer less than what he's asking. If you think he'll really be sought after, you best just offer him close to as high as you'll go asap. And if you're leading after a sim with a player like that you better be ready to up your offer even more from your leading offer because you know another team is probably going to want to better that offer of yours. As a result of all this, (in a cap league at least) I really don't like bidding on players I think are highly sought after because chances are you'll end up over-paying if you do end up getting him. I recommend looking for those players who might not be as good, but will likely be worth what you pay for them.
