Free Agency Problem

DonBuddin · 08-28-2006, 12:00 AM

I run a league that is using OOTP6.5, in our 6th season.

Whenever we go on to Free agency, if a player is a FA two years in a row, whenever I import the offers, the offers from the previous year are imported. For example:
In 2008, Colorado bids for Bobby Abreu...2 years/$5 million. Abreu signs with Florida for 2 years/$7million. Florida releases him at the end of the year.

Now in 2009, Colorado hasn't bid on him this offseason, but when I import the FA offers, the 2 years/$5 million offer is imported.

This has happened in the past, but we've just manually fixed it. I was just wondering how to clear previous FA offers.

Make sure all old files/imports(team exports) are deleted.

I went into the ootp folder in the ftp and deleted all the .exp files.

It still happened.

I think you need to delete the exports on the web server also (if I recall free agent offers are of the format "FA*.dat"). OOTP will grab ALL offers in the /exports directory from your server when you "Import FA Offers". I'm pretty sure it doesn't see a difference in this year versus previous years. In my league, I clear out ALL the exports at the end of the season.

FYI - you can do this with an FTP client or (if you have it on your web server) cPanel File Manager.

Yep, you have to delete all of those files on your server just as kevin states.
