"I will text the market because I'm unhappy with my playing time"

JerseyPride · 06-09-2004, 03:27 PM

I've received the message "I will not resign because I am unhappy with my playing time" from two of my star players. Both of these player are starters on my team, and hardly ever sit out.

Why would I be getting this message?

zyk · 06-09-2004, 03:41 PM

because it was poorly coded

Bingo.

It's all about quality time, not quantity time.

PotatoPeeler · 06-09-2004, 04:43 PM

The only times I've seen that is when I've had a star player go down to injury and miss 7 or 8 weeks. Probably something that needs to be tweaked.

Well this sucks. I'm goign to lose two star players in my Online League.

Well, if you're not in contention, you can always trade them for some stud prospects.

Mike Ivie · 06-09-2004, 06:01 PM

do they say "text" or "test"? Not that it really matters I guess.

jazzrack · 06-09-2004, 08:32 PM

if you are still early in the season just wait, i have seen that messege change after some time has passed

For jeeb's sake, what is the world coming to when players start negotiating via text message.

What's really messed up is when you get this message from a guy you traded for who rode the bench on your old team and has been starting for you since he came. Anyone else ever get that?

I hate that.

I think the "reasons" player's give are more or less random. There is probably some logic in place, but obviously it doesn't always work correctly. This probably needs to be tightened up.
Moving this to the OOTP Problems thread...

Just so I know.. is this an actual bug? Can I expect this response to change after a new patch is finished?

lack of playing time complaint by the player is also happening when you have a player injure and you place him on the disable list.

when you try to do an extension he complains about his playing time...tha should not happen if he was injure...
