Separate league FA not working?

Cooleyvol · 03-23-2010, 10:19 AM

I have two leagues, running separate of each other. Both are set to 'no' on 'allow FA to leave league' yet both leagues may bid on the other's free agents.

Am I missing something?

I thought there was also a click button for "Allow to sign FAs from other leagues".

Although why your settings don't work now seems to be a bug.

Yeah, there are two checkboxes. If you uncheck both in both leagues, it should work:

not quite sure what could be going on if you left both those boxes unchecked in both leagues.

Is it an online league? different schedules for off-season? are the players maybe retiring first, then entering the FA pool?

just grasping at straws here.

If you wanted to zip up your universe and post or email it I wouldn't mind taking a look. Not saying I will figure it out, but could offer a different set of eyes.

Schedules are exactly the same for both leagues.

Online.

Hmmm, online league. This gives me a possible theory.

The AI of each team "knows" it is not allowed to bid on FAs from another league, but the human owners can. I know this sounds ridiculous, but we are talking OOTP.

I have never used those options in any of my universes, so I don't know how they normally work (or work in a solo universe I should say).

Why does the game not disallow one league's owners from even viewing the FA from the other on the FA screen is my question.

Yeah, I understand your question. I was just wondering if OOTP handles this some bass-ackwards way, instead of doing what is logical. (disallowing one league's owners from even viewing the FA from the other league).
