Don't want free agents

canaveral · 04-04-2009, 11:59 AM

I'm trying to play 1 team forward from 10 years ago with no free agents and no trades to see what would've happened. Under league setup, I have disabled free agents, no free agents from other major leagues allowed, and no arbitration allowed... Every off-season, the AI goes berserk signing free agents anyway. I deleted all free agents and the game crashes at the start of the next season. I will next try No Pepper's suggestion of 12 years for free agents and 1 year for arbitration... Very frustrating.

The suggestion is working better. Apparently I still must delete all free agents after each season.

Usually many (most) of the free agents are players who were released by their teams. Even if you play without financial there will be players who a let go by their team that will be called free agents but are just really 'available players'. The AI is releasing players and signing replacements (who are hopefully better) and filling retiring player openings.
