dwdufour Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I attempted to edit the contract.csv file in progress.big. I wanted big time free agents to ask for more money and more years, since that is the trend. For some reason, they now ask for more years, but they still ask for the same money. If someone has had success with this please let me know. Any ideas will be appreciated. Also, If I can get this to work, I would be happy to upload it here for download. Thanks.

UncleMo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Earlier today I was thinking of this same issue. I'd also like to see if they can change the amounts for, say 4 star and 5 star players, at age 27-32. Just what I was thinking earlier today.

SoCalDodger Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Another thing I have noticed about free agents are the older players and the years they are seeking on their contracts. I have guys approaching their mid-thirties seeking four-year deals. Anyone else experiencing this?

dwdufour Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've managed to get guys like Zito and Soriano to ask for 6-7 years, but they only ask for somewhere around 7 mil. Once the bidding starts its gets up there a little bit. Through simming I think the highest I saw Zito get was around 7 years @ 9.6 million per year. I have definitely changed the year demands but the money remains the same.

dwdufour Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Actually I've got a handle on the length of the contracts. My problem now is the money aspect. Also, I prefer bill harris's progression file. Your file seems to be a little too giving in the progression department. I simmed about 15 years with yours and there were consistently 30 + guys with 35+ homers. Bill Harris's seems to be a little more realistic in the stat department. Though I must say you are almost there with the rookies.big file. If the progression was toned down it would probably be near perfect. So any ideas on the money front?

ronmexico Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well all I can say is change the $acceptable, not the low and high asking prices, cause that is the actual value that determines whether they will sign.

GEOLINK Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I see some poor players asking for some Indespensible(sp?) contracts why is this Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/26126-problem-with-contracts/#findComment-351951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I see some poor players asking for some Indespensible(sp?) contracts why is this Cause the game overvalues them. You can lower their star rating, and then they won't ask for those kinds of contracts. PS Indispensable ;) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/26126-problem-with-contracts/#findComment-351953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I think the only thing missing is increasing the amount of money a player asks for. Especially 4 and 5 star players.

ronmexico Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Put it to a vote, do you want me to add more money 4 & 5 star players in another release? Also, what do you think about 1, 2 and 3 star player (money-wise)?

dwdufour Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I don't understand why the changes made in the money area wont take effect. I tried ridiculously high numbers and top level free agents are still only asking around 7.1 million. Unless they already made more than that.

ronmexico Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Well have you tried doing this before starting an offseason? It won't take effect otherwise. Try this in the beginning of a franchise, release a 5 star player in your rosters (before starting a dynasty) and see how much they ask for. I'll play around with it tommorow, or at worst this weekend, see what happens to me...

dwdufour Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I always start a new franchise after I make the changes. Then I sim a few seasons to double check.
