FA Offers....

[NetsGM]

The instructions on the FA page say pick Max and # of years, and the rest will be automatically filled in. I noticed that when I entered max for 6 years for one ex-King  , it entered a raise of 12.5% rather than the 10% I'm supposed to be able to offer. I noticed I can also enter 7 years rather than the rule listed max of 6 years.

yeah, i was wondering the same.

I don't want to get one or both of your premium guys by virtue of an accounting matter 
Bods has clarified things, so you can rest easy....for now.
But...I think you *might* want to get ready to change your sig

well, right now we have to wait on the final day of draft simming anyway, so I wonder how our schedule might change since we've got 2 days delay already.

What's so premier about them?

that's because you can't offer minimum players two year contracts....

Reason:
Let's say you take a guy and give him a minimum salary of 465k.  For his second year, with a 10% raise, that would be a max salary 511k.  The minimum based on experience is 540k.  Doesn't work.

Let's say you offer someone a 2 year minimum, and the guy has 4 years of experience.  You offer him 590k his first year (the minimum based on experience).  With 10% raises, that gives you the ability to offer him a max of 649k his second year.  Uh oh.  Minimum allowed based on someone with 5 years experience is 653k.

You can't do 2 year minimum contracts.  Never have been able to, and it's clearly written that minimum contracts are one year deals in the rules.

Where have you been the last 15 sim seasons?

uhmm you did it.

And you can sign minimum players to two year deals, but the only stipulation is the contract for the 2nd year can't be less than the minimum allowed based on experience, which it often is because the raises aren't enough.

Well, I must have been drunk then.

If you want to make an offer, don't select the "min" dropdown.  Rather do a custom, enter the minimum salary he can make best on experience, 2 years, and the raise, and let HawksGM decide on whether or not it should be allowed.

I KNEW it had happened before ...

yeah, did it earlier just to make sure, and asked him if its allowed. I guess we'll know soon..
