Hi,

Running into my first free agency after the draft.

- It takes a lot of time to start with only few contracts signed before the 2nd of August where all big players choose their next destination. This is 2 days before the deadline.
- The contract are not realistic for most the top names (probably why they were waiting that long to sign)

+ Anthony Davis to Houston for 9.4M a year (4 years contract)
+ Andre Drummond to Detroit for 12M/13M a year
+ Ingram to New Orleans for 10M/11M a year
+ VanVleet to Toronto for 10M a year

Looking at potential solution for this situation :

- Ensure the Lakers are properly categorized as winner before the season (maybe by adding the recent title)
- Increase willingness to spend for Jeanie Buss (contract proposed was 86M over 4 years according to rumors)
- Maybe have a look at star player that they wouldn't lock themself 4 years on a contract that small - AD refuse his 28M player option

Except for that, I just spent 1 hour and half diving in this new DDSPB and it is very immersive. The new UI is spot on and I could'nt find a bug (except for few db tweak or oddity). Truly a great job Gary and very exciting to be playing this new version!

Good to see you around Chili!

I know there’s a Greed and Play for Winner stats but would an added Play for Big Market fit in here to help?

There is a bug in the first season free agency when starting in the offseason - free agency considers their prior year stats but when you start in the offseason those stats are not built into their player cards like they are coming off a normal season. When I add the basic stats in at league creation the numbers become much more normal like you see in future seasons. This will be corrected in the next build

Thanks Gary... I'm guessing we need to restart for this to take effect?

Great news!

Hi Rizzo, nice to hear from you! The new DDSPF is bringing me slowly to sim world
How's life? And the CSL?

Yes when the next build is released you would have to create a new league - its only a problem in the initial run of free agency if you start in the offseason - after that all future free agency amounts are proper

Thanks! I like the offseason start so I'll do that when the next patch drops.
