    Quick question lads, Brees hasn't retired, does that mean I'm safe or will he spring a surprise during the rest of the offseason?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,284 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    He can still retire during the off season, even after the draft, which would be a right pain..

    Bollocks. At least I know now anyway. He has retired on almost all simulated franchises I have ran but usually at the start of free agency. Oh well, Bray is signed up and ready to go if needed :)

    I've been away over Christmas and won't get back to Ireland until 1st/2nd, so won't have a chance to check out my team (Eagles) until then.

    Anything I can do to stop players out of contract being snapped up, or even find out who that might be? Thinking Vick and Maclin may be in that list. Or do people think that I am safe to wait the few days until I am back at home?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,284 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Well, did you offer your free agents contracts during the season? If not they could all be going to free agency.

    Can you log into the connected career website and do it from there?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Nope pudsy, has to be done on XBL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,843 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    Jokeshop stuff from ea as usual.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Thoughts on the below lads?

    Resignings open til 10pm Friday
    FA1 open til 10pm Sunday
    FA2 open til 6pm Tuesday
    FA 3 open til 9pm Wednesday (can scout draft 9pm Wednesday evening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,189 ✭✭✭PADRAIC.M


    When's draft?

    Sounds good on the timings Heli. What way will free agency work? The same as we always do it, each team picks a player in each round, or is it done differently?

    Also, what is the order for free agency picks if we are each picking one player or is it a free-for-all?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,284 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    There is a free agency bidding process, in 3 stages. You offer them a contract and then they decide which one to accept.

    After the draft FA reverts to the usual free agency where you can pick up whoever you want cap permitting. At this stage (and throughout the season) we limit people to 1 FA pickup per gameweek.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Usual FA rules about 4 year contracts and no more then 25% guaranteed?

    I think that was the rule? I suppose this needs to be made clear before we begin

    And hands off Arthur Jones!!

    Its 20% isnt it and whose arthur jones ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,189 ✭✭✭PADRAIC.M


    Yeah it's bonus can't be more than 20% of the salary and no more than 4 years, anymore and you will have to cut the player and suffer the cap hit!

    I hate the 48hr wait for them to decide, i do feel like the bank robber in dirty harry ''I gots to know''

    Then its jump on at 10 and see they've still not decided what they're doing ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,189 ✭✭✭PADRAIC.M


    Schedule is good for me but I could also do a 24 hour fa window as I have all my resignings done


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Is there a 2nd stage of resigning players, i mistakingly dismissed it on the actions screen and cant access it from the Roster page.

    ....nope...or at least I don't think so


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    You can the option of doing it yourself or delegating, some of them will be resigned by the CPU I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar

    No cant do it by myself, the re-sign option on the manage roster page is locked, it dont matter really, ive re-signed who i needed to but was thinking about franchise tagging a player. He can walk now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭giffney1991


    Thought this was advancing tonight...I am disappoint!

    Someone doesn't read my posts!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    the advance will be about 5:30 today


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    I'm going to rush home!

    And then most likely seem my targets want to wait for the last gameweek advance :(

    yeah sad but true mike

    I remember i had bid on a few guys last year, no one else bid on them and they still wouldnt come to Tennessee!

    Well, at least its realistic.

    surely if you throw enough money at someone they go if no one else is bidding on them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,843 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    I've bid on 9 or 10, fingers crossed I get most of them. I didn't realise I had so much cap space. Although not having a first round pick is pretty crappy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    only 2 FA deals for me and that may change to 1 when i get home, Draft is where it'll be at for me, although when the CPU teams draft who i want, im not sure what i'll do.

    Yeah with so many CPU teams being there, it really is a lotterly on who'll they pick up!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    the advance will be about 5:30 today

    just a reminder, this will be @ 5:30 and not 6


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    advanced!

    Still have signed anyone!


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭giffney1991


    Once again, nobody big signed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Yeah Fcuk them anyway, i needed a decision from 1 of them tonight, ive a potential deal in place and i need it done before the draft.

    Heli is there any chance we could advance to the next stage later on or an hour or 2 before the draft tomorrow.....or is the next stage straight to draft.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Yep, I can do it tomorrow day time if people want?
    Say around 5pm?

    That will give people 4 hours to do some scouting after finding out who they got in FA.

    Thank the post if you want to go for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    I'd be all for advancing it tonight even!

    I know that's not possible though :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Ravens sign Bengals cast off Aaron Maybin LOLB. Cheap one year deal with no guaranteed money

    Have lots of expensive bids out there, nobody else signed.

    I see the Saints signed a QB; Bethel Thompson. Interesting

    Happy with how the team is shaping up. If I can get a few big names through the door tomorrow I'll be in great shape. If Dansby comes in I will have the best linebacker corp in the league :cool: And monster corners.

    Edit: Also I'd love if Eric Decker came in, although the Bengals are causing problems :mad:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    I may go all in for dansby.. I need me a good MLB


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Ravens may have put in a nice bid for Decker too ;)

    Actually I saw that. He'd be a nice bonus, but he's not a priority.

    Edit: you're the Ravens, you don't have much cash :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Cut a lot of dead wood :cool:

    Tamba Hali,Justin Houston and Derrick Johnson disagree :D

    Alotta competition for Dansby,I would't be a fan of him though.
    Chiefs only sign 2 backups,TE Lorig and CB Munnerlyn,both wanted a million but times are tight so they settled for 700k and 800k in the end :pac:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    will do the advance sometime between 4-5, as im not at my desk a huge amount after lunch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭guns4all


    What kinda time we looking at starting the draft later tonight?

    9pm, sharp


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,557 ✭✭✭madalig12


    Do we have to be in party chats or if we are on the main draft page does that allow chat to be heard by all?
