Can we go back to the old IFA rules next offseason? This new system is garbage and doesn’t help small market teams. Top IFAs now choose the biggest, best teams, so rebuilding teams will never get a top IFA.
I did basically this the first couple seasons. We’ll see how it pans out.I don't really have an opinion one way or another.
I will say that this about the current model- it gives the opportunity to sign either a single high-end prospect or a ton of... other guys. Has anyone tried yet to just sign a bunch of the so-so guys for cheap at the end of the signing period? It might not be a bad strategy.
IFA is now basically a reverse draft where best team offers max and gets first pick.
As I've noted before this doesnt matter as you would think. We are generating double the guys purely for talent concentration, so the talent pool isnt harmed by a bunch of .5star(I know, stars) talent going unsigned. It simply means most people are going for one guy and that's it.The biggest problem I have with it is 23 guys are still left in IFA... We have this huge backlog of unsigned guys. It's going to screw with the talent pool BIG time.
Isn't IFA (and lots the game) just giving guys experience and seeing who "pops"? It changed a few years ago where the difference between when someone is signed in IFA/drafted and what they turn into can be huge.As I've noted before this doesnt matter as you would think.

Sure, but no one is going for a strategy of grabbing 5 lotto ticket guys in IFA. That's not necessarily a fault of the system. Imo the optimal strategy is go all out for your top guy and if you miss him then spread the wealthIsn't IFA (and lots the game) just giving guys experience and seeing who "pops"?

A ghost!boy who could’ve possibly seen this coming
I'm going for quantity not quality. Always have with IFA. I believe it's a numbers game.Sure, but no one is going for a strategy of grabbing 5 lotto ticket guys in IFA.

Why are you voting no? What possible advantage does this system have for anyone not named LV, Seoul, Dublin, Helsa, Buffalo?

Is it though? Ive gotten two 5* potential guys the last two IFA periods and ive been one of the worst teams in the league
If a better team offered the same dollar amount, they would have signed with the other team.
what designates a "better team"? Better fan loyalty? Better results last season? Better results last 5 seasons? All combined?
Yeah. Borg has not been a good team, but the first few seasons of these rules I just tried to sign 3+ players each year. Last year was the first year I threw all my money at one player and I’m not even sure they were worth it.Im fine with whichever way. Ive been a have not and it hasnt stopped me from getting 2 5*s in a row. I got them the other way as well. Hakuna matata

Sure they look like garbage now-- but random IFA guys pop way more than random draft guys. League is littered with small buy IFA players who are reel e good.Aren’t they garbage?
IFA guys? I had like $30M last season that I couldn't do anything with, but I already reached the cap for IFA guys, so I couldn't sign any. Probably going to be the same thing this season as I have almost $80M available.Did anyone have money left late in the year to see if they would sign on the cheap? I signed guys for Buffalo & UK midseason and they were sticking to their demands.

I hvae a little cap left, let me see...okay to do it during this sim?
Are we sure this is true? Could it be people just pick those guys up more often than all the undrafted players who are poopooSure they look like garbage now-- but random IFA guys pop way more than random draft guys. League is littered with small buy IFA players who are reel e good.
