Contract Bug

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 05:10 PM

Offering a contract to an angry player (just to see what would happen) and I stumbled upon this bug:

But I didn't think he was on waivers:

Bluenoser · 12-22-2011, 05:18 PM

I don't see a problem.

1. Why would you offer a contract to a player who doesn't require one?

2. Why would you offer a contract to a player on waivers, given that he could be picked up by another team?

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 05:30 PM

uggghh....My point is that he's NOT on waivers, yet it is saying I cannot offer him a contract because he is. You have to look before you simply just challenge anything and everything I might say or suggest. Not sure why you are, but you seem to have an issue with anything I present here.

EKomrska15 · 12-22-2011, 06:49 PM

hit finish day and see if you still get this issue.

Bluenoser · 12-22-2011, 07:50 PM

He cleared waivers, but has he actually been removed from the waiver wire?

I understand you get touchy with those who don't agree with your every inuation of a problem. I'm trying to point out some obvious things here. Relax.

I'll skip all further posts by you and save us both the grief.

Sorry...I had placed him on waivers about a week or so ago, so that's why I feel it's an issue. In the screens above it also states he had cleared waivers.

RchW · 12-22-2011, 08:51 PM

It's clearly not a bug. Would a real GM do this?

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 09:04 PM

Do what?

Marinersfan51 · 12-22-2011, 09:14 PM

He is still on waivers, even though he has cleared, you have to remove him from waivers, it should let you do that, to offer him a contract.

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 09:54 PM

but he has cleared waivers...what are you talking about? I was testing the game actually to see what his reaction would be to a contract offer since he's so angry. But that doesn't take away from the fact that he's cleared waiver, and is currently on a minor league roster. Why shouldn't I be able to offer a contract? If you look at the screen shots, it's plain to see he has already cleared waivers, and on a minor league roster.

SandMan · 12-22-2011, 09:57 PM

Is the player on your 40-man roster? If not I don't think you can offer him a ML contract.

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 10:00 PM

No, he's not..but the problem is that I cannot offer ANY kind of contract. When I hit the "offer extension" button, the message saying I can't offer a player on waivers a contract comes right up, with no options to change the contract type. This is clearly a bug.

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 10:05 PM

Here it is again:

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 10:06 PM

It appears to be a problem with any players who has been on waivers...even if they cleared long ago. This needs to be fixed, as it's pretty serious I think.

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 10:20 PM

I found a temporary workaround for now, but it also raises a new question. If I remove all players who have ever cleared waivers from the "waivers" section of the "Transactions Screen" (waivers & DFA) I can then offer the players' contracts. The AI however does not do this. It allows all players who have ever cleared waivers to sit there. (which shouldn't be a problem, but now is for some reason) So my question is: Would an AI team be able to offer contracts' to these players if it wanted to?

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 10:36 PM

I have now even used commissioner mode to act as another team and offer a player who has cleared waivers a contract..same problem. I hope we can get this fixed. I don't remember this being present in the past.

falkonisback · 12-22-2011, 11:11 PM

Personally, I think that a player who clears waivers should just automatically be removed as soon as he clears..no reason for him to stay on there.

PSUColonel · 12-22-2011, 11:25 PM

well, he isn't really on waivers anymore, he's just in that list where it says "cleared" next to the player's name. It IS clear however, that the Ai is mistaking a player who is in this box for being on waivers when it comes to the offering of a contract..which isn't good

He is still under contract, on a minor league roster and not in your plans right now. What GM would offer a contract under these circumstances?
