"Signoff" on transactions

tenthreeleader · 01-14-2016, 04:56 PM

One more question as I get into the game. Thanks for indulging me.

I bought this game primarily to manage, but there are things I want to control in-game such as major and minor league callups, so I selected "Manager and GM" to play.

I don't want to have to search for free agents and what not, so I delegated that responsibility to my assistant, but now I see he has signed Jorge Cantu to a major league contract. Since I've got this guy named Mauer sucking up $23 million of payroll already playing there, Cantu is just taking up a spot on my 40-man and I have to waive him before I can send him to AAA and make major league money.

Which leads me to my question: is there a way to "sign off" on a FA contract and stop an AI signing that defies common sense, or do I have to bite the bullet and do all the FA negotiations myself?

Do it yourself or trust in the AI.

You could go into commissioner mode and edit/undo any transactions you wouldn't sign off on.

I thought about commissioner mode. I went there and then thought better of it because I don't want to get in the habit of using the editor when something happens that I don't like.

I have played and playtested the Football Manager series of games with SEGA in the past and see a lot of similarities between the games. But one thing they do is have a "Director of Football" position whose duties can either be subject to the manager or not.

This allows the "signoff" I mentioned earlier, and if people want to stay out of the editor, allowing the human player the final say on FA might be a wish list item.

Thanks!
