Clarification on FA Compensation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive read the game guide on FA compensation, but some questions still arose. im hoping someone can help clear them up...

- How does FA compensation work if draft pick trades are enabled? for example, team 1 and team 2 make a trade, with team 2 sending its first round pick to team 1. during the offseason, team 2 signs a type A FA from team 3. team 2 would then need to send its 1st round pick to team 3, but its already been traded to team 1. does the pick get taken from team 1 and given to team 3, or does team 3 get screwed?

- what happens if a team signs more than 1 type A or type B FA in the same offseason?

Any other insight would be helpful if i missed an important question, just trying to figure out which direction my leagues should take. Thanks!

FA compensation isn't working right now or I'd test it and find out.

From what was said at one point, but what's said and what's real is two different things, if a team has already lost or traded his #1 pick, the team would get his #2 pick... in the case of a type A. If he's lost or given the #2 he'd lose the #3 to that team etc...

Just conjecture at this point... if I think of it I'll test it out and post back when FA compensation is made to work.

Tysok, you get this figured out? I always thought that if it was a type A then the team would lose #1. If they then got another type A, they'd lose nothing because they already lost their #1. I may be wrong, but thought that's how it worked. Also, teams 1-15 in the draft order can't lose their #1 picks.

I looked through the "logged issues" threads for some evidence that FA compensation has been given a TT number, but couldn't find anything.

The problem that I have noticed is that a FA is listed as requiring no compensation for me to sign him, then after he has a contract I get an e-mail from the Commissioner's Office, telling me that I now owe someone else my #1 draft pick!

Talk about sneaky . . .

Finally able to log in to TT... no idea... anyhow this is/was TT 3194

It's claimed fixed.

I haven't even opened the game in a while. Something happened and it resorts the roster section of the lineup screen after each simmed day, as well as other times that have been mentioned... this made the way I play take about twice as long to play through a year as before so I've been fairly bummed out.

If I get a chance this weekend I'll check this TT in another league and see if it's fixed and if so what happens.
