Not receiving Free Agents

Zanth · 06-14-2006, 06:55 PM

I installed OOTP2006 almost 2 weeks ago. I have recently patched to the current version.

I am simming with MLB2005 stats. In the beginning there was a large pool of free agents. I had a ton of money so I tried to buy alot of them, some expensive, some cheap. I didn't get any responses so I set up everything else and simmed to Spring Training which was about 3 months. 2 of my scouts found prospects, so I know something was going on. However, I still didn't receive any notice from the Free Agents I had offered contracts.

By this point the waiver wire is available, I claimed 5 players. Simmed the first week of spring training and guess what...still no free agents but also noone from waivers came to my team. I looked at the waiver wire and there are only 5 ppl left on waivers. I checked the settings and I have it set to a 3 day period. Curious about why I didn't get anyone, I did a search for the one player I could remember claiming. He is now a Free Agent!

My question is why aren't I getting the people I have claimed from waivers even though it says my claim is accepted and why haven't I received any responses from the free agents. By now I would have expected some response... I am 14 days into Spring Training now... I don't have any cash left in my pool because it has been deducted each time I made an offer, and since nobody has replied to even cancel, its still being deducted.

did you check the 40 man roster and DFA list?

I look at the news page first thing. I've gotten notices for ppl off waivers but not for Free Agents.

Looking at the DA page, the only ppl there are from the waivers.

Zanth,

I'm sorry for the slow response to this thread.

Are you still having this issue? I suspect that the issue is that you are a commissioner, controlling a team using the "Act As" feature, instead of actually being the full-time manager.

When you "act as," you do not receive messages such as trade responses or FA responses. To do that, you must actually sign on as the full-time manager of that team through the Available Jobs page.

Please let me know if this helps at all.

Thanks,

Steve

We have a new rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
