How can I fix FA's not getting signed through Opening Day

[BBMogulLover21]

Hey there you guys I have a question about the newer patches of BB2k5.... I have not played BBM2k5 for 6 months because I had moved to Louisiana and did not bring the CPU that had it but since the hurricane happened I had to move back to where I used to live and have it again.... I updated the new patches thinking they would be good.... but im noticing lots of FA's never getting signed even going into the next season even Cy Young winners like Ben Sheets who had a 2.10 ERA 220 K's and 21 wins and like no top pitchers were signed and was already April 1st.... first off why did we do this? It wasnt like this before I got the new patches and second do you know how to fix it

The same thing happened to me.

I had to go back to patch 7.07.

You can try lowering salaries by 20%, and increasing revenue by 20% (or 10%) in the league options menu.

[SFSteveG]

Most people lower salaries by 20% and increase revenue by 20%. While you're there, lower injuries by 20% too.

[BBMogulLover21]

Ok sounds good.... I tried to lower salary request by 20 % but didnt increase the League Revenue by 20% and yes I should decrease the Injuries shouldn't I? lol.... they get hurt a bit too much lol

[BBMogulLover21]

Any other tips you guys may have for me having to do with some of the newer updates or even more comments about what is bugging me already as is?

bblover, if you ever want to get back into BMO, let me know...I have a few good leagues for you :) including AGML.

[BBMogulLover21]

WOW BMO and AGML... good times good times... I really do miss BMO and especially AGML since I used to have an account with 10 teams lol.... but at this moment after having gone through the hurricane I am in a deep money situation where I would not be able to join at the moment..... but sure good to see ya bro been a long time..... Going back to the subject.... -20 for Demands.... +20 for revenue... -20 for BOTH Injury severity AND frequency or just one? And what about promotions to A,AA and AAA what do you guys suggest?

[adam]

I always want to go way up on the minors, say +50 for each one.

Otherwise, I end up with nothing but rookie level players.

[HoustonGM]

i usually do 50/50 for AAA and AA, and like 80 for A. the AI leaves players in the rookiue league FAR too long, even at it set to 80.

[SFSteveG]

I'll admit I don't pay as much attention as some of the other people probably do but the only minor league adjustment I make is +20A.

[SFSteveG]

Oh, and also, I use the injury settings at -20% for both.

[BBMogulLover21]

Okay I give up this is driving me insane and it wasn't like this at all 6 months ago.... even with +40% on revenue and -40% on salary demands there are STILL only like 15 players being signed in the offseason.... how in the world can I patch back over the the patch before this glitch started and how do I get it to revert back to that patch once I do so? Game is glitchier now than what it was :(

[HoustonGM]

I have the same FA problems :(

[rollsroyce11991]

Most people lower salaries by 20% and increase revenue by 20%. While you're there, lower injuries by 20% too.
Works for me :)

[BBMogulLover21]

Yes but that's the thing yes +20% and -20% does work but still not how it should heck even +40,-40 yes people get signed more than they would if it was 0,0 but 20 players or so signed overall from FA is still wayyy to low a number. So does anyone know how I can revert back to the patch before this bug occured

[boomboom]

sorry to ask this, which version are you using...I only have BM2k6 with patch 8.41 installed...if you are using v7, i suggest using 7.15.

[BBMogulLover21]

Yes Im also currently on version 8.41 but it is still doing the problem with the FA's

[HoustonGM]

I'm using 8.42, same problem
