You are correct. Earl Burns was playing on a 4 year contract that did not include any Bonus money. And, so were the other Renogiated players for Denver.

That is something I have never understood about this game.
Why is there no Password protection for either the individual teams or at the very least the Commisioner? Last edited by WrongWay : 10-12-2005 at 04:27 PM. |

Apparently there was discussion about that (password protection) and the overall feeling was that if you can't trust the people in your league, what are you doing in that league. I feel there should be protection.

Question: If an owner tried using this technique to extend someone's contract would you see bonuses piggybacked on top of each other?
For example: The new cheat contract adds 5million bonus on a 5 year extension. The player in question has two years left on a deal, and the prorated bonus for those 2 years was 1 million each. The new contract bonus structure should look something like this normally: Year 1: 2m bonus with x base salary Year 2: 2m bonus with x base salary Year 3: 1m bonus with x base salary Year 4: 1m bonus with x base salary Year 5: 1m bonus with x base salary Would this cheat eliminate the existing bonuses for years 1+2 from the old deal? From what i gather it would, and the old bonus $ would show up as lost cap room. |

While we are on the concept of "cheats," why is it so easy to sign say 3 good OLB or something, and then alternately start 2 every year, and renegotiate the one guy that sat all the previous year for minimal money. Or if your stud QB gets hurt, misses 10 weeks, and comes back fully healed, and now only wants minimum salary. This type of shit isn't as shady as say the gmac contract status, but its every bit as bad. In the future version, something as miniscule as "games started" should not count in regards to a negotiation that takes the salary downward. Maybe if a good player who is still maxed out in skills gets hurt, he may ask for one year of minimal contract money, but never should ask for a 3 or 4 year contract.

This cheat sounds like it would also work on Franchised Players. Since they are on a 1 year deal with no bonus, they could conceivable be cut during FA2 and resigned at a fraction of what they would be asking if you were to renegotiate their franchise contract. Can somebody verify this?

Technological security may give people a false sense of security. People will always be willing to cheat. Passwords will, among other things, make us complacent about catching cheaters. I agree with the model of not wasting Jim's time in an arms race against the cheaters--and leaving it up to us to be careful about those with whom we play. YMMV, but I like the way it works. And, FWIW, I would never accept unsecure software if there is, for instance, money involved. But, since FOF is just fun for me, I figure that I can leave if I ever feel that I am getting cheated. |

San Diego QB Aurthur Beckstein(Brees) is on a one year franchise contract for 6.62 million. he wants 8.24 bonus Salaries of 910 4.3 5.4 6.7 7.9 9.1 I decide to be ultra sneaky, and do this renegotiation before the last stage of second FA. His demands are 5.64 bonus 560k 2.3 2.9 3.6 4.2 4.8 But Brees does not sign the new contract, and it reverts to his franchised value, despite my attempt to cheat. |

How many holdouts are you actually seeing? I think it could go up like 10 fold, and then it might work its way out better. |

I think that there were maybe like 10 hold outs in the last wigFL offseason, maybe less? I'll pay more attention next year.

dola, if that, maybe more like 5-6. I would think the NFL number, if you include guys that bitch about their contract, threaten to hold out, but still show up to camp "for the good of the team" would have to be closer to 20-30 league wide? Easily?

and when caught they should accept a fair penalty. the fair penalty is expulsion and being black listed in MP leagues IMO.

Like all sports in real life there are other punishments than the death penalty. This cheat has that Nascar feel where they "accidentally" run with an illegal part. You know total B.S. to say "Oops" but they try anyway. Or, maybe more like Sammy Sosa; Do you think Sammy Sosa should of been thrown out of baseball forever for using a corked bat? |

Really, cause every MP league out there is trying its best to simulate the real world as close as possible. And handing out the death penalty for every punishment just does not happen in the real world.

I am 99% sure this guy applied for a spot in the CFL.
I have so much cap room in the CFL, everyone probably thinks I cheat.

As I said in response to WrongWay's post in the FastFL forum, It's the fact that everyone knows this is for fun and when someone blatanty makes it un-fun for other players, they should be punished.

at least make a correct comparsion if you want to compare things... this is akin to a team sneaking into another teams offices, cutting a player, then signing him for themselves at the vet minimum. puh-lease, this does not happen in real life. |

What about comparing this to say cheating on your golf game? Not a PGA game, just you and 3 buddies out for a saturday round?
A mulligan? A better lie? A 5 instead of a 7? Hitting the ball from out of bounds? The maximum Ball limit? I have to admit that I contiune to play with some cheaters AND I sometimes bend the rules myslef. Last edited by WrongWay : 10-13-2005 at 12:47 AM. |

This isn't simply bending the rules though. The only way he could have done this was by going into commissioner mode and simming that way. You honestly want a guy in our league that does that? I really hope that no one else is doing it....

so I guess I'll be the ass and come out and say what other's are probably thinking. you're gmac right? I mean, giving me a fucking break. This isn't some minor bending of the rules going on. You seem hellbent in portraying this as some minor thing when it's a clear and deliberate attempt to blatantly cheat. Like I said, you show me an NFL team that goes releases a player from another team and then signs them for themselves before anyone else gets a chance (or something similar) and we'll talk. |

I see wrongway's point, in Imperial one player had some questionable contracts, and in the SFL one player blatently went over the cap for a season in a way that was deemed unfair. Both teams received minor penalties, took their medicine, and are still viable members of the league. But I think what this guy did is clearly outside of the game mechanics and can in no way be construed as an honest mistake. Moreover, he knows he is guilty, because he made the bonus fit in with the rest around him to avoid undue attention.
