contract re-negotiations

[Guggy107]

is it beneficial at all to wait to re-negotiate someones contract mid-season? for exampe, roy just said he wanted a contract extension, and its early november. so i go in and he wants 13.25 mil the first year. if i wait until february or so, will his demands change at all, or are they going to be the same all year?

Save, simulate, and find out?

It'll change. I had Steve Nash on the Knicks, he wanted an extension but only for 735k or something like that. I decided I didn't wanna resign him to give the reigns to Tyreke Evans and at the end of the year, he wanted about 4.35 mil from me. It's all dependent on Ambition I think.

at the end of the year as in before the regular season ended? or during free agency in the offseason? thats a huge difference.

At the end of the year during the "Resign Players" phase but before the free agency period.

When I re-negotiated my guy's contract mid-season, the next season he played for free. So about half my team was playing for $0 and I didn't notice until after I used all my cap space to sign Lebron James so it pretty much ruined my association.

I noticed that some players will take the same price but others want way more if you wait till the resigning period.

I signed Grant Hill to a one year deal at the minimum and he wanted an extension but I waited till the resigning period and by then he wanted about 4 million for one year which I refused to pay. Had I extended his contract during the season he would have taken far less.

I basically just save the game and simulate to the end and see what happens. Kinda cheating but meh.

huh? is this a common bug? was it just the one guy playing for free, or did it actually mess up the contracts of the other players on your team?


also, thanks to everyone for the info. but i was wondering if a guy will ask for more later in the regular season. so will there be a difference if i re-negotiate in november versus if i re-negotiate in march.
