Preveza Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just finishing my season with Forest Green in the BSP and I am going to finish top of the table However my 6 best players' contracts are ending in 3 months and when I go to offer then a new deal, they are requesting non contract terms which means I only pay them an appearance fee!!!?? They are currently on full time contracts so why would they want a non contract term? I am so pissed off. I am going to lose half my team. Is there something I should know?

jordas Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 But how is it: even though they are requesting N/C terms, you are surely able to change the contract type manually? It would also be interesting to know what an AI manager would do: would he comply with the request of a N/C or change the contract type? Even on the first day of the game, you will have seen that several F/T players in the Forest Green squad request N/C terms: James Norwood, Matt Taylor, Jamie Turley, Jeffrey Imudia, Chris Stokes, Kieron Forbes, Yan Klukowski, Chris Allen, Curtis McDonald, Matthew Bulman and Wayne Turk all request N/C terms (and backup squad status) in the new game I just created. I think such a number of players is quite surprising - is it really the rational choice for them to opt for N/C? Maybe someone could elaborate, but I would have expected most of them to want a new F/T contract. One hypothesis could however be that as contract types and squad status is intertwined in this game, and N/C is intertwined with backup status in the case of Forest Green, it could be the case that it works the other way round: these players rather feel (low ambition, moderate personality?) that they are no more than backup material for a club of Forest Green's stature, and thus request the appropriate contract type for a backup player in Forest Green: N/C. The setting "Contract types" seems able to explain some terrible flaws in the game, but I'm not yet sure if it also pertains to this case. Let it remain a hypothesis.

Preveza Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well...some of my top performers like Rowe and Forbes want NC terms so I have no idea what to do and dont want to lose them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preveza Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 And also Hogdkiss..Who played 41 games for me and had an average rating of 7.11 also wants NC terms. Surely a bug...He was on FT contract prior to his contract expiring. Can SI please explain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordas Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Let me get it right: you are actually able to change the contract type manually? That is, you have the option to offer a full time contract even though they request a non-contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preveza Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yes I have the chance to offer a FT or PT contract , but the players reject the offer. I believe its a bug. Surely has to be. My key players surely cant not want FT terms, especially now that weve been promoted to League Two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordas Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Very interesting. I suggest that the configured rational choice of the players in question is overly inclined towards requesting N/C terms. Are they requesting backup status as well (N/C=backup status, as configured in the editor)? By the way: have you entered the new season yet? Could it be that these players change their contract type preference when you're past the end of season 2011/12? It still doesn't make it right that they should request N/C while you're in 2011/12, methinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt try offer him a new contract after I entered L2 (Pre season) And yes they were requesting backup status. I have released 4 players due to this fact. They werent massive losses but I would have kept them if I had the choice. Thanks for the assistance mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordas Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Unless anyone can explain why requesting a N/C should be the favoured rational choice of that many players in such a club being in such a situation, I think it is fair to say that this issue is a candidate for being reported as a bug in the Bugs Forum. Are there any objections? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
