I had the top offer on an 85 FI coach, but instead the sim signed a 73 FI coach before the 85 signed with anyone.

I had a higher bid on the 85 FI coach, so I'm a bit confused why it'd force me to sign the guy I was less inclined to hire based on the monetary offer.

Any ideas WIS?

Mike can't you agree with someone for once? An owner abandons a team from before budget setting until a new owner takes over on the last day of ST. The Sim auto-hires a 31-rated AAA pitching coach yet there are 4 AAA PCs still available for minimum salary, all with ratings of 59-67.

If an owner abandons a team, any future owner can get essentially punished severely for doing nothing wrong in the sense of bad coaches stunting player development. I don't feel that is right. 

If you don't want to do anything to get a 74 rated coach versus trying to work and get a 77 rated coach, that's your prerogative. I don't think that is a huge advantage for you or your organization compared to the disadvantage of having a coach that is, for all intents and purposes, incompetent at potentially more than one level.

I'd agree, you know, if I agreed with what you said.

If I'm going to bid on coaches, and possibly pay top dollar, I sure as hell don't want someone who decides to not bid get better coaches at minimum prices.

Once the "best" coaches are assigned, most of us stop bidding.  

You're talking about a doomsday scenario.   Don't play in worlds where that happens.   You're welcome.

If I'm not mistaken it USED to be that way and owners complained that their coach who they fought for and spent  good money on was only marginally better than the guy simmy signed for johnny noshow.

I think it is absurd. They could find a happy medium between the best of the leftovers and the worst coaches out there. 

It certainly does cause unnecessary damage to a team that is likely already in poor shape.

In this scenario, would you say a 31 PC was deserved since a 59 would've been higher than other franchises who tried?
