Disappearing contract offers
I was made aware tonight of a team that had a contract offer "disappear". A player who was listed on this team's Pending Offers list as favoring their offer suddenly disappeared from the list. This particular team has suffered from this issue in the past. I'm interested to know if any other teams are being affected.

I've also had a couple minor league offers disappear. This problem popped up a couple times during the season, but it was for extensions and that's not as big a deal because you don't have other competing for the player's services. Here's it's a real problem.
This is the kind of bug I'd like to discover the status of before I give the green light for PEBA owners to begin pre-ordering OOTP 9.

The Sandgnats have 2 owners, myself and Dean.
Earlier, we lost the offer to LF Mark Frazier(who we signed recently as a free agent big stick). In my game(Bill), it disappeared and I was shocked due to him favoring the deal.
I was panicking and was thinking that we would have to resubmit a new offer and go through the waiting game again. But, low and behold the offer was still there with Dean's game at home. We are on the same version of OOTP 8, so that's a mystery.
The only difference I can think of is that I download the file and save it separately (due to my exhausting 2+ hour dial-up download time) and then extract to the PEBA folder. Dean grabs the new file from the in-game menu(like most of you). This probably doesn't help but just wanted to share the knowledge.
This can really create a lot of havoc with a team! Especially when a team is strapped for funds and there is really only 1 guy out there that can help you fill a needed slot. When you take into account the requirement of getting your rosters in order by certain dates, etc.-it can be extremely irritating. We were fortunate enough to avoid the problem, but it's definitely not enjoyable.
Have a good one!

I'm going to try my extension again and I'll see if it takes. I'll document it Wednesday pre- and post- simBorealis - Commissioner wrote:Send me the contract you want to offer and I'll make it for your during the next sim. That's been working for the owners affected by this bug.Hitmen wrote:It's happened to me now twice. What a pain.

Okay, it took last time, so i thought maybe I screwed it up, but now a new one disappeared this past sim.

I already re-submitted and it shows in my game, I have a feeling it takes the second time for some reason.

No. it's an initial offer that never gets responded to. It shows up in the pending offers after I export, but when I download the new league file after the sim, the offer is gone without a response.
