One thing I have noticed is that if you just click "meet demand" it doesn't recognize it as an offer. You can click that, go into pending offers, and it won't show up. But then you can't offer them another contract because it says you've already submitted an offer. I thought I had read that they had fixed that issue with the last patch, but I tried it on a cheap player this time around, and the same problem still exists. So I've learned to click "submit offer" instead of "meet demand", or just change the offer by $1 and you're good to go.

This was a bug in a recent version. Make sure you're up to date on OOTP versions.

I am, that's when I read about the fix

It's still happening to you? If so that's something for sure that should be posted in the bugs forum on OOTP forums.

[Whittness10]

Maybe I didn't download the new patch correctly?? That could be a good possibility.

[TheGobOne]

In OOTP go to File > Help > About OOTP. You should be on Version 22.11 Build 82.

If it's a different build then I would suggest patching. It's pretty straightforward to patch.

This is the thread with the current patches - https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/sho ... p?t=333364

Make sure you close OOTP!! Download your installer (PC or Mac) and then just install that. If you have any issues hit me up on Slack.

[Whittness10]

Alright that's the issue. I'm on Version 22.10 Build 79

[Whittness10]

Alright that's the issue. I'm on Version 22.10 Build 79

Done. Yeah I think I still had OOTP open and that's probably the issue. Good thing was that I had the patch saved in my downloads so I just had to install it.

- I have not heard from our new Edmonton owner and he has not exported at all in the offseason. I'm going to assume Edmonton is open again unless I hear from him today. I protected a couple of obvious players from their team since it's 99% likely they are open.

[GeorgesGoons]

season ticket sales are overrated!

Last year I sold a bunch at $15 a piece, had more fans show up and had a higher ticket price for the whole year and still lost revenue. I'm trying something different this year, going with higher season ticket prices and sticking with my normal sales during the season.......nothing can go wrong right?!?

[Whittness10]

Damn it all…. Set my Rule 5 list last night. Forgot to set it for all rounds

[TheGobOne]

That's what I'm doing to this year. Like 10% higher for season tickets and then lower during the season. Seems kinda backwards now that I type it out but oh well too late.

[qazhby]

I think im out of the Juan Sierra saga

[TheGobOne]

Ann Arbor drafting 10 guys in R5 is now an annual tradition I see lol.

[Graywolf357]

I think im out of the Juan Sierra saga

So am I.....=scout had him at 80 pot avg. After scouted a few times keeps dropping.

[nick]

damn this is a no bones HOF year.

He went from wanting $1.6 million to $25 million in one sim. That is nuts

[shel311]

He clearly underestimated his worth.

You're saying that so everyone moves on to other players, then maybe he'll accept your 27mil offer
