Cdcox question

[JohnMeynardie]

Yesterday one of my free agents was signed by another team. I immediately matched the offer. The game has not awarded the player to me.

Does the game award the player only after 24 hours regardless of when the offer is matched or is there a glitch?

I don’t wish to lose a potential pro bowl safety on a game glitch. I am also making a record that I have attempted to match salaries.

Dolphins1 league, Brooklyn Bombers, player Talanoa Hufanga.

Thank you

I tried to communicate with CDCOX and Kevin regarding "matching" an offer by another team but I could not get them to respond within the 24 hour window. The rules say that you must go one additional year in order to retain the player. My player (Ekugam) had been bid for two years by another coach, but when I got the email it forced me to go 4 YEARS instead of 3 years, burning an additional 18 salary points. They should really make themselves available for questions like this.

[JohnMeynardie]

Mine said accept or decline. I chose accept but did not accept it apparently. The numbers were those of the winning bid and maybe I could have changed the numbers but it didn't look like it. I remember the rule about 1 extra year but they also repeatedly use the term "matching" which is more than ambiguous. At any rate, I've had no response. Fortunately, we're a friendly group and I'll work something out with the bidder: bid for him and then trade, compensate him with players or some combination. But hitting accept, should not be an option if you can't actually accept.

I reduced Ekugam's contract by one year and added 18 salary points to your total. The same "off-by-one error" that caused John's issue also caused yours. Should be fixed on future bids.

Ok, that seems to work. It was 47 salary points and 5 years. I accepted which put him on my roster but only for 4 years. If you can give me that 5th year I'd appreciate it but either way I'm thrilled I actually got him. Thanks.

All good and fixed.

It appears there is an error. I will have to look at it. It might be Saturday before I have time. In the meantime 1) list any players you tried to sign and 2) if anyone has better luck in matching an offer, post here.

Ouch, I did not know this could be a problem; I have signed a few guys via the accept option, I could not tell you who those guys were or what league they were in; (one of the hazards of running six teams). I have no idea if it worked or not.

I guess it really doesn't matter since I cannot remember them.

I just re-signed two of my FA and everything worked as designed. Head scratcher. I’ll as some follow up questions later.
