how did u sign them, are you still on easy? im on legend and none of my stars will take anything less than 300.000. No one, not even the crap players will sign for less than market value, weather for loyalty or a longer contact.
I dunno to what extent the difficulties make, but i play on seasoned.
but when playing on legend, i do not see why u couldnt get close to this...maybe one player less....Bott was a bargain.
Ceejay - SIGN PLAYERS COMING OFF CONTRACT, ONLY WHEN THEY ARE INJURED
Only sign injured players - unless ur desperate
Go and look for injuries - preferably long ones
Say Joey has a 10 week injury - is fit to play again on july 20
For every week that goes by, whilst he is sidelined, his market value will drop little by little
by the 9th week on the injury, he will never be cheaper....once he is back, its back to bullshite prices
I had Laurie Daley demanding $650,000 - yes i created him authentically
He gets a 15 week injury.
In the 12 week of the injury he was demanding $310,000 - more than 50% off, and for a created monster, THAT IS BARGAIN......the same happened to Mal Meninga, whom i resigned, i let Laurie go his own way.....seemed a centre does more damage, so i kept Mal.
I heard mini had a 13 week injury in june....i thought i'd won lotto
In august i went to check his price and he demanded $275,000 - to me thats cheap for mini, normally he is looking at $300,000 + (on both legend, god, and seasoned)..........i got him for $290,000......a little pricey for my liking but done.
After 3 years, he is still in top form, i won the GF, and now he only wants $210,000 (LOYALTY i gather)....thus resigned him, and now got $80,000 for a rookie.
They way i see it, injuries drop their form, and that drops the price.....but when they return from injuries, it only takes minimal matches to get them back to top form, and demand their rightful value...thus IMO signing them injured is like, getting them cheap as they dont play for you next year, in which they always are back from the injury.
I do not know the Extent of the implications of diffculty
but i will confirm, on any difficulty, mini demands $300,000+, and i got him for less on seasoned, and also, injuries do make them cheaper - i guess how much cheaper is determined by the difficulty...yet do not know the spread, from level to level.
p.s i got L Swain for under $100,000 aswell......injuries and great time to flash a contract around, as they are bed riddened, and unsure if they can bounce back.
