This must have been suggested before, but...

The current offer settings is nice. But the game needs more. Here is an example as to why and then the suggestion to fix.

Example. I need one LOT and one ROTs. Despite pre-Day41 efforts I was unable to get committed dots. So I send out several offers to LOTs and ROTs.

Despite monitoring the game closely, one and then a second ROT accept my offers before I get a chance to cancel the ROT offers. Now I either have to roll with 3 ROTs and 1 LOT, or 5 OTs, or release someone eating an additional chemistry and annoying someone who thought they had a slot and just cancelled all the offers they had to come play with me. Not fun. I'm going to go with the 3LOT or 5 OT option. But if I needed that slot of the 55 then I would have to annoy a GLB customer besides myself. And the other options annoy too, since they will get less play time and or get beat up against a type of DE they were not built for.

Solution - have the settings able as an option to be set to specific Depth Chart positions, and have the OPTION of assigning an offer to a specific Depth Chart position. Thus if I only want two LOTs on my team, then I can set the LOT limiter setting to 2 and then send out LOT offers till the cows come home and no matter how many I send out the first two who accept will be the only two I sign, so long as I tag the offer as an LOT offer.

Details. Have four settings for OTs, General OT, LOT, ROT, STOP OT. Offers sent without tags would increment the General OT. LOT, ROT, STOP OT would increment their specific OT setting AND the general setting.

The latter point would help with CBs and WRs or HBs for example. I might be will to have no more than 3 possession wide receivers, 3 speed WRs, or 1 Power Wide Receiver, but not want more than 6 WRs over all. So I set those settings and when the total hits 6 the whole position class locks up and I get whatever mix accepted, be it 2 4 and 0 or 3 2 and 1, etc.

This seems to me to be doable and well worth adding to the recruiting system.

You agree?

This would also allow me to set some

Okay no plusses and no minuses makes me think the OP is too confusing????

The idea is basically to add more positions to the Team Needs Page, so that you can set your No Over Sign settings for LOT and ROT rather than Just OT, and so forth for all the other positions, and also allow it to be done by Arch Type.

Talking about this page here
http://goallineblitz.com/game/market_team_needs.pl

Then when you send offers you would have a drag down menu to say what position you want the Team Needs system to consider this player to be.

If not changed then it would default to his general type normally.

Clearer?

I think they already have this...

Go to "Roster" -> "Edit Team Needs" -> "No Ovr Sign" Make it "Yes" instead of the default "No"

I think this is what it is supposed to do, haven't used it so I am not sure.

Hello blind squirrel. I think you found a nut.

+1 to adding archetypes to the the Team Needs and separating positions a little more
