I thought this wouldn’t work on randomized files but never tested. But seems like it works.

I dont know 100% either. Seems like Doug tested though or has evidence it works for sure. Would explain some stuff that happened this FA though.

I agree with andrei. i have no problem if other people sim ahead. Using something to have a clue what will happen is far more realistic. I use Math, its not perfect but it gives you a pretty good idea of what will happen and when. They were wrong on Lillard leaving LA but i have made adjustments.

If you make a 4/20 offer and use math or sim ahead you get feedback like you would in real life. The player will say Im interested i could sign that in 4 days.

If you make a 4/20 offer and dont do anything you get no feedback from the player he just ignores you. this is not realistic.

Same thing goes for people knowing my offers. Agents talk in real life, theyll use current offers to get more out of other teams. Other GMs knowing my offers annoyed me at 1st but i used the logic that agents talk to be ok with it.

It was definitely news to me that it actually works to go ahead in FA. I've only ever known about the bug that allows us to see other offers. I have faith our admins will find a way to address it in the future.
