SIM COMPLETE - 1983 - Offseason 1

On the Available Personnel screen, you can right click on the coach's name and it should bring up an option to sign them.

My transactions say that I hired a scout, but it turns out he's the guy that Clay signed. I hope it didn't add that to my staff payroll.

I had the same thing happen on Oct 17. Actually, after going through my financials, I'm shelling out $3.85 million for staff expenses but after adding everthing up I should only be paying $2.68 million. Something seems to be wrong...

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot the minor league staff.

I don't know how much the Commish can edit in game, but it looks like team's like Carolina will need to have their Staff Expense edited back to $0 since he didn't get the Scout that I signed.

The funny part is, it says Carolina singed him for 4 years @ $250.... I actually signed him for 5 years @ $250... and Carolina was charged for the full value of the contract that I signed him for ($1.25 million).

The strange part is that Indy also tried to sign him and didn't get him... they also didn't get the Hitting Coach that it said they got (he went to manage AAA Memphis)... but Indy wasn't charged anything.

Yeah, its pretty awesome, I cant sign anyone. I LOVE IT!!!

I really hate how acquiring coaches is handled.

That same Hitting Coach now in AAA Memphis was offered more money to be the hitting coach at Denver and I still knew that it wouldn't work out. There's no rhyme or reason for their actions. Just random.

Thank goodness OOTP9 is set to solve this issue by making the process similar to free agency.

They also need to fix the promotion issue. I'd like to bump one of my own hitting coaches but the only way I can do this is by releasing him and then hoping he'd sign with me. Hmmm, I guess I could do that since no one else would actually have a chance to sign him in that same export.

I wouldnt try it. In order to get one of the scouts I wanted to sign I fired my worse scout to open up a spot. Then after not getting him after the sim, I tried to re-hire the scout I fired. He wasnt all that excited about re-signing with me. Still not too excited about it actually.
