Basically that player has not chosen to sign yet, hoping he can get more money.

Dont really understand weight Training.. Have painstakingly gone through a lot of players on my roster and every one that says Weight is low, it Says further bulking up will have no affect for this player. And all the ones that say weight is High it Says further timing down will have no affect for this player. Whats the point of all this if it wont let me Weight Train anyone?

Also on creating the Playbook.. Letting Rex do it, there is one setting called Offense Threshold.. In the help file all it says this is a bounce to plays in your Off Coord Style and is defaulted to 15... Ok.. What does that mean.. What if I changed it to 40? Or 50? What does it do?

Thanks!

1) Regarding to weight, a player who is way off his targeted weight coming from the University , won't be able to get into his ideal weight per position. Try to find their best position on the field and switch him to if needed. For example heavy LBs can be good pass rushing DEs, and light DEs can be good pass rushing LBs... I will post later on a link to the FOFC Central where some great position switches were made. A really interesting read.

Only mild variations to adjust the player to the targeted weight will be possible. Refer yourself to the weight tables in Offensive and Defensive Philosophy within the help document.

2) If you mark 0 as an offensive treshold Rex will try to generate the plays that suit your OC's philosophy. It won't be perfect, but will be acceptable at least. Bear in mind that play-books in the NFL have different phylosophies in them, not only West Coast or Spread, but Smash Mouth and Balanced concepts are also included.

If you set the treshold to 40-50 plays generaror will be more random.

For example my 1st Round pick this year (OG Marina) was drafted as a RT weighing only 309 lbs and can only trim down, I switched him to LG, position that fits perfectly his weight. Now I have a hell of a LG in his perfect Weight.

Players who are over or underweight will perform worst than their bars shown, so use the weight as a tie breaker between 2 players.

What I did was set like 125 lays at 0 threshold then the rest was random for variety.

At this point I am still letting Rex do a lot while I am learning.. For Pre Season the coaches do play the starters much less correct? Like a realisitc real Pre Season..

They play the back ups as well, but I suggest you to save your Stars and put them as deactivated 2 or 3 games, to avoid injuries.

After the Staff Draft there is some reflections that I would like everyone to know, when you select a Coach be sure that is focused in what you want for them, as they are a little bit different than in real life.

Head Coach --> Motivation, Discipline, Interviewing should be the higher bars to aim for. Then player development and young players, or Scouting if you want to rely more on scouting than on development.

Coordinators --> Mainly Play calling and Scouting. Interview and young players come next.

Strength Coach --> You want the best in avoid injuries (The 2nd bar).

With the Draft finished here is some support for next editions.

My scouts lowered Fry's new rating after training camp. Hope it can rebound after the Ex. games. Went from 69-61 future rating.

Nice to see B. Noland find a home in St. Paul for a steal of a price. Dont know how an agent would be asking for 25 mill one day and the next day after LFA drop to 1.5 mill....You got a reliable QB STP.

Is it possible to trade with the AI in MP leagues?

That's at the commish discreción really. But por general rule, MP leagues don't allow trades with AI teams as the AI does a bad job already filling in their Roster and managing the salary cap
