Which takes us back to where I started - updated eligibility only came online a week or two ago. You extended your punter well before that. Even when you went to the manage roster screen, you were looking at last season's eligibility. The only way to know that was by reading here, true, but that's been common knowledge.

And again, why didn't you click on the link to see if he was actually worth a damn before signing him to a three year deal? It's right there - just click it and it will take you to pro-football reference. That's what I don't understand.

Players are signed during the season in reality due to injuries and other factors forcing others out\off the roster. Again, not hard to understand. You're talking out of both sides of the mouth again.

The players that are signed in real life are street free agent caliber players. Sandbox has endeavored to create that caliber of player via the Street Free Agent tool here. I'm not talking out of both sides, I'm saying that Sandbox has built you a ready-made composite street FA and that's the kind of performance you'll get from him. The caliber of player that we presently have a slew of in FA is not signed during the regular season because, again, we have surplus talent in this league.

This makes much more sense to me as it's explained out, and if this is the intended reasoning behind the coding, then that's good. The problem is then - For a player in my situation who is brand spanking new to this. There is no repository for information. Nothing. I did not know that the season was starting until Monday when I read someone talking about the games starting then this past weekend. Hence, my surprise when FA ended. The ONLY information I have read is the few discussions I've seen on this thread and an email I got one time explaining Free Agency by Rain Man and was given the following tid-bits in the email

Always happy to help. That said, as you've noted, it is in BETA and CD had to build the entire draft/FA setup over the last several months. That occupied a lot of his time so the rest of this isn't spectacularly user friendly yet. I'm confident it will get there.

That will speak to schedules, roster freezes, gameplay mechanics and the like I'm sure.

In the interim- click on the damn hyperlink and make sure your player's actually been on a roster in the last 24 months next time.
