Honestly, if a blind sim happened this past FA, I probably would have signed all my FAs anyway since I offered them a bunch right off the bat. I doubt anyone would have offered Etan 4 years 6 million like I did.
Maybe Loco is right. A blind sim will avoid jacking up prices.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
A lot of teams will way over pay there own guys though, I know I for one would be terrified of losing McDyess next year and may give him a max he isn't worth, afraid to lose a star for nothing
Let's look at this the other way around, what if my wizards have space for 1 Max guy, then I bid the Max on Kobe(my FA) and because we're allowed to bid more than our cap space, I also bid on tmac. Then the sim gets me tmac 1st then resigned Kobe for me. I will end up with tmac and Kobe. Yay!

This is what I was worried about originally, but once I realized it was possible I started gearing up for it. Because if none of my players signed in the first sim I could offer 2 potentially 3 max in the first sim. Get those guys then offer max contracts to all of my players and be crazy good next year. I'd honestly rather not try to do something crazy like that, but whatever the system is I hope it gets figured out soon. And not to hijack this FA thread into tanking, but in the other tanking one I never saw a response, why has cwilder (who has never even set a depth chart to my knowledge) able to have the 2nd worst record in the league and not get any crap for trading his best player for David Robinson and now David Robinson never plays even though he is not injured.

More than likely Cp3 auto set his depth chart at the beginning of the season and hasn't updated it since... also I think if you put out more offers than cap space than they can't be to any of your own FA, because in real life there are cap holds and a scenario like that would be bad for the league.
Perhaps you were on the good end of this. I has Shammond williams with a 96 in Loyalty, started him, played for a team that made the WCF and offered him 3 million more per year than then he signed with a middling Suns team (No offense) who already had 2 PGs better than him. sorry but those numerical grades don't mean anything in this game.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

I do agree that cwilder has been probably the most inactive GM (outside of onpoint and eman, who are out). He basically came back after the 3rd sim and was like OH BOY IM IN THE LEBRON RACE!, traded away his best player for picks, and disappeared. So I'm with HornetsKY (hehe) on this one.
If you don't want to lose your star, pay him. And i agree with janjanjan, there was too much 1 person bidding 2 years, 2.5 min and then someone going 2 years, 2.6mil seconds later (can't lie, i did that myself sometimes... but only for players i really wanted). Make your offer, and if you set the market, so be it.
Well, if they're a star, they deserve the max IMO. If they're not, don't pay them. I'm ok with someone offering Jamal Mashburn in 2 years a max deal and me losing him. It's the way of things. It gets tougher for these guys over 30, because you don't want to offer a 7 year max deal to a 32 year old guy.
Ahhh, so resigning your own guys, you can only go over cap if you have bird years?
