I don't understand why this never gets fixed, I'm really tired of this:

A 30 year old Canadian player who plays in Canada, gets $900/week.
I offer him $8000/week, plus a 200K sign-in bonus. I mean, come on, this is no-brainer. Anybody, any professional, will accept this offer. But he rejects. I'm sure even if I'd have the money and offered him $100K per week, he still wouldn't accept. This is ridiculous. The AI players have no sense of money. In real life, there is always an amount that will convince any player to make any move.

And SI never fixes this!!

Money isn't always the only factor.

He might be content at his current club in Canada, might not like your club, etc.

Wrong.

dejasade

depends what club it is.
the canadian would quite happily join a top class team for 1000 a week.
a smaller club or a club in another poor league structure though? why move from one poor league to another? may as well stay.

I dunno... sometimes players will be willing to join poorer-quality leagues for the money.

Just look at the players who go to finish their career in the Middle East, or the recent trend for players to go to the MLS (while not exactly a poor league, it is usually a step down for them in terms of quality).

In this game, most players just won't join any given team, no matter how much is offered.

Sometimes I mess around with test games, and I give a Conference North team bunches of cash, and 10,000 reputation (max rep), and offer an ageing League 1 player who is on less than £1,000 a week £110,000 a week with a £5.5m signing on fee, and full bonuses everywhere, with a £0 release fee, a £0 non-promotion release clause, and a £0 relegation release clause, on a one-year contract, and they don't accept it. Admit it, if you were in your late 30s, you'd accept that.

The transfer system needs to be more flexible. So often I aren't able to replicate real-life transfers in the game (Roman Bednar on loan to West Brom with a £750k buy clause, for example)

That should be Often I can't even replicate. I should have re-read before posting.

Exactly, my point! Great exaxmple, thank you. I don't understand how people can defend this nonsense! It is definitely un-realistic, and needs to be fixed.
