2013 RULES: Anonymous Bidding

[tkienast]

Will we still be able to have a list of who our 5 bids are out on in the FA page? I assume the answer is yes but thought I better get clarification. I'd hate it if that was hidden too, my mind isn't what it used to be and I know I'd forget who I've bid on if it wasn't listed.

Probably a silly question but putting it out there anyway.

No silly questions... yeah, you'd have all the same information as before to keep track of your own bids, but the only thing that would change would be you wouldn't know other team's bids or who was winning a particular bid (unless it was your own bid winning at the moment). You'd know all your bid info, but none about other teams bids. You'd know the top bid for Player X is $X but wouldn't know who has the current top bid from other teams.

[Goodell]

Anonymous bidding is widely supported per the poll.

We'll adjust the free agency pages to not list the specific team names until a player is signed. You won't know information about other teams' bids (as those will be handled anonymously now), but will know the same information as always about your own bids.

We'll see how that goes and re-evaluate next off-season if better or worse for most.

I noticed I can still see who is the highest bidder. Is that suppose to happen?

[Royce R]

Dont think so, he fixed it at the bottom.

But current highest bid in "RED" still shows who's winning.

[Jared A]

Yeah, I sent him a couple PM's earlier. Saw that also.

Seems to be fixed now. This makes it kind of interesting. I think I'm going to like this new aspect of the game.

Couple days in now and I still cant decide if I like it or not. I voted for it but it seems as if some of the rivalry has been taken away... it seemed funner getting into a bidding war when u knew who the other guy was!

Yeah, I don't know who to yell at! Hahaha. It's an interesting new twist.

But it is replaced by the fun of guessing who is paying Calvin Johnson $20 mil a year. I'm honestly really excited to learn the teams behind the big bids.
