Which agent is the best?

I went with Matthew and he got my 9 HR 72 RBI 18 Years old guy a 998k 1 Year contract. Not sure what other agents get.

Jacob gets you a good deal - but you'll have to wait for a BIG contract until after you are a Free Agent. I wouldn't use Jacob until then.

How is Josh?
Oakley introduced him to me but I haven't pursued

AVG: Around .340
HR: 18
RBI: 57

I was a little disappointed with Matthew. I made a guy who hit .323 25HR 68RBIs in his first year and he only got him 810k. He was the only hitter on the team with an avg above .270 and lead the team in HRs. Pretty weak if you ask me.

the first negotiation is the best one with most agents.

How do the negotiations actually work, since you're the player? Do you get a list of teams that are interested? Do you get final approval on what your agent gets you? Do the agents take different %'s, or are they all the same rate?

Cmon guys, details, for those of us waiting 4 mos to buy the game. :)
