I went from just over 1 mill for my 3rd season with michael to 16.5 mill in my 4th with darryl. Both were 5 stars. Initial offer was like 8.5, then 10, then 12.5, then 16.5. Darryl said "the negotiations went very well" or something. I didn't have that great of a season, like .335/25/70 and 200 steals. Didn't even make the AS team but got darryl when I won player of the month. Also won back to back WS titles.

Let's please try to keep topics on topic.

Don't make me start docking/resetting post counts for these needless posts.

I'm confused whether it is my 2nd or 3rd year but it was the second time I went to contract negotiation and Daryll got me a 1 year $7,790,500 contract

Daryl bumped up my contract 40%, he said it was "alright".

I think I'm at 4Mil now.


This time around, Daryl got me a lower rate than I got last year; he negotiated 4 times. Jacob was far less.

Okay, let me get something off my chest. Unfortunately, it isn't chest hair, still don't have that... :cry: :cry: :cry:

We all know that Jacob sucks.
We all know Matthew is ok.
We all know Darryl is the best.
We all don't freaking care who Michael or Joshua are.


I hate seeing the same thing over and over again: "I got 4,000,000 with Darryl and only 2,300,000 with Jacob. I can't believe how much he sucks."

Yes, we all know. If you didn't know that, you should have been reading all the other posts in this section (My Life Mode), which has the exact same stuff.

I'm sorry for sounding completely pissed off, but its littering this section, and I'd like to see a topic in this section with at least a dozen decent messages not about how Darryl is better than Joshua or whatever.

If you've actually read this far, give yourself a pat on the back. If you're a mod or admin, please don't take this the wrong way; I'm just voicing my opinion. I'm finished. Thank you.
