I have been doing contracts in XFL, and while it's different than the old UI, it does seem to function properly. It might take some getting used to so I will delay the sim after end of season runs to give us all weekend to do free agency 1.

So as long as I do it correctly...

End of Season runs at 1:49 am eastern 4/3

Free agency 1 will run at 1:49 am eastern 4/6

Free agency 2 will run 24 hours later

There is still a contract error, the system will not let you put all of your eggs in one basket. If you offer a contract and slide both sliders all the way to the right, it will not go through. The contract logic does not recognize the annual 5% raise and errors it out. Bug box already has a post about it https://www.myfootballnow.com/community/forum-thread/7975?page=1#48506

End of season will still run tonight, just not sure when free agency 1 will actually run. I'd like this error fixed first.

I just delayed the sim 2 more days, I want those of you who haven't been through a free agency sim to feel comfortable navigating the process. I'm also still waiting for a couple of people to get back to me about keeping their teams after the renewal glitch booted them.

If you have any questions about the new UI please post them somewhere. I replaced most of my coaching staff in XFL and that went smooth. You just have to keep an eye on the position drop down menu as it likes to make everyone a head coach at first. Also the coaches salaries won't come off your payroll until they're fired so sort of ignore the remaining funds part. If you offer a coach a significant raise over the guy he's replacing you may want to do some math, like figure out how much money you have before you sign any coaches, then you'll know how much you can increase.

Searching free agents is odd at first, especially OL and defense. No longer are they grouped together, it's LT, LG, C, RG, RT, LDE, DT, RDE, etc. If you don't care which side of the line someone plays, or if you simply want to look at all LB's at once, click show out of position players. Only problem with that is it shows all OOP players. I haven't yet figured out how to sort by LB only (all 3 LB spots at once without the DL and DBs).

Afaik you still can't offer a player a multi year maximum contract, you'll get errors. You'll have to play with the numbers to get it as close as you can without triggering the error.

Now that PrivateSnowflake is back, the gang is essentially all here. There are still 2 owners from last season I have yet to hear from but the LA owner hasn't logged in since March 18th while the Houston owner hasn't logged in since the 29th. They can get their teams back if they want but I'm not waiting any longer.

I'll delay the FA1 sim 1 more day because I want everyone to have at least 2 full days to deal with FA1 under the new UI. This will be the last sim delay unless a new bug pops up. Thank you all for your patience.
