BB-Charles posted a message today saying that free agency is back. What exactly does this mean? Is it just an increase on the amount of players in the player market? And how are these players picked? Are they "retired" players from extinct BB-teams or fired players chosen randomly?

In the past, the players that become free agents were from inactive teams, and have a salary over a certain threshold (which varies over time, and it not made public). If I had to make a completely wild unofficial guess, the salary threshold now would probably be in the $50K range.

will future FAs come from recently bot teams as well? or will they select a certain group of $50k+ players to come out of retirement?


To clarify, $50K was a wild guess and is almost certainly not the real threshold.

In the past, teams that were already bots did not supply free agents. Just teams that became newly inactive.

In the past, if I remember correctly, there was a threshold that was dependent on age. The lower the age, the lower that threshold. In other words, perhaps the threshold for an 18 year old might be $9K, for a 19 y.o. $14K, and so on...

Is there a way to specifically search for these FA's? Or do you just have to sift through all the payers one by one?

There is no way to search for just the free agents, but I found some by setting the minimum salary at 10,000 and the maximum bid at around 50,000. A lot of players returned with that search as a FA.

Also to note, it looks as though the threshold for FA is around 10k salary.
