I've seen a lot of questions about the new contracts, so here you go:
Q: What does each type of contract do, and how should I use them?
A: There are three types of contracts:
1) 40 Day contract - these are the contracts you are all used to. It starts on the day you sign and ends on the same day after 1-3 seasons.
2) Season contract (ends on day 40) - this type of contract ends on day 40 of the season, no matter when you sign it. If you sign a 1-year seasonal contract, it will end on day 40 of The current season. A 2 year contract will end on day 40 of the next season. This is for owners who want all of their contracts to end on the same day for organizational reasons.
3) Short term contract - this type of contract is for level 10 and under players ONLY. This contract can last for 10, 15, or 20 days. This is a good contract for new players who are not sure if they want to stay with the team or not. Chemistry will be hit less by expiring contracts, so use these contracts as a feeling out period.
Q: What's with the minimum signing bonus?
A: All players over level 10 have a minimum signing bonus of 5 * minimum salary when signing them as free agents.
Q: Do I have to pay the bonus when I renegotiate with my existing players?
A: No. It is only for new free agent signings.
