This was my first off-season as a GM in need of free agents. As a test, I solely relied on Marketplace to fill the Bengals' roster. And, I'm happy to say, it was a success and very easy.

Myth Buster: No players listed belonged to inactive agents! In fact, I sought out a few inactive agents to confirm and their players were NOT in the Marketplace.

However, there are bugs that need to be squashed:
1) When searching 'all positions', clicking on the Position column doesn't sort at all.
2) When clicking on other column headers it only sorts that page not the whole list of players.
3) When searching individual positions, it won't show that there are multiple pages (e.g. when searching WRs it shows page 1 in the bottom right but not page 2, even though there are more players than fit on the first page... this is not an issue when searching all positions)

Even with these bugs, I could get around it by toggling Sort between Level and Recently Updated.

Conclusion: All in all, this is the handiest tool for any GM and I am surprised it has, seemingly, fallen out of use.
4 out of 5 stars.

PS. My recommendation (besides fixing the bugs) is to give it a more prominent place where it can easily be found. As in, change the top of page HOME, PLAYERS, GAMES tabs to: HOME, MY PLAYERS, MARKETPLACE, GAMES

I wish it would show human players on CPU teams too.

I think this should be address. cause I know I had to go look for players on the other CPU leagues one time. I try and sign to a human team when I can. if not a lot of my players go to those CPU teams

One thing I will add for all agents, when your player receives an offer please respond to it right away. Say yes. Say no. Or, send a quick PM saying you're considering it.

You will NOT insult recruiters by saying no. You will allow them to quickly move on to the next player on their list.

I probably missed out on 3-4 free agent players because I was waiting to hear back from agents who wouldn't respond.

The worst thing you can do is leave a contract offer hanging because recruiters don't know if you've been online to see it or not. So, they don't know if they should move on or keep waiting.

Maybe even from teams with inactive owners?

Oooooh good thinking Ace! This would be an excellent idea!
