I'm sure this has been answered in another topic, but I am new here. It isn't allowing me to do anything with my team. When I read the preview about MFN, it said it is free. But my page says I need to purchase credits. I don't understand. Can someone explain this to me please?

you cant edit your team in a regular league only custom leagues can you edit a team

It says that I need to sign coaches. But when I try, it says that I need to purchase credits.

did you go to Coach Search then put Offensive Coordinator in at position score and put umemployed for team?

also same for Backfield coach??

Customizing your team does require credits - that is a premium feature - but that is just dealing with your team name, city, colors, etc. You should be able to do all of the other tasks involved with managing your team, purchasing credits gives you some premium features but gives you no competitive advantage.

As Punisher said, to hire coaches or sign players just perform a search and then offer them a contract. Once you've poked around a little bit you should get a feel for the flow. If you have any questions about how to do anything, just ask - there are lots of helpful folks in the community. But don't worry, there is no requirement to purchase credits to be able to do what you need to do.

I recently purchased Credits so I could rename my team

By doing that, I should still of have had credits available to me including the 5 "free" daily credits. But after the sim ran, instead of having 8 credits, I only had the 5 "free" credits available. What happened to my unused credits?

Your daily refill will return your credit balance to 5 each day, if it is below 5. When you have a credit balance of more than 5, you can renew/join one team per day for free, after that you must use 5 credits each time. You can see what transactions used your credits in your account page.
