A couple seasons ago I think I brought up an idea of another kind of GM competition beyond wins/losses that was all about who was doing the best job of building their team up. We'd obviously still have football games to keep score on the field, but this would be a point system off the field with ran...

PLAYOFF FREE AGENCY: We close free agency at the end of the regular season. We mostly do that so that teams whose season is over and might not be visiting the site as much any more since not in the playoffs don't get all their practice squad guys signed away from them while they aren't looking to ma...

One of the frustrations that tends to come up in free agency over the years are some frustrated with low salary, high signing bonus bids, sometimes by rebuilding teams with cap space who may end up eventually trading the player and eating the big cap hit for the value since they have the cap space. ...

We'll have some more free agency or contract related discussions ahead (and feel free to suggest things either on these forums in responses or sending me a PM), but I'll start with a couple of grouped topics from notes I had throughout the year to possibly address. BACK-LOADED CONTRACTS: As things a...

Now that the playoffs are over, we've started up our off-season rules discussions as we do every season before we start a new one ahead. Watch this forum's announcements and rules discussion thread and make sure to participate in league discussions. This is the time when rules and simulation operati...

Let's start off-season rules discussions off with a very hot topic (at least in some leagues) that had some end-of-the-season and playoff implications. As always, we follow through with the rules in place at the time (that had been discussed multiple times over the years in various off-seasons) but ...

Today we simmed all our league championship games. Thank everyone for a great season! We'll start off-season rules discussions, polls, etc. this week as we start to move forward to next season now. I may take a day off or two first, as it's a three-day weekend for me. :) As you start thinking about ...

As noted earlier, we've uploaded grades from the end of the regular season. - Madden grades have been updated. - As we instituted in recent seasons, players with higher PFF grades get bonus points (max 1-3, lowest grades eligible for most bonus). 214 players were given bonus points for higher PFF gr...

Coming to the end of the regular season soon. As always, free agency closes at the end of the regular season to avoid situations like signings other teams' practice squad guys while teams are out of the playoffs and perhaps not checking on their team since finished for the year so they don't lose p...
