Re: 2018 Free Agency Tweaks

There's never going to be a perfect system. I think ours is just fine, and for the most part, has been good at creating competitive balance. It will overpay the allstars, and it will underpay the fringe players. There's no doubt about that. That being said... the way our sim is calculated, allstars...

Re: 2018 Free Agency Tweaks

I'll throw out a couple of ideas in here not as commish, but as a fellow GM. Some really love and some really hate a tiered approach to when players are let loose on the market. I can see both sides of that. I'd personally probably lean toward realism in most cases where all players hit the market a...

Re: Veteran Salary minimum not working

Yeah, it was an update either last year or the year before where we allowed the 1-year short veteran deals at rookie prices because in the NFL those veteran minimum deals for 1-year give the full money to the player but only count a rookie minimum toward the cap. I believe that was to help veterans ...

Re: Offensive line averages

That has come up at various times and places but separate grades for a player at different positions isn't a possibility with the current grades used I believe which provide one overall value for a player in general. We get updates throughout the season Player X goes from 78 to 80. It's not 80 now a...

Re: Pre Off-Season Discussion Topics

And while yards per completion seem high overall, odd that Calvin Johnson set records in reality with 1,964 yards receiving but he didn't crack that total in any of the three sim leagues despite strong passing numbers overall. Some of that I think because he had different SIM QBs in some cases and o...

Re: Pre Off-Season Discussion Topics

My AFFL team might be a good case study for the run/pass balance with the two leading NFL MVP candidates Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson on the same squad. NFL Peyton Manning: 400-for-583 (68.6%) 4659 yards, 37 TD, 11 INT SIM Peyton Manning: 400-for-550 (72.7%) 4831 yards, 44 TD, 10 INT NFL Adria...

Re: 2012 Draft

Yeah, for each pick when it is due has nothing to do with the picks before it. Each pick has a set time window and exact time due that won't change. If you read that your pick is due at 1:00 ET on a Friday, no matter what happens in the draft even if everyone else is online and makes their picks wit...

Re: 2012 Draft

It's based on already set time slot. So if your time slot is from 1:15 - 1:30, but the guy before you picks at 1:00, then you have 30 mins to make your pick. Time slots don't change just because someone drafts early. Yeah, and also on the other side for a pick if it ended up being posted later... l...

Re: 2012 Draft

I wasn't online at the time and wasn't sure immediately if it was manually selected or picked by the system. Looks like by the system, so will have it select from the top of the teams queue.

Re: 2012 Draft

In that case, I'm going to wait to make my pick until Troy fixes this issue. Or accept any trades for it. Thanks for waiting on that. I'm not sure why that happened yet, but will try to check further into it. In the meantime, fortunate it was the last pick of the day and removed that selection. Hop...
