People are actually buying the WiiU?

 

[jergrah]

ok and what happens if i turn injuries off and someone DOES join or drop later?

Our experience - once we turned injuries On, they would work during the game. After that, if commish transferred or a player joined the league, left the league or did the retire/ immediate rejoin option it would wipe all injuries and you'd be back to a clean slate.

Swapping commish also wipes the Twitter and FB links if you have them setup.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

FMT, good thing we reserved our WiiU when we did. Pre-orders are getting shut off all over the place.

I read that too. I knew I was right to preorder immediately!

 

[Mrbob]

I guarantee Gamestop didn't come close to selling out launch allocations. They'll open up pre orders again when Nintendo lets them know exactly how many systems they are getting.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

as for free agency, i'm not sure how we'll handle it yet. i like the idea of a free-for-all but then i don't like the idea that whoever happens to be online at that time can just sign up all the talent.

then i was thinking i could randomly draw names for a FA "draft order" (i have no desire for any FA's, so i would be #32 by default!)

i also thought about waiting until week 5 like we did last year and letting worst team select first, to the best team selecting last.

what do you bro's think

 

[McNei1y]

Has the lg started aka can we play games or are we still waiting? Just curious.

As for FA, I don't mind a draft order type thing. There's really only one player I want from there, though.

 

[Sokantish]

Have the jags been decided yet?

 

[Wellington]

Free for all would be the worst way IMO. It screws those of us with long job hours!

 

[eznark]

Start a FA thread, bid there.

I'm for free-for-all. That said, if we do the ol' draft, I want to do it ASAP this time. I'm sick of waiting for shit. Let's get rolling. Just assign a random order. We can do one round and then free-for-all that bitch at a time when most are around.

I nominate Rors for Commish.

teams still not signed in:

Ravens - livewire
Bears - MrBob
Texans - Smokey
Jags - whoever

less than 2 hours before i flip the switch!

 

[Sokantish]

rinse82 asked if he could take the jags, I guess the other dude no showed. So should rinse82 sign in as them?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Have the jags been decided yet?

drizzler still hasn't shown up or PMed me. i don't think dark faze was around to play rinse and rinse pm'ed me that he isn't around today so if dark faze and rinse aren't around to sign in then i'll have to find someone else! perhaps denogg!

Some things just never change.

 

[McNei1y]

Dammit, Bob!

 

[Sokantish]

Or you could just let rinse join tomorrow and start today anyway

Hey give Bob a break, he scored some goals for our team last night

 

[Wellington]

Anyone want to rumble?

 

[eznark]

Bob is busy with a good game.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

the problem with the draft order for FA is that obviously some of these people wont be signed into the league within the next hour and a half, so the CPU will just start cutting and signing players which kind of defeats the purpose

 

[Sokantish]

So you're saying maybe we should be patient and wait for some more people to sign in?

the time for patience has passed

 

[McNei1y]

the time for patience has passed

yea we've waited 2 and a 1/2 weeks!

 

[Sokantish]

If teams start signing FA I'm gonna sign McNabb so FAST you guys wont know what happened

 

[Wellington]

Enough talking! Who wants to play!

 

[DCX]

Why not just make a draft order from worst rated team to best. Some people wont have cap room to sign anyone anyway. We could get through it fairly fast.

The week five order of worst record to best would be good also. I agree with FMT. The time to be patient is over.

because no one knows exactly who the worst rated team actually is with the weird ratings things that dont matter

 

[Sokantish]

Vikings are the worst team, I'll go first

 

[Sanjuro]

I think there was a couple FA's I was looking to get.

Curious how the process would be as well.

 

[jergrah]

We used ESPNs Power Rankings for our FA draft.

And if you guys get stuck without a Jags owner I'd happily join in and use that shit team

 

[DCX]

CCM ratings are bogus. Go with the 53 week 1 ratings and roll with that. There has to be a a 1-32 ranking for them.

[DMczaf]

Never start a coop game with MrBob.

We've been on the last level of Fear 3 for 2 weeks now because he won't finish it. THE GAME IS 4 HOURS LONG!


MrBob, bad for the league, bad for America.



I'm DMczaf and I approve this message.

 

[DCX]

FA shouldn't stop the league from playing week 1 games today.

DCX

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

free agency will not stop us from playing immediately. however, i have decided we will do a FA draft. 1 round, and then it's a FFA after that. the order of the draft will be determined by the team ratings, which i will post in just a moment.

 

[Somnia]

At this point I say just let people sign FA's as soon as the league starts, it may not be 100% fair, but there is a salary cap for a reason. It's not our fault people aren't around!

edit: FMT beat me to the post, I can live with that. I just think we should put a timer on it, people cant take 24+ hours for their pick at FA

 

[LJ11]

Enough talking! Who wants to play!

You still want to play?

 

[DCX]

We have to keep 53 min all year round correct? ( Ram rule )

I have 63 on my roster so i will cut down in the mean time.

[Rorschach]

If he doesn't, I will.

I don't know for sure, but I think it doesn't allow you to go under 53, but you can have more than 53 up to a certain point in online CCM

 

[Rorschach]

The game doesn't let you play if you have less than a 53 man roster or less than the number of required players per position. You don't need to police that.

there is the draft order from bottom to top! (vikings will get the first selection, then rams, etc)

 

[DMczaf]

The game doesn't let you play if you have less than a 53 man roster or less than the number of required players per position. You don't need to police that.

The game also doesn't let users edit their contracts, so we are good there as well.

 

[Sokantish]

This is too much pressure

 

[Wellington]

You still want to play?

Yeah I'm on. Let's go!

Eh, scratch that, I won't be able to play, too close to other plans.

 

[LJ11]

Yeah I'm on. Let's go!

K.

You got next Rors.

 

[DCX]

Perfect. you can sign free agents from the maddencareer site. go go go!

DCX

 

[LukeSmith]

If any of the CPU teams who aren't signed in cut good players, or try and trade with you - do not.

It's just going to make even more of a headache when these guys do finally sign in. So don't be a shithead

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i have disabled CPU trading already

 

[Rorschach]

Don't start signing now because the CPU is lurkin'. We have to wait for everyone to sign in. BUT! you can pick now. You're on the clock, Soka!
