How the off-season works:

  • Pro Bowl
  • Super Bowl / Scouting - You can scout while the 9ers win the SB.
  • [Stage 1] - Re-signings (Note: it will tell you that same week if they accept the contract or not. All you have to do is back out of the signing screen and it will be on your weekly checklist.) If your players decide not to sign, you can franchise them or let them go to FA.
  • [Stage 2] - Free Agent Signing - A WILD KURT WARNER APPEARS - In this stage, you will shoot your initial offers to FAs. It will tell you who has offered contracts and who the player is thinking of signing with by way of team logos under his info.
  • [Stage 4] (skips 3 for some reason) - Scouting/FA offers continued - In this stage, you can scout rookies in addition to offering FAs more/less/no money or signing them.
  • [Stage 6] (skip again) - More Scouting and FA offers. You get more scouting points. The same amount you get on a regular week. This is your final week to get offers in or take them away. Some FAs sign early so you might even have a signing or two done.
  • [Stage 7] - More scouting, more scouting points. FA is done. Last chance to spend this season's scout points.
  • [Stage 8] - NFL Draft/ FA recap - This is where we take speedy, 6'10 running backs with 95 truck and 98 stiff arm. You are no longer allowed to scout.

And that leads us to testing out the draft. I want to hold a mock draft with a few people Monday after the game or Tuesday afternoon/evening.

Things I would like to test:
  1. Ability to trade during the draft (trade down, up, whatever)
  2. Web draft ability
  3. Our connections (including chatting while drafting)
  4. Starting/stopping draft to increase/decrease the time (helps in the later rounds)

Anyone is welcome to join if you just want to see what it's like or test out your browser/phone if you can't make it to the actual draft. Of course, the picks will be completely blind because you haven't done any scouting, but it's not really about that. :p The league is called ngafmock. The pass is 'jgar' as usual. (gawd, I can't help but hear 'as youj.' Fucking Hard Knocks. Effu Les Brown!) Oh, and remember to use a coach, not a player...

One note: if they turned you down during the regular season, you won't be able to negotiate with them at all. They'll be completely unwilling to listen so all you can do is franchise them. You'll have to choose whom to keep if you have a list of "unavailable" players.

I love how you said you gave up when they introduced the alternate version of her when she finally started showing her acting skills and the best character other than Walter on the show.

I see mine sitting on the cradle out of the corner of my eye. I can't remember the last time I touched that thing. Its the same feeling of disgust i used to get by looking at my PS3

I expect more from you, Eznark. You're better than that. Jerking off to Gary Whitta for 24 hours must have drained all the blood from your brain.

well, saturday won out for the draft! so the off-season schedule is as follows:

1. FA will start after the superbowl ends. That will either be today or tomorrow.
2. There will be a 24 hour advance period between FA's weeks. i think there are 4 FA weeks but maybe levious or rors or someone who has done it can comment on that for certain
3. the draft will be on saturday (11/3) @ 10 am pst

THE DRAFT WILL BE ON SATURDAY 11/3 @ 10 AM PST

OK I want to point this out now in case I lose power and can't resign some of my guys.

1. Kellen Winslow will get resigned even if I have to franchise him
2. Steve Smith and Danny Amendola will both be resigned on offense.
3. Jonathan Goff will be resigned on defense.

You can pretty much have at the rest of my garbage, but those guys all technically came to the team as free agents (the stupid game cut Amendola when we advanced to the season.

Do LJ and Smokey play today?

Nevermind, saw the post saying they're going to play in the late afternoon/evening. Does that mean the super bowl gets played tonight?

FYI Frenchie, the reason you couldn't challenge that fumble in your game is because all fumbles are reviewed in both real and fake football this year. They get overturned by the booth sometimes but you can't manually challenge.

We have to factor in the weather for this offseason.

Guys in the tristate, myself included, may have our internet knocked out during this storm. Won't be able to do shit.

Yeah, not looking forward to this. It's weird that it's going to be almost exactly a year to the day that we got hit by that random blizzard last year. I lost heat and power for like four days during that, which suuuuuuuuucked.
