  • Tonight's sim

    Ok. After I pull the files tonight at 10pm, I'll put drafted players onto their teams up until however far we've drafted by then. I know people are dying to see their draftees show up on their rosters and it'll foster some good conversation about the best picks, the busts, etc.

    To do this, I need to process (at least) 12 trades and make (at least) about 100 picks, but I'm up for it. However, this means tonight's sim will obviously not be showing up a little after 10pm as usual. I'm cool with doing it, but it'll just take a little while is all.

          One thing for folks to watch out for is that once your draftee is on your roster, he's treated as a rookie hold out - a free agent, basically, and therefor your set aside for rookie picks for that spot is gone and your 'Max For New Player' rises, even though you haven't signed the rookie yet.

          So it will look like you have more cap room to spend than you do because your 'Max For New Player' will go up. And you can't sign the rookies until the draft is over and we're into the secand phase of free agency.

          Be careful of that, because what has happened is guys use that extra room that the game lets them spend to sign free agents in FA-1, then don't have cap room left over to sign the rookies they just drafted.

          It's nice to have the guys show up on the roster. Like Christmas. :)

          But just watch out for that. Remember what you have as 'Max For New Player' because it will change.

          If someone wants to come along and tell me that's been changed in whatever subversion of whatever version, I'll be happy to hear that. But otherwise....

            Also remember that players don't boom or bust until AFTER training camp in 2k7.

              I know it's exciting and all, and everyone wants to see how they did, but I'm against putting players on rosters before the draft is over.

              If we can suddenly see that our leader has a problem with him or something, it changes our draft strategy for the late rounds and is like 'inside information', which skews things differently.

              Just my $0.02.

                  We get that info when we interview a player anyways.

                    Also remember that tonight's sim offers a chance to withdraw FA offers that you no longer want to extend due to players you've drafted.

                      FYI: After tonights export I am done with FA so I won't be exporting. Unless there is a reason I need to ?

                          Skerik --- honestly entering 100+ picks is above and beyond -- I would be happy with just the first 2 rounds for now but I'm not complaining just raising my hand in a toast =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

                            I wouldn't mind this either, especially since I've only had 2 picks so far :)

                              Well, here we go. I'll probably just pick until we're caught up, wherever that is when I'm done.

                              I reserve the right to stop earlier if this is really annoying though. :)
