Few Questions....

1) Are we going into the 07-08 season or do we run one year behind?

2) Free Agents. Where can I look to see free agents

3) Basically players in general. Under League I couldn't really navigate it and find stuff. Can someone point me in general direction for finding players, looking at stats and ability levels, etc etc etc.

Thanks,

-Pyro

1) Year behind

2) You'll see it when we get it up... But it's apart of the league pages.

3) See that cool Jags logo at the top right over your posts? Click on it. You can currently look at offense, defense, contracts, and a couple other things... They are being revamped currently because they just weren't good enough anymore.

Two new questions:

1) How do the games work, are they done on a weekly basist and last the full 4 months or daily, etc?

2) Cash, about you creating the draft for this year, what players are going to be involved? Are you doing all the rookie prospects because surely your not doing ALL the players entering the draft lol.

They are done as they are gotten to. No specific time between games is set. Sometimes there could be several games in a weeks time and sometimes there will be times where things slow down for one reason or another.

Draft classes are imported from NCAA. At least they were. I am assuming that we will be getting the PC version of NCAA and updating the rosters to names and importing the draft classes.

It's not uncommon for a weeks worth of games ( Sunday, and Monday Real Time ) to be done in a weeks time.

No... Not doing all the players in the draft.

Well that what I wanted to know, if he's doing just the main prospects that I linked to (which isn't that many players) otherwise we're not gonna have enough players to draft from....

There WILL be enough players to draft from... you guys as owners really shouldn't worry about stuff like "Will we have enough draft prospects?" That's pointless for an owner to spend his time thinking about when you have the best league commissioner to ever grace the planet running the league

There is NO NCAA for the PC.

lol, well guess you don't know me then that would be a good comissioner. I was looking through the rookie prospects at "sleeper" guys that might be really good for my team. Thats why I'm wondering p

Ouch. Is there a way to DL draft classes? Or are we stuck with generic Madden draft classes?

Please try to keep it in one thread so I don't have to keep jumping around.

In the old league, if you were a good owner you got to keep your team, unless you wanted to jump teams. This time you can still keep your team or jump ship, but you have to 2000 points to do either.

Oh so you have to pay to keep your team again the next season? Hmm...

Also, any changes you make, do they carry over to the next season or do the rosters reset back to what they would be for that year (ie, I make trades this year. 2007-2008 comes around, my trades stand or does the Jaguars roster set to the 2007-2008 default roster)

Roster do not reset every year. They keep going, like in real life. Cap hits and everything. You have to rebid on a team every year.

Next Question?

Youch, that suck though because owners don't lose their team each year. What if someone brings a team to an amazing year with lots of trades and then someone on here who's rich comes and buys out his team next season?

Not to meantion the picks we trade for.....why trade for picks if we might not be able to use them?
