Ok, so as you see I posted up the Draft files in this forum. My plan is to release a file tomorrow sometime (presumably late, as my day is very full) including the updated draft, Free agency, and all trades to date. That will set us up for spring training.
I was having issues with the HHManager database, so I basically started it from scratch and it seems to be working ok now. All I have to do is re-enter correct salary information (well not contracts, I was smart enough to save those...just budgets, etc), and then I'll be on updating the file. I don't see a reason to post a new file right now that includes the draft but not FA or Imports or Trades.
Anyway I just wanted to have you guys up to date on what's going on. Once this file is released, people can do their ST rosters and we can do that within a few days, and actually have the season started.
PS- I know Sean is for having no ST at all. I don't think that'd be a good idea, because EVERY year when I do the first sim I have issues, so ST sim gives me a bit of a chance to work out the kinks. Also I like having the chance to give guys a shot at ML that I wouldn't want to during the normal sim, and see how they do. It actually does influence my decisions, in at least some way. I'm totally against getting rid of it altogether.
But I could consider doing just 1 30 day ST sim, rather than 2 15 day ST sims (over the course of 4 days or so), if people would rather do it that way. I feel like once we get going there's no huge rush, so 2 15 day sims is what I prefer, but if people would rather do it all in one shot that's fine with me too. That would just mean no changes to lineups once they're set at the beginning.
What do you guys think?
